North Melbourne’s final selection in this year’s draft will come at pick 87, which is the second time in the draft’s history the club has held this pick.
In 1999, North recruiters selected Christian Woodley with the sixth-round selection.
Unfortunately, Woodley never managed a senior game for the Roos.
Port Adelaide premiership player and current Richmond senior coach Damien Hardwick was drafted by Essendon with pick 87 in 1994, and went on to play 207 games for both clubs.
While many clubs elect to pass on the pick, there are clubs who view the selection as an opportunity to elevate a rookie to the senior list.
