North Melbourne vs Melbourne Demons Preview
North Melbourne takes on Melbourne in a clash between two teams looking to bounce back from narrow defeats. Despite falling short by 16 points against the Bulldogs, North showed encouraging signs, led by standout performances from Jy Simpkin and Harry Sheezl. Meanwhile, Melbourne dominated the marking battle against the Giants but struggled under pressure and lacked defensive consistency. While the Demons remain a strong contender, North’s midfield pressure could make this a tighter contest than anticipated, positioning them well to cover the line in what promises to be a competitive matchup.
