Jack Ziebell

Ziebell was North Melbourne’s first round draft selection at the 2008 National Draft, after surprisingly slipping through to pick nine.

A 188cm midfielder, he has excellent skills by foot and is tough in the contest. He has strong leadership skills, and is expected to be a future leader of the North Melbourne Football Club.

Hailing from the Murray Bushrangers, Ziebell was prolific in his team’s TAC Cup premiership and also represented Victoria Country at the NAB Under 18 AFL Championships and gained All-Australian honours.

His progress at AFL level was halted with two broken legs; one in 2009 and the other in 2010.

Draft history: 2008 NAB AFL Draft 1st round selection (North Melbourne) No. 9 overall.

First game for North Melbourne: Round 1, 2009 v Melbourne.

NMFC Cap: 948. Player honours: NAB Rising Star nominee 2009.
