Liam Anthony

Despite being a few years older than most available draftees, Anthony was picked up by North Melbourne in the 2008 AFL National Draft.

After a blistering 2009 pre-season he was named to debut in round one against Melbourne but a stress fracture in his foot putting him out of action for several weeks.

Anthony eventually made his debut in round 13 and racked up 28 possessions. The football world stood up and took notice as Anthony went on to prove he was well worth the punt at the draft table.

Draft history: 2008 NAB AFL Draft 3rd round selection (North Melbourne) No.43 overall.

First game for North Melbourne: Round 13, 2009 v Western Bulldogs.

NMFC Cap: 954.
