Drew Petrie

Since debuting in 2001 he has played 300 games for the club. He has played in a variety of roles for the Kangaroos including centre half-forward, defence and ruck. In a game against the Western Bulldogs in 2007 he helped inspire North Melbourne to a win in Glenn Archer's 300th match, kicking seven goals—six of them in the first quarter. His form continued the following week when he kicked another six goals.

Petrie was named as a vice-captain of North Melbourne at the start of the 2009 season and filled-in for the newly appointed captain, Brent Harvey, who missed half the season with an elbow injury. Petrie was North Melbourne's top goal scorer in 2009 with 27 goals and again in 2011 with 48.

After missing most of the 2010 season. In 2011, Petrie was selected in the All-Australian Team on the interchange.

In August 2016, North Melbourne announced they would not renew Petrie's contract for the 2017 season. He was subsequently drafted by the West Coast Eagles in the 2017 rookie draft. Drew Petrie played the final game of his AFL career in the 2017 semi final, where he recorded one goal, seven disposals and five marks in a 67-point loss to Greater Western Sydney.

In 2019 a lack of numbers generally and a lack of tall forwards contributed to the West Coast Eagles requesting Drew, now an assistant coach pulled back on the boots to play for the WAFL side
