When it comes to winning streaks, they come no bigger for North Melbourne than against Melbourne.
The Roos will have the chance to extend their current record against the Demons, which stands at 14 wins in a row, this weekend.
The sides clash at Blundstone Arena; a venue Melbourne has never played at, and where North has won seven of its nine games in total, and its last six on the trot.
The tally sits just two below its all-time mark of 16 set between 1976 and 1984.
The win that started the current blitz occurred in Round 9, 2007 with the Roos pipping the Dees at the post by a solitary point at the MCG.
Shannon Grant booted five goals during the encounter while Adam Simpson notched up a team-high 27 disposals. For Melbourne, David Neitz was strong with four goals and Cameron Bruce collected 35 touches.
Melbourne last defeated North in Round 20, 2006 – almost a decade ago.
