Kade Simpson says the Blues must focus on winning games and not rely on other teams losing. 

"We just have to continue winning. It we continue winning we should make the finals." 

"Every game from here on in is a big one."

Dismissing any suggestion that Etihad Stadium hasn't been good to the Blues, Simpson believes the ground suits the side. 

"We've played some really good football there this year. We pushed Hawthorn and Geelong - and we've obviously had a few wins there as well. I'm happy to be playing there at the moment."

Focusing on Friday night's match against North Melbourne, the Blues midfielder says the boys are looking forward to a good contest.

"Both team have had a couple of close losses throughout the year. So I know that they are going to want to bounce back. We are really looking forward to it."

"Every week is going to be huge. It's going to be a great game on the Friday night stage. We're really looking forward to it."
