The Lions will be looking to turn the tables on their last visit to Etihad Stadium back in Round 6, which resulted in a comprehensive defeat at the hands of the high-flying Bombers.
“We want to put on a good show for all our Melbourne-based supporters and hopefully give them something to cheer about,” Rich said.
“We’ve got a great bunch of supporters down there, but the fact is that (North Melbourne) will have more supporters at the ground than us.”
“We’ll just have to control what we can out on the field, and look to use the confidence and momentum we gained from last week’s win.”
“It’s going to be a really good test. We just have to play the way we want to play and restrict them as best we can.”
With the match scheduled for Sunday afternoon, Melbourne-based Lions fans will have an opportunity to watch the team get put through their paces this Saturday morning at Harry Trott Oval (off Lakeside Drive) in St Kilda.
The public training session will commence at 11am and last for approximately 45 minutes.
