NORTH Melbourne great Glenn Archer looks likely to join the Roos' board at the club's annual general meeting on March 18.

Archer told AFL.com.au on Monday he was considering an approach from North to replace former director Mark Brayshaw, who stood down from the board after he was named AFL Coaches Association CEO in December last year. 

"I've been speaking to the club for a while but I've got until the 18th (of March) to make a decision," Archer said.

"I'm just working through a couple of things with the club and we'll see how we go.

"Nothing's set in concrete yet, I'll know probably next week some time."

North preferred not to comment when contacted by AFL.com.au on Monday, but it is understood the club is quietly confident Archer will put himself up for election at the annual general meeting.

Archer played 311 games for North from 1992-2007 and was a key member of the 1996 and 1999 premiership teams, winning the Norm Smith Medal in the 1996 Grand Final. 

A three-time All Australian (1996, 1998, 2002), he won the Robert Rose Award as the competition's most courageous player six times between 1998-2006, an award decided by a vote of his AFL peers.

Archer was also named Shinboner of the Century in 2005 as the player who most personified North's never-say-die ethos.

Since his retirement, Archer has at times been involved at North as a specialist coach and club ambassador. 

The 41-year-old is a director of leading player management company Stride Sports. 

Brayshaw is the brother of North chairman James Brayshaw and played 32 games for the Roos from 1990-92.

He served on North's board for more than seven years and joined the AFLCA as interim CEO last May after Danny Frawley's resignation.
