2. Paddy Dow

The out-of-favour Blue has been attracting attention from rival clubs, in particular St Kilda in recent times, making it a great option for the Kangaroos to steal.

The 23-year-old just hasn't been find the same level of selection consistency and has been in and out of Carlton's senior side, but Dow will almost a guarantee to minutes in the Kangaroos' ensemble, especially after retirements to Jack Ziebell, Aaron Hall, and Ben Cunnington.

Over his career, Dow has averaged 13.6 disposals, 2.5 tackles and 2.6 clearances per game, with this season being his best clearance-wise with 3.3 per game and could provide the desperate assistance in the midfield that North Melbourne require.

Whilst he has only kicked 21 goals over his career, two years of kicking seven goals (2018 and 2019) makes him a dangerous option for North if he makes a break forward and becomes within range.
