North Melbourne

Charlie Comben

It would be easy to say a raft of high-end draft picks at the Kangaroos but Charlie Comben is an interesting one.

Comben has battled both injury and form since joining the club ahead of the 2020 season but last year he showed he is more than capable of playing at the elite level.

After a failed attempt as a forward, Alastair Clarkson threw the 23-year-old down back and it worked.

Comben utilised his aerial prowess and 199cm frame to good use, plucking the opposition's kick and hinting at what North Melbourne's future might look like.
