The North Melbourne Kangaroos are in a period of transition on and off the field.
After topping up their list looking for an elusive AFL Premiership win earlier in the decade, the Roos were forced to face the reality that comes with an ageing squad no longer capable of playing finals football and began their rebuild.
North Melbourne improved in 2023 but it was clear that they weren’t good enough to challenge most of the competition for four quarters and it was much the same in 2024.
The Roos young talent will continue to find their feet at the top level; however, they seem to be a long way off contending for a premiership at the moment.
