North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson has challenged his players to become road warriors as the club attempts to become a "fair dinkum" premiership challenger.
The Kangaroos have turned Marvel Stadium into somewhat of a fortress this year, winning five of their six games at the venue.
But it's been a different story on the road, with North nursing a 0-5 record away from Marvel this season.
Saturday's match against Fremantle at Bunbury - about 175km south of Perth - is technically a home game for North given the club's deal to sell two home fixtures a season to Western Australia over a three-year period.
But although they won't have the majority of fans on their side, it represents a good opportunity for North to show they can be a force on the road.
