NORTH Melbourne and Geelong will step up their pre-season campaigns with a series of competitive match simulation training sessions against each other, starting tomorrow.

The Herald Sun can reveal the coaches of the clubs, twins Brad (North) and Chris (Geelong) Scott, have joined forces to schedule a series of sessions at the Cats' home ground, Simonds Stadium.

In a closely guarded arrangement, the Roos and Cats plan to train together behind locked gates in Geelong every Friday morning for the next month.

what a great initiative.....you'd have to think it'd benefit North more though

[Ziplock]

yeah, solid effort.

Geelong Football manager Neil Balme was adamant the work-outs were not practice matches, which would be against AFL rules.

I wonder where the line is between this and practice matches. They have hired AFL umpires

[Ziplock]

maybe they're playing half-courtfield

[roo boys!]

Good initiative, I like it. Maybe they might not be scoring or doing something similar to make sure they are not practice matches. Who knows.
