North Melbourne and Alastair Clarkson have parted ways after four seasons together, even with one year remaining on his deal.
Clarkson returned to Arden Street ahead of 2023, and coached the club on 82 occasions for 20 wins.
Surprisingly, the Kangaroos rose from consecutive three-win seasons to nine this year, and were closing in on a Wildcard Round slot, but fell short.
Here are 13 names who could be a part of the North Melbourne conversation...
Interestingly, a lot of these names were part of the Carlton and Essendon coaching process.
Hayden Skipworth
Skipworth has pushed for senior roles recently but has remained at Collingwood after getting the nod.
The Pies assistant is highly regarded at the club, taking on many crucial roles including the development of youngsters as well as the midfield group.
