Tom North is a midfielder from Mitcham, Melbourne.
The 18-year-old is smart around the clearances, wins his own ball and can be damaging on the outside with his penetrating left foot.
Despite a delayed start to the 2017 season, North still averaged 23.9 disposals, 5.5 clearances and 3.9 tackles per game.
A 43-disposal, 12-clearance and three-goal game against Bendigo in round seven was one of North's best performances for the year.
North represented Vic Metro twice in 2017 where he had 20 disposals, five clearances and five tackles against the Allies.
His solid year was rewarded by finishing third place in the Eastern Ranges Best & Fairest.
