North Melbourne will be granted two additional draft picks as part of their special assistance compensation from the AFL.
The Age is reporting that the Roos will receive a 2023 second round pick and a 2023 third rounder from the AFL – though these picks both must be traded. The picks seemingly must also be traded for players.
If the picks are not traded this year, they will cease to exist.
The Kangaroos will also receive an additional two slots on their rookie list, to allow them more resources to target young and mature talent.
North Melbourne enters a new era in 2023 under coach Alastair Clarkson.
