North Melbourne has named Fremantle assistant coach Jaymie Graham as the new coach for the AFL side.

A statement from club president Sonja Hood on Tuesday said Graham was the new senior coach, succeeding four-time premiership coach Alastair Clarkson, who was sacked by the Kangaroos earlier this year.

The Kangaroos finished the 2026 season — Clarkson's fourth season in charge — in 14th spot with nine wins.
