Hewitt arrived at North Melbourne from WAFL club Subiaco , having been recruited with the 23rd selection of the 1996 AFL Draft . He was unable to hold down a key forward spot at North Melbourne as Wayne Carey and Corey McKernan were first choices . Hewitt , who spent some time in the ruck , did however manage to put together 19 games in 1998 and win an AFL Rising Star nomination . The following season he could only manage four games due to the strength of the Kangaroos team , which went on to claim their second premiership in four seasons
