The undefeated Demons bearing the indigenous name of our city beat North Melbourne at the Docklands for the first time ever in their ninth meeting at the venue. They were by no means dominant against the lowly Kangaroos and it took until the last quarter before they finally shook off their plucky opponents.

Odd spot: The Demons haven’t played North Melbourne at the MCG since April 2018. The victory broke a long time losing streak against the Kangaroos but can you guess who the top goalkickers were for each side that day?

Tom McDonald’s last game for the year … coincided with our fall from premiership favourite to not even getting in the preliminary finals.

For Melbourne - the great Tommy Bugg kicked four goals and for North Melbourne, the great BBB also booted four. I think Brown should forget the haircuts in future and grow his hair back to previous lengths.

Yes was at that game. Garlett, Kemp and Waite kicked 3. Hogan and Cunnington very good.

Like last year at Marvel Roos were hard at it and didn’t break until Q4.

Why is everyone laying into Benny Brown?  He kicked 9 goals in the first 3 rounds of this year.
