North Melbourne Blueprint: Jarrad Waite adds to Kangaroos" big forward line Jarrad Waite, traded from Carlton to North Melbourne, will bolster the Kangaroos" forward line. NORTH Melbourne is about to take a leaf from Hawthorn and Sydney's playbook. For some, the Kangaroos" move to secure Carlton free agent Jarrad Waite was a surprise, considering it already had Drew Petrie, Aaron Black, Ben Brown, Robbie Tarrant and 21-year-old Mason Wood for the forward line. Brown (knee), Black (shoulder) and Petrie (ankle) have all had minor post-season surgery, but Waite was not brought over as back-up. List manager Cameron Joyce confirmed North would strongly consider loading up the forward 50 next season. "Jarrad in his own right played 16 games this year and was fourth in the competition on average for contested marks," he said. Jarrad will also be able to have some support around him like Drew, Ben Brown and Blacky, so we think it becomes really potent. Jarrad Waite took the fourth-highest number of contested marks in 2014 at Carlton. You look at some of the Grand Final teams like Hawthorn and Sydney, a lot of them are playing four key forwards at any particular time. We think there is an option for us to do that as well. The Roos will gun for a flag in the next two seasons, led by veterans Brent Harvey, 36, Petrie, 32, Nick Dal Santo, 32, and Daniel Wells, 29. The loss of Levi Greenwood was a blow to the flag tilt. Joyce described the on-baller's departure to Collingwood as "disappointing" but said North welcomed the "class by foot and sideways movement" recruit Shaun Higgins would bring. Perhaps the most intriguing question is what happens after the veterans finish. Joyce said the Roos had kept their first three picks for nine drafts in a row to ensure the team did not fall away. "We've certainly still got plenty of work to do,"" he said. But we are trying to build the list so that certainly we don't fade away and that we have got enough talent and enough guys under 25 years of age to hold the team up. Up the Roos" sleeve are Trent Dumont, 19, and Taylor Garner, 20, and picks No. 16, No. 25 and No. 36 in tomorrow night's draft. Trent Dumont had an awesome season in the VFL in 2014 and will be hoping to play senior footy in 2015. Joyce said Garner, who has played two games amid a series of hamstring injuries, Dumont and Wood "should be pushing for Round 1 selection." Dumont will defend charges of aggravated robbery in court in February after an ­incident with a taxi driver in Adelaide. Joyce said Dumont had a "fantastic season" in the VFL. "He is just a quality young man and we think he has a ­really bright future," he said. We certainly see him being able to play inside the square in the midfield but also forward, and Mason is the other one who came in and kicked three goals on debut against ­Melbourne. He has got really good flexibility, he has a big motor and he certainly can get up and play on a wing. Who should the Kangaroos select with their opening draft picks? Have your say below ...
