FORMER top-five pick Zane Duursma is now a Demon after North Melbourne and Melbourne agreed to a trade on Tuesday.

The exciting young forward got his wish to land at the Demons, with the Roos receiving picks 33 and 49, with pick 52 heading to the Dees along with Duursma.

With the Duursma deal done, the Roos are now set to turn their attention to their pursuit of Nick Murray, having already put forward the No.33 pick in an offer to Adelaide for the defender.

Drafted out of the Gippsland Power, Duursma booted 28 goals across 38 games for North Melbourne after he was taken with the fourth selection in the 2023 draft.

The 21-year-old played 15 games in 2026, but didn't play again after round 16 after struggling to cement his place in the Roos' side.

Despite not locking down a regular spot, Duursma remains highly regarded across the competition after showing flashes of the talent that made him one of the standout prospects in his draft class.
