Nelly October 21, 2024

In an exciting development for North Melbourne fans, young star Harry Sheezel has shared his enthusiasm for the possibility of veteran forward Jack Darling joining the Kangaroos. The 32-year-old, who has spent his entire career with West Coast, has expressed a desire to play alongside Sheezel as he approaches the final year of his lucrative contract at Arden Street.

Darling’s extensive experience, with 298 games under his belt, would provide invaluable mentorship to North Melbourne’s youthful roster. Sheezel believes that Darling still has much to contribute at the AFL level. “Hopefully we can get that deal done,” Sheezel remarked during an appearance on SEN’s Dwayne’s World. He mentioned that Darling recently visited the club for a medical check and that several teammates had the chance to catch up with him. “It would be great to have Jack not only for his experience but also for his skillset,” he added. “He’s genuinely excited about moving to Melbourne and rejuvenating his career.”

In the 2024 season, Darling averaged around ten disposals and a goal per game across his 21 matches, indicating that he is still capable of making a significant impact on the field. Sheezel is hopeful that Darling can continue to add to his impressive legacy by playing more games for the Kangaroos.

As the club looks to bolster its roster for the upcoming season, the potential addition of Darling has sparked optimism among fans and players alike. With the right moves, North Melbourne could see a revitalization as they strive for a stronger performance in the league.
