Colby McKercher

The early clubhouse leader of North Melbourne’s 2023 crop, this kid already looks like a future superstar. McKercher has bucketloads of pace, skill and tenacity, and it was all on show in his debut season. Playing mainly in defence, he averaged 24 disposals, five rebound-50s and 414 metres gained. His four-bounce run down the wing against Gold Coast to set up a Nick Larkey goal was one of the highlights of the year.

Honours

North Melbourne - Best Young Player (2024), 22Under22 Team (2024).
