North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Melbourne Demons Preview
Top plays bottom on Saturday afternoon when reigning premiers Melbourne head to Marvel to face wooden spoon favourites North.
The Dees cruised to their 16th straight win last week against West Coast in Perth, while the Roos were on the receiving end of another 60+ point belting at the hands of Port Adelaide.
North is set to receive a boost with Jy Simpkin returning to the side, but his inclusion alone won’t be enough to see the Shinboners over the line.
The Roos are out of sorts on and off the field, and one look at the stats paints a grim picture against the benchmark team of the competition.
North ranks bottom in just about every major category, and you only have to take a look at the last time these two sides met to get a feel for this one.
Melbourne walked away comfortable 40-point winners this time last year, making the Dees at the line the only worthwhile play.
