Season previews: North Melbourne (17th)
Last season: 17th (3 wins, 20 losses, 71.5%) Notable ins: Colby McKercher (no. 2 draft pick), Zane Duursma (no. 4 draft pick), Zac Fisher (Carlton) Notable outs: Ben McKay (Essendon), Todd Goldstein (Essendon), Jack Ziebell (retired)
Similarly to fellow cellar dweller, West Coast, predictions of an improved North Melbourne are not matched by an expectation of a rise up the ladder. For a club that has failed to win more than four games in any of the past four seasons, there is a feeling that North Melbourne's attempted return to relevance is only now beginning after a series of false starts. It was reported in 2019 that when then coach Brad Scott suggested to the board the playing list was mediocre and in need of a rebuild, he was told they had already started rebuilding three years earlier and could not afford to do so again (referring to the year they moved on Nick Dal Santo, Brent Harvey and Drew Petrie among others). So Scott left and was replaced by Rhyce Shaw who coached only two seasons, who was succeeded by David Noble who coached even less than that, following which "the great white hope" Alastair Clarkson arrived and coached just nine games before needing extended personal leave. Exhausted? Spare a thought for someone like Curtis Taylor who has played for six senior coaches in five years on the list.
Clarkson eventually returned for four dead-rubber clashes at the end of 2023 but is finally enjoying clear air and a full pre-season with his young list and without the spectre of the Hawthorn racism scandal looming - at least for now. The coach would be looking at the talent North Melbourne have amassed in the last two national drafts and daring to dream... Could Harry Sheezel, George Wardlaw, McKercher and Duursma one day be looked back on as being as signficant a haul as Lance Franklin, Jarryd Roughead and Jordan Lewis were at the Hawks in 2005? Perhaps so but it has not all been blue skies overhead at Arden Street, given at the time of this writing Tarryn Thomas has been suspended for 18 matches by the AFL for abuse toward women and his contract finally torn up by the club. Thomas was a distraction the club could ill afford and a toxic presence it is better off without, despite desperately needing players of his considerable talent.
A side with so much youth needs leaders along every line to drive the standards off the field and provide direction on the field. The exits of Goldstein, Ziebell and Ben Cunnington will leave a leadership vacuum at North Melbourne even if their best football was clearly behind them and it remains a concern as to who will step up to fill it. Jy Simpkin, a co-captain, is one who has demonstrated loyalty to the club and resilience by managing 18 games in 2023 despite injuries. Nick Larkey, Luke Davies-Uniacke and Cam Zurhaar possess all the talent and have now moved into an age and experience profile where they should start to throw others on to their back and win the occasional game. It was a surprise to see Luke McDonald tapped to go around again as a co-captain given his lack of awareness, limited skill and a question mark on whether he would be in any other club's best 22.
The plan at North Melbourne for 2024 would be fairly simple: get games into their young guns, become harder to play and score against and put a stop to the blowout losses (despite being more competitive last year than in 2022, they still suffered seven 40-plus point defeats). It should not be beyond them to double the number of wins from three to six and demonstrate to their fans and the wider football world that after backfiring and stalling out a few times, the car is finally moving forward.
Déjà vu in the bottom four continues, next up is Hawthorn…

Bread and circuses for the bored and purposeless
You might not believe in Good Friday. The AFL certainly does not. Just don't expect the day to remain a public holiday if the only meaning that can be derived from it is a game of footy...
‘There’s not much else to do Good Friday’. These words come from the philosopher extraordinaire, Jack Ziebell, who otherwise passes his time as the captain of the North Melbourne footy club. He was urging people to get down to the temple of bread and circuses and worship whatever out of pure boredom and idle curiosity this Friday. Apparently the nation has the day off but no one is quite sure…

North Melbourne appoints Jack Ziebell captain for 2022 AFL season MELBOURNE, FEBRUARY 11, 2022: Jack Ziebell pictured during North Melbourne Football Club training at Arden Street. Picture: Mark Stewart
The Kangaroos have appointed a familiar face to their captaincy as they look to improve on their last-placed finish under David Noble this season. North Melbourne has appointed Jack Ziebell to the captaincy for a sixth consecutive season and also topped its leadership group up with two fresh faces. Despite playing just two games in an injury-riddled first season at Arden Street, Aidan Corr has…

AFL: Kangaroos' Fantasy: The must-have rookie, beware this veteran
AFL: Kangaroos’ Fantasy: The must-have rookie, beware this veteran
ONE BONUS of finishing on the bottom of the AFL ladder is the fact you become the first cab off the rank for this year AFL Fantasy price reveals. Although North Melbourne did finish last on the ladder, in terms for Fantasy, there certainly were some success stories. Captain Jack Ziebell (DEF, $839,000) is only one of three defenders available this year who averaged 100+ thanks to a lightning…

Jy Simpkin for 2024!
Jy Simpkin has signed on until 2024!
Sounds good to us!
Simpkin was drafted in 2016 and debuted in 2017 during the North Melbourne vs West Coast game at Etihad Stadium. He then went on to come second to the Syd Barker award in 2020 but then won in 2021. Along with the 2021 Syd Barker award, he also won the 2021 North Melbourne Best and Fairest beating Ben Cunnington and current captain Jack Ziebell.

Simpkin has been a great asset to our club since his debut and we look forwards to seeing his passion and skill grow within our organisation. During all his speeches on social media, podcasts and the official speech, Simpkin was quick to thank all those who have helped him and assisted him to becoming better. He was grateful for all those who have played a part in his career including David Noble, Jack Ziebell and even stated that Ben Cunnington 'helped [him] so much in the last few years to get [him to where he is today]. He’s an awesome fella’ (North Melbourne, 2021, para. 9).

The Video posted by the North Melbourne Football Club on Facebook goes into the rooms with captain Jack Ziebel as he presents debutant Flynn with his jumper. The video posted by the club allows fans to leave comments showing their support for Flynn or the club in their game. Fans could also choose to like or share the content if they chose to.
The reason this is engaging to fans is the video takes them into the rooms and the huddle of the playing group. Engagement creates trust which then leads to advocacy, If more fans care engaged they are more likely to create a positive brand name for the club and invest their time.
This video in particular is a very strong post as it goes beyond what fans can see at the game and into the room. This invites more fans to share their content and engage with the video by leaving a like.
