North Melbourne: Duursma and McKercher to debut in round 1.

McKercher and Duursma, both 18 years old, joined the team in November after being selected with the club's top picks in the 2023 AFL Draft, numbers 2 and 4 respectively.
McKercher, known for his explosive speed and precise left foot, caught recruiters' attention with his ability to generate scoring opportunities for his teammates. Hailing from Launceston, he played a key role in Tasmania Devils' U18 Boys Coates Talent League, averaging impressive stats of 29 disposals and a goal per game.
