AFL Round 17 North Melbourne v Western Bulldogs: Scores, news and analysis from Kanagroos' centenary game
North Melbourne young gun Harry Sheezel believes the presence of legends including dual premiership captain Wayne Carey at the club's Centenary celebrations on Thursday night can boost the current-day Kangaroos in their quest to upset the Western Bulldogs. Sheezel met up with Carey this week as he presented the 1996 and 1999 premiership captain's six-year-old son Carter with a signed North Melbourne jumper. Sheezel is Carter's favourite player. Carey, who is considered the club's greatest player, and his son are set to be a part of a special on-field celebration of the Kangaroos' 100 years as part of the VFL-AFL competition before the clash with the Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium. Club legends and key figures from North Melbourne's history will be honoured during the night, including members from the club's five premiership-winning teams (1975, 1977, 1996, 1999 and the 2024 AFLW side). 'There is a real buzz around the club at the moment,' Sheezel told the Herald Sun. 'It was great to see 'the Duck' (Carey) and his son Carter, who is a keen Kangas fan. 'He (Carey) goes to the same osteo as me and I've run into him a few times out the front. 'It's pretty cool. 'The Duck' has mentioned to me a few times (how Sheezel is Carter's favourite player). Little Carter had about eight footy cards for me to sign and I presented him with a No.3 jumper as well.' Fans are encouraged to arrive early on and be seated by 6.45pm on Thursday night for the pre-game ceremony, which will include the Kangaroos 300-plus game players Brent Harvey, Todd Goldstein, Drew Petrie, Glenn Archer, Adam Simpson and Wayne Schimmelbusch, as well as Brownlow medallists Malcolm Blight, Keith Greig, Noel Teasdale and Ross Glendinning. All members have access to the club's Centenary game, with access consistent with all other Marvel Stadium home games. General public tickets are available at Ticketmaster. Sheezel said the 2025 side desperately wanted to make amends for last week's thrashing at the hands of Hawthorn with the aim of helping drive the club bounce up the ladder again. 'The club has done a great job of making sure the young draftees know the history of our club. We've won four flags and we are right across that,' he said. 'We know the challenges the club has been through across the generations and we know how the fans have always stayed loyal. 'You feel that every day and that's why everyone wants to stick around this great club and take it back to where it belongs.' North Melbourne's last premiership coach Denis Pagan will give the current side a pre-game rev-up after being asked to do so by current coach Alastair Clarkson. 'I'm looking forward to the rev up, I've heard Denis has made a few of them,' Sheezel said. 'This is a great opportunity on the big stage and hopefully we can feed off the energy of the fans and the past players. 'I have no doubt we will bring that pressure and give it a good crack against the Dogs.' Round 17, vs Western Bulldogs, Marvel Stadium, 7.30pm
