Excitement in Tasmania is building as the day of North Melbourne's first AFL home and away game draws closer.
Talking to Hobart's 7 HOFM on Wednesday morning, vice captain Drew Petrie had glowing praise for Blundstone Arena.
"I went and had a look at it (Blundstone Arena, last Saturday) because I've never been there before. It's a great setting and it's good that they're going to keep the hill which will keep some of the atmosphere. The surface was beautiful as well," Petrie said.
Clearly North Melbourne's efforts in Hobart have been paying dividends, as over 10% of the club's members for 2012 hail from Tasmania.
To listen to the full interview, including Petrie's nominated target for the next round of media interviews and changes to his home life, press play on the video at the top of the page.
