Emma Kearney, the only player to feature in every AFLW All-Australian team, says a second premiership at North Melbourne would be even sweeter than her first.
The Kangaroos upended the narrative around this finals series when they mauled reigning premiers Melbourne on Sunday in the qualifying final, restricting the Demons to their second-lowest score.
North have been a step below the league's Big Three - Melbourne, Adelaide and the Brisbane Lions - but Sunday's 100 tackles and the commanding 41-point win have put the Kangaroos firmly in premiership contention.
