He play in either of those night flags K7 ?

Unfortunately missed both through injury. Had a broken arm in 1965. Was named in the 1966 side, but had to withdraw with a groin injury and was replaced by Karanicolas.

The foundation of a football club is the administration and there was none better than North Melbourne in the 70s.

Used to pour a nice beer at the Courthouse back in the day. Set us up in that '75 G.F. That first huge goal got us rolling.

Actually Gumble's watching highlights of that G.F. with his 4 first half goals and his " score involvements " in the last q. if the North Smith was awarded in that game l think Johnny could well have taken it home.

consummate 70’s centreman. I still get chills remembering him streaming goalward to kick one of his 4 goals that day watching from my nosebleed seat in the western stand. Realising at the same time we were a real chance to win it. I remember an interview with him where he said his feet never touched the ground that day.

Pretty sure they were printed in Mutt's. Have to dig mine out.

Same.

Can someone contact young "Dan" at the club and inform him that "Krakouer" was in fact "Crackers" Keenan?

My time at the Kangaroos was pretty special. Some people had been supporting the club for 60 years, and to see us actually win a grand final was pretty good.

In fact, send them an email instructing them to have kangaroo7 proof read every historical article before they publish them.

Wonderful First SportsCo was at Meadowfair i.i.r.c. Just round the corner for me back then.

Yep, and I've said it before but I turned into an 8yr old screaming mess on the outer wing as it sailed through then, once home, felt compelled to ride my dragster up and down my street in full North clobber while carrying an oversized royal blue and white flag. It was the most exciting thing I'd ever witnessed to that point and it remains thereabouts to this day.

I went with a Blews mate. I was 15. Great day going home.
