Former North Melbourne skipper Jack Ziebell will attempt to remodel himself as a defender under new coach Alastair Clarkson this season.
Ziebell enters the new campaign free of captaincy duties for the first time in six years, having handed over to Jy Simpkin and Luke McDonald last month.
It has allowed the 31-year-old veteran to focus on honing his craft in a new-look back-line, where he will line-up alongside boom recruit Griffin Logue.
