This weekend the Kangaroos take on the toughest challenge in football, a high-flying, undefeated premiership side in the form of the Narrm (Melbourne) Demons.

North put in a far more competitive performance against Port Adelaide in Hobart on the weekend, however this week's opposition look to be a class above the competition at the moment and are swatting aside all those who look to stand in their way.

After taking on the Demons at Casey Fields in pre-season this clash loom as a great litmus test to show the improvement in David Noble's side.

Whether you're making the trip to Marvel or watching from your couch, make sure you're prepared with this week's gameday guide.

Saturday, May 21
North Melbourne v Narrm (Melbourne) Demons, 4.35pm AEST

North Melbourne enters the clash with a point to prove.

Progression and improvement is not linear, but after a string of tough losses the Kangaroos looked to bounce back and against a flying Power side last week. They put together two strong quarters in the middle of the game but will be looking to build on that this weekend.

The Demons will be flying high after a 74-point win over West Coast extended their unbeaten run to 16 games, with their most recent loss coming in Round 19 last year.

They've given the likes of Richmond and Hawthorn chances to defeat them due to some poor goalkicking in recent weeks, and despite smashing the Eagles their accuracy in front of the sticks left something to be desired.

Richmond and Hawthorn have given themselves chances against the ladder-leading side in recent weeks largely thanks to some goalkicking inaccuracy from the Demons, but they're still yet to be knocked off their perch this campaign.
