Story summary

Jaymie Graham has been appointed as the new coach of North Melbourne, replacing Alastair Clarkson in a role that was highly contested. The appointment, confirmed by an insider, came swiftly after former player and current assistant coach Nathan Buckley withdrew from consideration for the position. Graham's career includes serving as an assistant at both Fremantle and West Coast, where he played 37 games between 2005-2008 before transitioning to coaching roles. He has already coached three AFL games, including filling in during Justin Longmuir’s illness at Fremantle in the recent season. The announcement was made on the first day of the AFL trade period, with Graham's appointment expected to be ratified by North Melbourne's board following a presentation to their search panel and board meetings held over the weekend.
