A prolific ball-winner with eye-catching speed and a sharp left foot, McKercher was taken by North Melbourne with the second overall pick in the 2023 AFL Draft.

The Tasmanian began life in the AFL as a half-back but can impact the game wherever he lines up. He was voted into the AFLPA 22Under22 team in 2024 and picked up a Rising Star nomination in Round 9 in the same year.

In his second season he kicked 12 goals and was more involved up the ground, averaging 23.4 disposals.
