Veteran North Melbourne midfielder Nick Dal Santo could finish the season without knowing if he will be offered a contract for 2017.

Speaking on RSN radio on Tuesday, Dal Santo said he wants to play on next season, but is yet to be told if he is a required player at the club beyond 2016.

"Absolutely, I want to play next year," Dal Santoย said.

"I understand the club's position as well, and we are in a unique situation where there's a lot of us over that dangerous age of 30, but by saying that I feel like if you're playing good footy and you give them good evidence, you're a good shot to play."

The 32-year-old admitted it would be nice to know one way or another prior to playing the final game of the year whether he will be at the Kangaroos next season.

โ€œItโ€™s not about a farewell game or anything like that, but even with family and friends it would be nice for them to come and say, โ€˜That was Nickโ€™s last gameโ€™,โ€ he said.

โ€œBrent Harvey is in a similar situation.

โ€œPotentially we could walk off the ground not knowing (if itโ€™s our last game).โ€

Dal Santo has played all but one game this season, averaging 24.6 disposals, 3.8 marks and 3.5 tackles per game.
