North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson has declared his team's season "still alive" after they made it through a gruelling seven-game stretch with two wins and their pants back on.
North rebounded from their 124-point loss to Fremantle in Bunbury with a thrilling one-point victory over West Coast in Perth on Saturday night.
Both of those matches were technically Kangaroos home games after the cash-strapped club sold them to the West Australian government under a lucrative three-year agreement.
