Learning & Life Centre classroom named "The Huddle"

[Reverend Shinboner]

North Melbourne has selected 'The Huddle' as the new name of the Learning and Life Centre classroom.

'The Huddle' was the club's overwhelming favourite among nearly 1000 entries into the 'name the classroom' competition, which was designed to identify a catchy and clever name representative of the club and the community.

Not sure about the name myself ... would be interested in other's thoughts?

better then Heart.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Better than Puddle also.

Sounds like a dyslexic telescope.

On the subject of names, it certainly bodes well having a bloke named Demetriou running the joint.

 

[RoyalBlue]

Better than "The Christian Side Hug"

Is he an actual relation to Vlad? One would certainly think so with a surname like that!

I'm not sure I've ever seen a bigger sign of faith coming out of the AFL than that. It is almost Sydney-esque IMHO.

I can see Andy D really really liking North pushing hard to become the one and only true community club. But we all know what they say about assumptions..

I am very disappointed by the choice of the name "The Huddle" it is too generic, I thought they would have gone for something North Melbourne specific.
Also considering the fact that the room is going to be used by so many students it would have been good to hear the use of the word, North, Kangas, Kangaroos etc., being used when spoken about outside the Centre.


The Room is a Learning and Life Centre Education Room not a physical education room.

By the way, to the poster who enquired, James D is Andy D's brother.

Agreed KL. The name is ok but why not include a NMFC angle? Too generic. Branding opportunity missed for mine.

I knew you'd be across this.

Also, I am hoping the club uses some inspirational images on the walls such as these.

Definitely missed a free opportunity to have the North Melbourne brand, displayed, and spoken of. Poor decision.

Should have, and hopefully still could, consider inserting the word "North, or NMFC" in front of "The Huddle"

could read

"The North Huddle"

I'm not so sure the branding is too critical. After all, it is just a room in the overall Arden St complex - which is heavily NMFC branded. School groups won't advertise excursions to "the Huddle", but to the NMFC Learning & Life Centre. That said, if a North/NMFC/Roos reference worked within the context of the name, it probably would be preferable.

I just think "The Huddle" is average. I can't remember any now, but there were quite a few interesting names put forward, and this seems like a pretty mediocre option.

I guess the only question you need to ask yourself here is - why hasn't the melding of those three essential elements been done earlier ?

Mine was better.....

 

[jacko57]

Mine was better.....

as was mine (The Gasometer Room)

 

[The Other Dean]

He's right you know.

But mine was better than the world + infinity.

OK, well I can't compete with that!

 

[King Corey]

OK, well I can't compete with that!

Just add +1 and I think you'll get him.

 

[Twinkletoes]

as was mine (The Gasometer Room)

I thought mine had a chance too (The Gas Chamber).

 

[Bigeasy]

I would prefer it represented a true North person who gave a lot to the club and community.

The Barry Cheatley or Ron Joseph Room.

Either of those two deserve the honour.

They'd be alot more suitable, and deserving, than the "Duff Information Co-habitation Klass (sic) Room", or D.I.C.K Room for short!

The best they can come up with is "The huddle" ? Very yankee doodle if you ask moi. What's wrong with something like "The Pouch" , now that's got lots of correlation with 'Kangaroos' does it not? heck, where else do joey's grow & learn from?

Huddle vs Pouch posse... go figure.

How about The Sac?

Not bad idea at all TBE. Consider the North numbers have to go forth & multiply to compete with the Big 4.. having it as a community orgy room is a brilliant idea.

Can you imagine the conversation a senior player would have with a new recruit:

Drew: Hey rookie, in the Sac right now.

Rookie: **** off ****.
