As a 22-year-old, I've spent 15 years supporting North Melbourne. I've seen some great players don the blue and white stripes since starting my spectating journey as a seven-year-old.

In that time, there's been some years where the Roos were competitive, and some years where we we were not so competitive!

But where would I rank these players if I had to limit them down to only 10? Who has stood out as the club's best while at the same time embracing the Shinboner spirit?

Here's what I decided based on when I witnessed them play, not how they performed throughout their career.

North's current captain and one of the most exciting forwards in the game, "Souv" Larkey has served as a one-man wrecking crew for a forward line in need of consistency during rebuilding years. Leading the club's goal-kicking for the last six years, the reincarnation of Drew Petrie at this point deserves his flowers.
