Sheezel Reveals Special Connection with Carey’s Son

North Melbourne celebrated its 100th AFL/VFL anniversary on July 3, 2025, with a special event before playing the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium.
The celebration was moved from Round 20 to Round 17 to coincide with the Bulldogs clash and featured recognition of all five premiership-winning teams and club legends.
Harry Sheezel, a key player, met dual premiership captain Wayne Carey and gave Carey’s six-year-old son a signed jumper as the team aimed to bounce back from an 85-point loss to Hawthorn last week.
Coach Alastair Clarkson described the heavy loss as an unusual setback and emphasized the need to improve their approach to contest and clearance, warning that failing to do so would play into the strengths of the opposition.
Despite injury setbacks and a tough recent record against the Bulldogs, North Melbourne looks to rally with youth and support from past players like Denis Pagan, who will give a pre-game address.
