With the 2019 season over, we take a look back at each player's year, finishing with list numbers 31-50.

31. Curtis Taylor
2 AFL games, 12 VFL games| Key stats (VFL) - 11.9 disposals, 4 marks, 17 goals 

Taylor showed plenty of promise in his first season in the system, with his electric displays in the VFL showing why North traded up the draft order to secure him. 

He kicked 17.13 in his 12 matches in the VFL, and played 2 games in the AFL. 

An impressive first season suggests Taylor has the potential to be an important player in the years to come. 

32. Mason Wood
18 AFL games, 2 VFL games| Key stats - 13.4 disposals, 3.8 marks, 21 goals 

Wood managed a career-high 18 games and showed flashes of brilliance. He starred in some important wins, kicking 4 and 3 goals in the back-to-back wins over the Bulldogs and Tigers.

Wood played his 50th career game in Round 13.

33. Ed Vickers-Willis
1 AFL game 

Vickers-Willis’ tough luck with injury continued, with the promising defender suffering an ACL rupture in the first quarter of Round 1.

The number 33’s season was subsequently ended and his return date isn’t yet known. 

34. Jamie Macmillan
18 AFL games, 2 VFL games| Key stats -  20.4 disposals, 4.9 marks

An ever-important member of the backline, Macmillan averaged a career-best 20.5 disposals, and recorded the three highest-disposal games of his career.

Macmillan played his 150th career game in Round 11.

35. Declan Watson
14 VFL games| Key stats -  12 disposals, 3 marks

The key defender returned to the VFL after an ACL injury kept him out of the 2018 season. 

Despite glimpses of the potential that saw him drafted with pick 36 in 2016, he was advised he wouldn’t be offered a new contract in 2020.

36. Joel Crocker
18 VFL games| Key stats -  16.7 disposals, 2.9 marks

After barely playing football in 2018 because of a syndesmosis injury, Crocker got some much-needed continuity in his football, playing all 18 games in the VFL.

The first-year defender showed some impressive signs, and found plenty of the footy, collecting 20+ disposals on six occasions. 

Crocker’s strong first season showing will give him a platform to build on for 2020. 

37. Kyron Hayden
1 AFL game, 9 VFL games| Key stats (VFL) -  13 disposals, 6.6 tackles

Hayden worked with Ben Jacobs early in the season to become a run-with player, and his excellent VFL form saw him called up to the AFL for the clash with Collingwood. 

The number 37 started well and laid 5 tackles in the first-half, before he devastatingly ruptured his achilles late in the second-quarter. 

Hayden showed enough promise in 2019 signing a new one year deal. 

38. Tristan Xerri
16 VFL games | Key stats (VFL) -  11.3 disposals, 17.5 hitouts

The towering ruckman continued to develop in the VFL, playing also as a key-forward.

He formed a formidable pairing with Tom Campbell in the ruck, and his strong contested marking ability attracted attention, as did his eye for goal. 

39. Tom McKenzie
1 VFL game

A back injury kept McKenzie out of all games but the final VFL game of the season.

Uncontracted at the end of 2019, it remains to be seen if the speedy defender will remain a Roo.

40. Tom Murphy
10 VFL games | Key stats (VFL) -  13.8 disposals, 3.5 marks

After playing 4 AFL games in his first season, minor injury issues kept Murphy to just 10 AFL games.

The half-back was named as an emergency on a number of occasions, and will be hoping to return to the senior team next season. 

41. Tom Wilkinson
8 VFL games
 

Wilkinson was another rookie to have his season impacted by injury.

The number 40 made a promising start to life at North, winning the pre-season Yo-Yo test.

However, injury kept him to just 8 VFL games, and he opted to step away from football in August to pursue other interests.

42. Tom Campbell
2 AFL games, 17 VFL games | Key stats -  22.5 disposals, 33.2 hitouts

Campbell enjoyed a brilliant first season at North, dominating in the VFL. 

Strong pre-season form saw him play Round 2 and 3 in the AFL, but the quality of Todd Goldstein saw his opportunities limited. 

The ruckman kept the pressure on the selectors and was named an emergency on multiple occasions.

His season has him in line to challenge for the JJ Liston Medal and he is the clear frontrunner for the John Law Medal. 

43. Aaron Hall
6 AFL games, 5 VFL games | Key stats (AFL) -  19.7 disposals, 4.3 inside 50s

After crossing from the Gold Coast, Hall played in the first six games of the AFL season. 

In Round 2, he collected 26 disposals and kicked a brilliant goal, highlighting why the Roos had recruited him.

Hall took the second half of the season away from football to focus on his mental health, but he returned to training in early August. 

44. Cameron Zurhaar
19 AFL games, 1 VFL game | Key stats -  12.4 disposals, 4.1 marks, 26 goals

Zurhaar enjoyed a breakthrough season, and made a name for himself as one of the most exciting young players in the AFL.

After being called up to the AFL in Round 4, the number 44 played in each game until the end of the season, kicking the equal-second most goals for the club (26).

Zurhaar earned the Round 7 Rising Star nomination for a 5-goal performance, while his 11 tackles in the win over Richmond solidified his standing as a new cult hero. 

45. Red Og Murphy
12 VFL games | Key stats - 5.8 disposals

A category-B rookie from Ireland, Murphy played 12 VFL games in his first season. 

Unfortunately, it was to be his last, with the youngster informing the club he will be moving back to Ireland at season's end. 

46. Lachie Hosie
10 VFL games | Key stats - 11.1 disposals, 4.7 marks, 20 goals

Picked up in the Mid-Season Rookie Draft, Hosie showed strong form after crossing from the SANFL. 

The number 46 booted 20 goals in just 10 games, and was named AFL emergency during the season.

Hosie signed a one-year contract extension August. 

50. Ben Brown
22 AFL games | Key stats -  11.1 disposals, 4.9 marks, 64 goals

Brown became just the third North Melbourne player to kick 60+ goals in three consecutive seasons.

The number 50 proved a headache for defenders across the competition, and challenged for the Coleman Medal up until the final round. 

A superb 10-goal haul against Port Adelaide in Round 22 saw him hit the front of the standings, before he was reeled in by Jeremy Cameron. 

Brown was named in the 40-man All Australian squad.
