North Melbourne set to unveil new coach within days
The Roos are expected to confirm the 43-year-old after he impressed in interviews and emerged as the panel’s preferred candidate.
- Jaymie Graham is set to be unveiled as North Melbourne coach this week after interviewing exceptionally on Saturday, with the club selecting the 43-year-old as their preferred candidate.
- Following Nathan Buckley's withdrawal from contention, Graham emerged as the final choice, beating out fellow contenders David Hale, Daniel Giansiracusa, and Xavier Clarke for the position.
- With past roles at Fremantle and West Coast, Graham previously pursued senior roles at Essendon and Carlton, earning a glowing endorsement from Ken Hinkley, who said Graham will "absolutely be a senior coach."
- The appointment follows Alastair Clarkson's dismissal one month ago, four years into a five-year contract, as North Melbourne officials believe their young list requires a different coaching voice.
- Despite securing only 20 wins from 81 games under the previous coach, the Kangaroos achieved nine wins from 23 games in 2026, positioning Graham to build on this improvement.
