With a North Melbourne's Round 1 clash with Port Adelaide just one month away, the Roos' list hit the track on Friday afternoon for match simulation.

An intense clash took place at Arden St oval, as the mercury tipped over 33 degrees.

With players switching between teams, there was no winner, but a number of players did their Round 1 prospects no harm.

Luke Davies-Uniacke found plenty of the ball, as did Jaidyn Stephenson when deployed in midfield.

In defence, Jack Ziebell took a number of intercept marks, while Ben McKay performed a stellar job on Nick Larkey.

Cam Zurhaar starred in the forward line, booting four majors.
