COMING off a season ruined by injury, veteran midfielder Daniel Wells was a welcome sight at Arden Street as North Melbourne's full 2016 squad hit the track for the first time this pre-season.
Rookie-listed ruckman Majak Daw also took park in running drills as the Kangas' new draftees and rookies joined their more seasoned counterparts for the first time this pre-season.
Several players only arrived back in Australia from the club's Utah training camp on Monday but there was little respite amid the prospect of jetlag.
With the goal of going at least one step further than the losing preliminary finals of the past two seasons, the Kangaroos have little time to waste.
