    Will Geordie step up? | Devils vs Kangaroos Preview | DEVILS DEN

    After a challenging month with two losses and a draw, the Devils are finally back home at North Hobart Oval! This Saturday, June 6th at 10:05 AM, the boys face their second AFL-aligned opponent of the year in North Melbourne. It’s an early start time due to a massive double-header, with the She Devils kicking off right after at 1:35 PM. Between the frosty morning dew, the skinny pockets of North Hobart, and a high-stakes tactical matchup, this is shaping up to be an absolute "marsupial melee" broadcast live on Fox. In this episode, JD and Fred break down: The Opposition Threat: North Melbourne is fresh off a win over the Gold Coast. We look at their frantic forward-handball system and why we need to watch out for their high-quality rotation players. Player to Watch: Geordie Payne gets the nod against the side that originally took him pick one in the mid-season draft. With Jaxon Artemis gone, it's time for Geordie to unleash his ferocious tackling game off half-back. Lift Up: We give a hair tussle and a pat on the bum to Harry "Haybales" Bayles. We want to see the flying mullet at full speed using his elite foot skills to cause maximum damage. Massive Club News: Reserve seat memberships are finally going on sale June 16th! Plus, earth-moving trucks and major construction officially start on the new stadium next week —will there be a bit of Duggan precast concrete in the footings?
