The Roos have now lost 33 straight games, stretching back to round 16, 2015.
But the club has stronger form than North Albury.
The Roos fell by 67 points to top three contender Lavington last week after a 41-point loss to Wangaratta Rovers.
North suffered a 122-point hiding against Yarrawonga following a 137-point demolition against Albury.
The home side has a distinct advantage in firepower with one-time SANFL player James Lawton and exciting teenager Will Robinson up forward.
The Hoppers will rely heavily on co-coach Daniel Leslie, wherever he plays, while Ben Lloyd has been superb after moving from Thurgoona.
North has just the two wins and, while it’s naturally a big moment for the Roos, it’s just as important that the Hoppers win, for their own reputation.
No team wants to be remembered as the outfit which played a role in halting a long losing streak.
