looks like the second verse has been ditched for quite a while now,i cant recall hearing it sung before,going back to the early 60's,so dating myself a bit

Doesn't roll off the tongue that well especially if you think about it game day wise.

Question for history buff's on the pre game show last Sunday David King said that North was established in 1925, I always thought it was 1869 is he wrong and why would he say that??

 

[muttley45]

i think 1925 we were admitted to vfl,established in 1869

 

[giantroo]

Yep 1925 was the year we entered but it should've been alot earlier had it not been for a certain team but we were established in 1869.

did he seriously say that?

 

[tazaa]

did he seriously say that?

he said inception when he meant induction

 

[danj]

he said inception when he meant induction

Yeah I just watched the replay and he said 'since the club's inception in 1925' Seemed odd to me maybe he did mean 'induction'?? Anyways it still sucks that not all the club's premierships are counted by the AFL

Hi everyone - been looking at Trove which is the National Library of Australia digital search engine. One of the papers it has online is the North Melbourne Advertiser which existed for the last three decades of the 19th Century which include match reports from the period. Here is one from September 1873 from a game played between the "Northerners" and the Tiges at Richmond Paddock which proves that Tigers supporters have always been feral: http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/printArticleJpg/71564666/3?print=n

I think I prefer the term "a long palaver" better than a melee

Great contribution CM.

The two clubs hated each other in the VFA days culminating in Richmond forfeiting the 1904 VFA grand final.

 

[Chris who]

Hi all, enjoying the thread. Have come across a West Perth V North Melbourne programme from mar 22 1969. Anyone know who won the match? Did North play any other sides on the trip?

 

[Rooboy 96]

anyone know why we celebrated our 100th season in 1971?

At $8, surely the club just buys it!

Hi Kangas,

Apologies for being a Collingwood supporter, but I was wondering if any of you know where i might be able to find any images of Osbourne (Ossie) Parks. He wore the number 29 for the roos between 1934-1941.

He's my grandfather ( since deceased ). I know it would give my mother (his daughter) a thrill.

I've found some on the Yarraville Eagles site, but am looking to see him in a kangas jumper.

Appreciate your time.
