Ben Speight represented South Australia at the under-18 championships and upon joining North Melbourne as a rookie in 2008, already boasted some senior experience at Norwood.

Promoted to the senior list for the 2011 season, Speight's dash through the midfield and half-forward line provides North with another attacking option.

Speight was labelled the ‘super sub’ after his performance in the last quarter of the round 17 match where he stopped the building momentum of the Bulldogs. However it was his impressive tackle on Jarrad Grant which put Speight back in the rehab group with another shoulder injury.

With a strong pre-season under his belt he will be ready to cement his spot in 2012.

Draft history: 2008 rookie draft (selection 40)
First game for North Melbourne: Round 17, 2010 v Essendon
