New North Melbourne captain Nick Larkey drops truth bomb on club’s very slow rebuild

Freshly minted captain Nick Larkey has dropped a brutal truth bomb on his embattled club, North Melbourne, just days before his team’s opening clash with Port Adelaide. Larkey, who was made captain during the off-season after former skipper Jy Simpkin failed in his bid to leave, has admitted the club’s arduous rebuild has taken “too long”, and says he feels for the supporters.
