The Kangaroos have transferred an intra-club practice match from its training base at Arden Street to the Eureka Stadium.

North Melbourne made the switch yesterday in response to feedback from its coaching panel and players after Wednesday night's practice match at the venue.

Unlike this week's twilight timeslot, the game will played within the Kangaroos' normal training program at 1pm.

North Melbourne media and communications manager Heath O'Loughlin told The Courier that the Eureka Stadium's superior playing surface and the size of the arena had persuaded the Kangaroos to make the change.

He said Arden Street was too narrow and the Kangaroos were reluctant play on grounds with turf cricket wickets.

The redevelopment of the Eureka Stadium surface last year removed a turf cricket wicket to meet AFL standards.

With the second intra-club practice match being North Melbourne's last work out under match conditions before meeting Geelong in the opening round of the NAB Cup on Sunday, February 21, it wants the best possible conditions

available.

O'Loughlin said with the dimensions of the North Ballarat ground close to the MCG, it was ideal.

North Melbourne chief of football Donald McDonald reinforced the reasons for the move.

He said the narrowness of Arden Street would impact on style of play and fluency of the game.

"We need our players to be able to prepare in the best way possible and this is the best outcome for us." McDonald said.

McDonald said cricket pitch posed a bit of a risk to players.

"It's a hardened surface out in the middle and we try and keep off it as much as possible during training, but with an actual match, there's no avoiding it," he said.

North Melbourne's AFL community camp in Ballarat enters its third and last day today.

Still buoyed a crowd estimated at 2500-plus at its intra-club practice match on Wednesday night, the Kangaroos players took clinics at schools across the region and led a super clinic at Eureka Stadium yesterday.

Players and coaching staff also led youth development and coaching seminars last night.

VCFL south west area manager Brett Anderson, who is co-ordinating the camp, said the super clinic had continued to success of the camp.

He said clinic had attracted a significantly bigger number of children, with more than 150 in attendance with their families
