Pre-game pump up
Keep an eye on the scoreboard after Richmond’s team enters the ground for the video above. The video, featuring the traditional first verse of the North Melbourne song will be played prior to the players running out at all Roos home games this year.
Make sure you watch the scoreboard about 10 minutes before the bounce and join in the chorus to pump up the team when they enter the field!!
North’s new mascot ‘Kanga’ will also be in action again on screen and in the flesh, dancing up a storm prior to the bounce. Kanga is also expected to spend some time in the North End, the Huddle bays and the cheersquad during the game.
The name ‘Kanga’ was selected after a spirited competition to choose a name, which was taken out by Roos member Brendan Silva, who has won a special appearance by Kanga.
