Will ‘Roo Boys’ earn the answers?

North Melbourne fans will display their ‘Shinboner spirit’ on TAB’s $4.20 AFL/Greys offer on Saturday night.

They’ll ‘join in the chorus’ on TAB’s cross-sports proposition for the Kangaroos to lose by 18pts or less – or even win – against the Sydney Swans and Earn The Answers winning at Sandown Park.

The ‘Roo Boys’ are 18th on the AFL ladder with four wins and one draw from 20 matches while the ‘Bloods’ are sixth with 13 wins.

Last week, the Swans were marched home by the Saints to the tune of 29pts while the Kangaroos received a 33pts clawing from the Tigers.

Meanwhile, the Lyn Smith-trained Earn The Answers – a three-time Group finalist – has won 11 races from 35 starts. He’s TAB’s $2.00 favourite to claim the Sale to Sandown Series final (515m).

The Kangaroos v Swans clash at Marvel Stadium commences at 7.40pm, while Earn The Answers is in Race 9 Box 4 at 9.20pm.

WATCH: Earn The Answers (8) has all the answers, clocking a sizzling 29.10sec (Best) win at Sale last week.
