Bell failed to make an impression on Dockers' coach Gerard Neesham, who regarded him as too slow a runner and too small (at 174 cm) to be a successful AFL player. Bell was selected for only two games in 1995. He was delisted at the end of that season, worked hard to improve his leg speed, and was picked up in the 1996 Pre-season draft, by North Melbourne, where he achieved regular selection and acclaim for his courageous, energetic and skilled performances under coach Denis Pagan.

At the end of 2000, Fremantle sought his return and Bell was traded back to his original club. As it happened, 2001 was a disastrous season for the Dockers, culminating in the dismissal of coach Damian Drum. Bell won the best and fairest award for his club that year and was one of the very few shining lights in a season where the Dockers recorded just two victories. The following year he was appointed captain and in 2003 the club made the finals for the first time. Bell was once again an All-Australian, this time as a follower.
