Live AFL 2025, Melbourne Demons vs North Melbourne Kangaroos, Round 18
Melbourne are out to inflict revenge on an injury-riddled North Melbourne outfit on Sunday afternoon, after their 59-point thumping back in Round 2.
The Demons (5-11, 86.7 per cent) have lost their last five matches, and are desperate to break a streak not entirely indicative of how they’ve played their football of late.
Up against them are the Kangaroos (4-1-11, 77.3 per cent), who can finish the round in as high as 14th on the ladder — and subsequently jump Melbourne with a win.
