The prediction
North Melbourne begin Round 19 sitting outside of the top ten and the playoff places in the AFL. They most recently succumbed to a slender four-point loss to Collingwood, following on from a defeat to Port Adelaide the week before.
They now face a Melbourne side that hammered a poor Richmond side in their most recent outing as they sit tucked inside the top six and set to secure a top ten and a playoff berth. They have now won four of their last five matches.
Melbourne have won 11 of their 17 matches with six defeats and they will be expected to come out on top in this derby at Marvel.
North Melbourne vs Melbourne tip: Melbourne to win
