North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Melbourne Demons Preview
The Dees will have their sights set on a percentage-boosting win this week against a North Melbourne side they beat up on earlier in the year.
Simon Goodwin’s men plastered the Roos to the rune of a 90-point defeat when they met back in April, and based on their form over the last month, it’s no surprise to find the Dees favoured heavily ahead of Sunday’s rematch.
After trailing by eight at the main break, a spirited second half helped prove some critics wrong last week in a 32-point win over Richmond, largely thanks to some clutch goals from Kozzie Pickett in the final term.
North, on the other hand, went to war with fellow cellar-dwellers West Coast, losing by five in Perth despite the best efforts from Nick Larkey and Harry Sheezel.
Looking ahead, most would expect the Dees to dominate, but given this game is going to be played in cold, and potentially wet conditions in Tassie, this could be a potential trap game for punters.
On the road, Melbourne has had some real issues this year, losing at the Gabba, twice at the Adelaide Oval, in Geelong, and up in Darwin.
The Roos have typically saved their best footy for Marvel, but with a huge clash against Carlton ahead next week, there’s a good chance Melbourne might overlook this game with their minds focused elsewhere.
