While most of North Melbourne's players are already gearing up for 2010, a small contingent will make the trip to Eureka Stadium on Saturday to represent North Ballarat in its First Qualifying Final against Port Melbourne.
2008 draft pick Warren Benjamin will feature in the reserves game, while the Roosters' senior team will rely on the youth of Cruize Garlett, Michael Wundke, Marcus White and Josh Smith to provide the spark. The experience of Corey Jones, Aaron Edwards, Ed Lower and the retiring Shannon Watt will be important to setting the tone early under the pressure of finals football.
