North Melbourne goes into its first preliminary final in seven years supremely confident, boasting the best record of the teams remaining in contention for the flag, according to coach Brad Scott. But the Roos have some nervousness over an incident involving veteran star Brent Harvey.
"There are five teams left contending for the premiership and we are the only ones who have beaten the other four. And none of them have beaten us, so we go in with supreme confidence, we are still in really good shape," Scott said after North Melbourne withstood a late charge from his twin brother's team to win by six points.
"Geelong had three more scoring shots in the last quarter than us, so it's not as if they absolutely steamrolled us. And we played our best footy for the year so we are going in with good confidence against the really good sides and we are playing our best footy when it matters," Scott said.
"We are not done yet, we are not complacent, we are not just happy to be where we are."
