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.

When you talk about embracing North's Shinboner spirit, there is none better than the record holder for most contested possessions in a game in Cunners. Most of the work he put in across the ground may not have shown up in the stat sheet, but it was definitely noticed and respected by North fans to this day.
