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.

Jaymie Graham

The Fremantle assistant has been around the mark on multiple occasions, and was shortlisted in the recent Carlton and Essendon coaching processes.

Graham has carved out an impressive coaching resume, spending time at the Eagles under Adam Simpson, before crossing to the arch rivals ahead of the 2022 season.

He has looked after the forward group, which has quickly become a point of difference for the Dockers in the competition.

Graham has coached his own sides in the WAFL, and has experienced multiple AFL clubs and different environments.

Graham played 37 games for West Coast between 2005 and 2008.
