New Captain [PLAYERCARD]Nick Larkey[/PLAYERCARD] will begin this new concept designed to improve interactions with game day officials.

North Melbourne have long been the innovators of the AFL.

[PLAYERCARD]Nick Larkey[/PLAYERCARD] has backed the introduction especially for a new Captain. Larkey also suggested he needed to get into the gym so the armband didn't slide down off his arm.
