North Melbourne vs Melbourne Demons Preview
North Melbourne faces Melbourne in a match between two sides coming off close losses. North showed promise despite a 16-point loss to the Bulldogs, with strong performances from Jy Simpkin and Harry Sheezl. Melbourne, though they outmarked the Giants, struggled with pressure and defensive consistency. While the Demons are a top contender, North’s midfield and ability to apply pressure could make this a closer contest than expected. North is well-positioned to cover the line in a competitive game.
