AFL ladder  leaders North Melbourne take on Sydney in the opening match of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round at the MCG on Friday night.

North have wound back the clock to the glory days of the 90’s in 2016 and currently sit two wins clear of second place on the AFL ladder.

Key forward and two time Indigenous All Star Lindsay Thomas (pictured) says the club is well on its way to achieving the goal of playing finals footy in 2016 but they’re  still just taking it one game at a time.
