It was a rare opportunity and one the North Melbourne leaders didn’t pass up; a chance to sit around the board room table and talk with number one ticket holder and cricket champion Ricky Ponting.

Daniel Wells, Michael Firrito, Scott Thompson, Jamie Macmillan, Drew Petrie, Jack Ziebell and Brent Harvey all cherished the chance to question ‘Punter’ about his time in cricket and captaincy handover.
