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.

6Harry Sheezel

A major turning point in the Roos rebuild was the addition of Harry Sheezel during the 2022 draft, who out of the gates already became one of, if not, the team's best player. Though he has been given slack about his particular usage of the ball, winning two Syd Barker Medals and tying the disposal record at 54 in a game, all by the age of 21, proves he still has plenty more of his best to come.
