Bio: A dynamic and skilful midfielder, Daniel Wells was selected with pick two in the 2002 National Draft.

From the outset, he had a huge weight of expectation on his shoulders and since his debut in 2003, he has played a significant role in the midfield for the Kangaroos.

With an ability to turn a match with sublime kicking, silky skills and line-breaking, Wells was second in the best and fairest in 2006 and was selected to represent Australia in the International Rules Series in 2003 and 2008.

While he has been hampered with injuries in the past, Wells had one of his most consistent seasons yet in 2010 and finished in the top echelon of the Syd Barker Medal.

Still only 25, he will celebrate his 150th AFL game in round one of 2011 and should have many years of quality football left in him.

Bio: Traded to North in return for Wayne Schwass at the start of 1998, Shannon Grant had an immediate impact playing 25 games in his first season.

He was part of the losing Grand Final side of 1998, but helped his team taste the ultimate success the following year as a Norm Smith Medalist.

Grant was a terrific ball-winner and damaging on the scoreboard. In 2001 he won North Melbourne's best and fairest, averaging nearly 24 possessions a game and polled 14 Brownlow Medal votes.

The number 6 had the rare knack of bobbing up to kick match winning goals late in games.

Consistency was a great asset for Grant and perhaps most strongly highlighted as he finished runner-up in the Syd Barker Medal in 2003, 2004 and 2005.

He was an All-Australian in 2005 and played 243 games at North Melbourne, booting 323 goals.
