After 184 games at Carlton, Jarrad Waite was considered to be in the twilight of his career when he joined North Melbourne at the end of 2014.

He'd fallen out of favour at Carlton, but North clearly saw plenty of upside in the then 31-year-old when he arrived on a two-year deal.

The critics took little time questioning the move. In Round 1 of 2015, Waite had just 10 disposals and went goalless in a big loss against Adelaide.

But a week later, he bounced back in the perfect fashion.

Playing in front of the North home crowd for the first time, on April 12, Waite wound back the clock. 

In a dominant 77-point win, the Roos' number 30 kicked 7 goals, took 12 marks and had 22 disposals in an outstanding display.

In his his second game in the royal blue and white, he polled three Brownlow votes. 

It set the tone for a big year for the former Blue. He finished the season with 42 goals, and was one of the best-on-ground with 4 majors and 16 disposals, in a memorable Elimination Final win against Richmond.

Waite went on to play 60 games and kicked 125 goals at North Melbourne, and that 7-goal haul on April 12, 2015, will go down as one of his best ever performances.

12 years earlier, in 2003, North and Brisbane played out a famous draw.

Locked at 108 points apiece, the Roos' Anthony Stevens kicked a point with barely a minute remaining to give his team what looked a winning lead.

But with barely seconds remaining, Michael Voss gathered possession, and as the siren sounded the ball left his foot.

After a meeting between the umpires, it was decided Voss' kick would count ... but thankfully, he'd missed. The final result, a draw. 

"Draw ... in the most unbelievable circumstances," commentator Anthony Hudson yelled, as players from both sides hit the ground with their heads in their hands.
