Its four games isn't it?I don't reckon that you'll see the club cede any of the 3 games in Tassie per-season anytime soon. The sponsorship money for our 3 games there is too lucrative.

Take Alan Aylett and Andrew Dometriou as cases in point once they got into positions of influence.
Club president 1971-1976 his better years but in the early 2000s when we did nothing to capitalise on the back of two flags in the late 90s, our membership was struggling to make 18,000, club debt at $10 mil, listed as junk shares on the stock exchange, the club HQ and facilities the worst in the VFL and AFL, and that weird hopping mixomatosed looking rabbit logo. Two years after his final departure from the club, the entire AFL community and half our board had our bags packed for Queensland.
You're right, a raging success. sh*te ... what was I thinking.

Yeah, I know it has become fashionable among the ignorant to crap all over his legacy when he couldn't see a way out for the club pre-2007, but they get amnesia regarding what happened in the years prior to this.
The man mortgaged his own house so North could win their fist premiership, and his achievements sh*t ALL OVER anything that has occurred post 2007.
Explains why Horse and Duck are so fond of you, tooThe joke is on you, I’m actually a vet.
How did you think I was so successful at keeping mighty Mick on the park?
Harsh but fair. He was only active on the board 1971-76. I recall us being wooden spooners 1971-73. The real halcyon era was with Bob Ansett as Club President and when Barrassi left Carlton (remember him coaching Carlton to a few flags) and he came to North Melbourne. That was the magic moment. I credit Barrassi for moulding a team of imported champion (mostly interstate) players into the champion team of the 70s.An architect of the halcyon 70s glory days Roogal, along with Mr Joseph and Mantello
Very harsh in your assessment

One of the more memorable evenings. Finished with me waking up in the shrubs outside the baths.

Jeez potting Allen Aylett's contributions to this footy club a new low.
Aylett's always been a national game/relocationist firt and foremost and in his old age is willing to sacrifice us to make that a reality.
We've got a rat in the ranks.
Niall is a decent journo (for The Age anyway) and while this is bullshit, someone at the club or associated with it has briefed him.
Question is who?
better not have been that old **** Aylett.
Yep, Aylett was the driver in that. But as we at North learned in 2007, the desire of the Aylett genetic line to shaft clubs runs both ways.
JB is right not give this crap oxygen.
And the difference between him and Aylett/Duff is that he is actually working to deliver real esults.
....might need to pull out my North Reference books and rewrite some pages
Sorry SLF. Love ya but you once saw things differently on this matter too my friend.
Doc's photo should be in the dictionary next to "mixed feelings".
Yep, and we survived that so my position changes with times and context.
You know, like how we might bag a player who is turning in sh*t and then be all about them when they hit form.
Back then we were in an existential fight and he wasn't pulling his weight.
Over a decade later we're secure in Melbourne and he's an elder statesman of the club.
Purely coincidental that you ended up in the former with direct line of sight to the latter though yeh?
I'm still struggling with Doc Aylett barracking for the Swans in the 96 GF.
