A great piece of historical footage containing media clips of the lead up in to the 1996 grand final.


Great find.
What took me was just how hyped the week is when your teams playing.
I was 6 but I wouldn’t know what to do if we lost a grand final nowadays.

A photo I took at Arden St. Round 20 15 August 1981. Kerry Good (no.7) and Kym Hodgeman (no.17) can be seen near the goal square. They kicked 14 goals between them that day (Good 10 Hodgeman 4) Glendinning was B.O.G.
Mate, how ******* good is that!!! Captures an angle you never see on the old YouTube clips. I could sit here looking at that for hours. I probably will. Brings back some memories

The old brick grandstand has gone and work is commencing on the new administration building. I managed to score a couple of bricks from the old grandstand.

The greatest number 1 to ever pull on a North jumper.

Try to fathom how good this bloke must have been when you look at those distinctions from only 132 games.

Kanga Kasino with Blakey serving you beers and the GIANT '75 premiership photo in the restaurant 👍
Good times.

I used to work across the road at Floors of Australia. Every Friday was long lunch time with my boss Frosty and Johnny Blakey pulling the beers and wagging the chin.

Part of my initial job interview was "who do you barrack for Groggy?"

Sorted :thumbsu:

Yeah, that vaguely rings a bell Hoj, but I wouldn't be relying on my memory with any great reliability.
 
Back in a time before the hipsters and real estate whores moved in to the neighborhood.
Yeah, different days fer sure.

Laucke's up the road, remember that old white Bedford van full of junk and god knows what else parked in the same spot for years on Laurens st ?,......
