While the use of academy picks could very well shuffle the order, North goes in to this month’s NAB AFL Draft with its earliest pick since 2013.
The Roos hold the 11th selection overall, as well as picks 32, 33 and 80 for November 25’s Draft.
As the countdown continues, NMFC.com.au is taking a look back at the history of each of the key selections on the night.

Pick 32
Like pick 11, the 32nd selection has certainly had its shares of hits and misses throughout the history of the Draft.
From a North perspective, Brad Sholl landed at the club in 1988 and again in 1991 (pick 69), but played just two games before establishing himself with 169 games at Geelong.
Levi Greenwood lined up in the royal blue and white 74 times before departing for the Magpies at the end of 2014.
Perhaps the most famous 32nd selection is Daniel Giansiracusa. The midfielder/small forward played 265 games for the Bulldogs.
Campbell Brown had a terrific career at both the Hawks and Suns, amassing 205 games before his retirement in 2013.
Of the remaining crop, Kurt Tippett is one of the Swans’ best, while Bernie Vince has turned himself into a star since his switch from the Crows to Melbourne.
