He made a presentation to North Melbourne’s coaching search panel in Melbourne on Saturday and was to present the club’s board on Monday so that his appointment could be ratified.
The North Melbourne job is the third Graham has vied for this season. He missed out to Josh Fraser for the Carlton senior coaching role and to Mark McVeigh at Essendon, but might eventually consider himself fortunate given the depth of talent – and top-end draft picks – he will have to work with at Arden Street.
His looming appointment comes a month after the cold-blooded sacking of Clarkson, four years into a five-year contract. Although the Kangaroos notched just 20 wins from 81 games under the four-time premiership coach, 2026 was a near-breakthrough campaign, with nine wins from 23 games.
Club president Sonja Hood raised eyebrows in the media conference announcing Clarkson’s sacking by stating North needed a coach for the modern game.
