In what should be a one-sided affair, Melbourne should make it four wins from their past five encounters against North Melbourne.
The Kangaroos have struggled in the last month after a positive opening fortnight that yielded two victories.
The Demons haven't reached their full potential as key personnel have been in and out of the team.
However, Simon Goodwin's men do sit third on the ladder and will be licking their lips at Saturday night's contest in hope they can add some percentage.
