The Demons acquitted themselves well but only after a slow start forced them to play catch up football for most of the game and gave the Kangaroos the upper hand.

Thread title could easily be "The Last Million Times They Met vs North Melbourne". They have owned us for a very long time, even when they weren't a top 8 side.

I want to win this as much as any game this year. Essendon and North Melbourne are my two most disliked teams for whatever reason, and the Essendon ship has well and truly sailed.

They are expert at jumping us then holding us at arms length for the remainder of the game. be nice to get an early jump and keep them under pressure. Which Melbourne will rock up?

I think this is the first time we've played in Tassy as well!

was probably the most promising 2 quarters of the year:  we looked electric for 2nd and 3rd Qs.

hopefully north go into this game with the same crappy attitude we had last week

Is there any chance we could jump a team this year? Feels like 5 years or more since we did

Crows in 2014?

When did we last best these guys?
