* Bont testing his fitness through various means, but not out on field, Bevo won't confirm whether playing or not - at this stage 50/50
* Land of Giants - Because Darcy has matured, 4 headed monster work better. Couldn't drop Lobb with his performance - top 6 against Freo. Also sounds like they won't all be in F50 at the same time for many minutes - they will play various roles around the ground. Maybe Lobb on wing?
* Caleb - was sub and better if he has a full game at Footscray
* Expecting a fierce contest against in form North
* Sounds like Naughton will be on reduced game time
* Buss how far away - doing best to help him succeed, he is behind in pecking order of some senior players. Improving and developing - can't say when he will debut.

North Melbourne v Western Bulldogs Saturday - 1:45pm AEST – Marvel Stadium
It’s fair to say the Bulldogs have enjoyed playing against North Melbourne in recent years. So much so that the AFL took them off the Good Friday game for maybe enjoying it a little too much?
The Dogs have won their last five encounters over the Kangaroos by an average margin of 59 points.
North has generally been monstered by the Bulldogs’ supreme contest and clearance players and also had no way of restricting their key forwards from getting involved.
However, the Roos have had a great month. They should’ve beaten Collingwood and Melbourne in successive weeks and it’s largely due to their emerging midfield group coming together.
The Dogs are also in good form and starting to build towards a finals run, making it nearly impossible to tip against them – even with a question mark over Marcus Bontempelli’s availability.
It’s another big test for a young Kangaroos side that has given it their all, but come up short these last few weeks.
Tip: Western Bulldogs by 26 points
