Brady Rawlings

Rawlings was selected with North Melbourne’s first pick in the 1998 National Draft and the Kangaroos couldn’t have asked for a better return from the Tasmanian.

Despite not attracting the media attention of some of the more flashy players in the league, Rawlings has become one of North’s most valuable players after constantly shutting down quality opposition mid-fielders whilst still being able to cause damage the other way.

Playing most of his career as a run-with midfielder, Rawlings has won three Syd Barker Medals and will be remembered as one of the club’s all-time greats. Draft history: 1998 National AFL Draft 1st round selection (North Melbourne) No. 15 overall. First game for North Melbourne: Round 2, 1999 v Essendon.

NMFC Cap: 872. Player honours: Best and Fairest 2004, 2006, 2010; 3rd Best and Fairest 2008, 2009; International Rules Series 2004.
