With just 10 weeks to go until North Melbourne begins its 2014 home and away season, pre-season training has kicked off once again and will continue to increase in intensity.
The NAB Challenge matches will provide everyone with their first look at how the playing list is shaping up for the year. Matches against Carlton, Hawthorn and Geelong provides North with a chance to test itself against three finalists from 2013.
Tasmanian Roos’ fans will also have the chance to see the players, with clinics to be held the day after the match against the Hawks. More details will be published closer to the date.
