Jasmine Garner and Ash Riddell commit to North Melbourne as rival clubs circle

North Melbourne has secured two of its leading players, with Jasmine Garner and Ash Riddell signing new deals, while the club may still face pressure to hold on to other talent. The Australian reports that the pair have agreed to substantial contracts to remain with the Kangaroos. Their decisions offer the club continuity, but the trade picture is not settled: two other North Melbourne players are said to have attracted interest from rival teams. The report does not identify those players or provide details of the clubs pursuing them. It also does not specify the length or financial terms of Garner and Riddell’s new agreements. The headline signals that a possible raid could leave the Roos with further list decisions to make. For now, Garner and Riddell have chosen to stay, giving North Melbourne a boost as it works through the next stage of its squad planning. Whether the interest in the unnamed players develops into formal moves remains unclear from the information available.
