It has been reported that Crocker is one of North's final three candidates for the job, with Hawthorn assistant Damien Hardwick and Collingwood's Brad Scott the others.
Crocker said he focused on the Kangaroos' immediate future when presenting his case to the North hierarchy and was pleased with how he went.
"I obviously went through the process yesterday and I'm glad that's out of the way because I've now got a game of football to coach, against West Coast tomorrow," he said from Perth on Friday.
"I always looked at the opportunity to coach this team at the senior level as a great development opportunity for myself and where it took me it takes me.
"I will just continue to do what I have to do to get this group up and about and playing some good competitive football."
With Hardwick widely regarded as the front-runner for the North job, Crocker said he hadn't even considered his football future beyond the Roos' last three games.
"It's always been what I've got to offer this football club and this playing group and what anyone else has to offer hasn't really entered my mind really," he said.
"Obviously having done a fairly lengthy apprenticeship I'm aware of what the role took in, so I've just really enjoyed it and I've got another three weeks to go in the chair and we'll see where it takes me from there.
"No matter what happens in the future, I just know that I'm going to be a hell of a lot better for this experience."
Crocker said North Melbourne boasted an exciting young list and denied taking over a side with just four wins and a raft of injuries was "a raw deal".
He singled out Liam Anthony, Andrew Swallow, Levi Greenwood, Scott Thompson, Nathan Grima and Todd Goldstein as examples of why the club's next coach should be optimistic.
Jack Ziebell (leg) and Ben Warren (leg) also had an impact before season-ending injuries.
"I think it's going to be exciting for whoever takes over this playing group," Crocker said.
"There's only 16 senior coaches at any one time (and) fortunately for myself I'm one of those 16 and have been for the last seven weeks. It's a great opportunity and that's the way I've seen it all the way through."
Crocker said he watched West Coast's thrilling five-point win over the Western Bulldogs last week and was impressed.
He said his players were up and about after their 62-point win over Melbourne – Crocker's first in charge – but would need to pressure the Eagles' young runners.
"They ran the ball very well; some of their young players, they're very hard runners," the coach said.
"They worked the ball from defence into their forward line with some real speed, (so) from our perspective going to have to put them under a lot of pressure."
