Where and when: Blundstone Arena, Saturday August 24, 2.10pm AEST
What it means for North Melbourne: The chance to win double-digit games. That might not seem a significant milestone, but it’s a solid effort after starting the year with a 2-7 record – and would be a good platform for 2020.
What it means for Melbourne: Honestly? Very little at this stage. This season provided major disappointment after major disappointment, and last week’s capitulation against Sydney was another. Maybe the Dees can salvage some pride.
The stat: Melbourne ranks last for scores and goals per inside 50 percentage, one of the stories of its season.
The match-up: Todd Goldstein v Max Gawn
If nothing else excites you about this match, then look out for this ruck contest between All Australians Gawn (No.1 in AFL Player Ratings) and Goldstein (No.6). Few who watched their titanic clash at Blundstone Arena in round three, 2016 will ever forget it.
It’s a big week for: Jordan Lewis
The four-time premiership Hawk’s magnificent playing career comes to an end on Saturday, although it will be in red and blue. Lewis spent the past three seasons playing for the Demons and will be keen to sign off in the right fashion.
Big call: Jake Melksham kicks five goals in a lone hand for Melbourne, but his efforts aren’t nearly enough to haul his side across the line.
Mottsy’s Tip: North by 30

Cunnington being tagged by Viney. Get absolutely f*cked. Melbourne haven’t tagged all year and now they decide to use their captain to stifle Cunnington. Argh.
Maxy giving Goldy a touch up.This was not in my plans!
No goals for Browny, can’t wait for the Cameron show!!!
In what fu*ked up universe does Oliver score 138? Sc score predictions are a touch off.
Lmao, Sam. So true. He’s gone backwards this Q. Miracle if he finishes on 90~.

Wow!!! My opponent had VC on Grundy so he put Gawn on the bench and put Fort on the field………….. DaDumm ….
He forgot to put the E on Gawn!!!!!!!!!
Bahaha! There’s a GF win for ya, CT.
Not yet but that will help. He is the guy who scored the highest points for the round a few weeks back. He must be fuming. I hope he doesnt own a cat.
Lol. Good luck.
Same – wonder if he’s the same opponent – that mistake gives me a chance now
And I had spare trades so traded Gawn to goldy.
Think I’m retiring now with this being my last ever trade.
