Club history

The club was formed in 1869 believed to be an offshoot of Hotham or of the St Mary's Church of England Cricket Club and was a foundation club of the first organised Australian Rules competition, the VFA. North Melbourne began slowly, but had emerged as something of a powerhouse by the early 1900s, winning premierships in 1903, 1904 (after the game was forfeited by Richmond), 1910, 1914, 1915 and 1918.

The early inability to secure entry into the VFL was largely due to financial weakness, a reputation for hooliganism (resulting in the 'Shinboner' tag) and similar territory to Essendon, the latter leading to deliberate obstruction by that more prestigious club. One of the last Melbourne based clubs to be admitted to the league (along with Footscray and Hawthorn) and without sustained success in its early VFL days, North Melbourne struggled to gain new supporters, as most had existing loyalties to other clubs.

North Melbourne did not achieve highly in the first twenty-five years of VFL membership, but by the late 1940s had developed a strong list and significant supporter base. In 1949 North secured the VFL Minor Premiership, finishing top of the ladder at the end of the home-and-away season with 14 wins and 5 losses. They failed to make the Grand Final that year (eventually won by Essendon), but in 1950 they did reach the last Saturday in September, gallantly going down to defeat by a more efficient Essendon.

The 1950s and 1960s were lean years for North Melbourne, though the club did secure two consecutive Night Premierships in 1965 and 1966. Allen Aylett was a brilliant player in the late 1950s and captain between 1961 and 1964, and the equally-brilliant Noel Teasdale only fell short of the Brownlow Medal on a countback in 1965 (he was later awarded a retrospective medal when the counting system was amended). 1965 (MCMLXV) was a common year starting on Friday (the link is to a full 1965 calendar). ... 1966 (MCMLXVI) was a common year starting on Saturday (the link is to a full 1966 calendar). ...

Towards the end of the 1960s, and under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Allen Aylett, North Melbourne began its climb to supremacy. As part of a major recruitment drive, Barry Davis and Doug Wade were both brought from Essendon and Geelong respectively (though North failed to secure Carl Ditterich from St Kilda). In a major coup, the great Ron Barassi was appointed coach in 1973. His ruthless and inspiring coaching methods took North to a Grand Final (defeated by Richmond) in 1974 and brought success in his third (1975) and fifth (1977) seasons as coach. North made five consecutive Grand Finals under Barassi (1974-1978), though technically this number should be six, as the 1977 season saw two Grand Finals played between North and the Magpies, the first resulting in a draw which needed to be decided the following week (much to the chagrin of Magpie supporters). Also, in 1973 and 1974, North's superbly-talented wingman Keith Greig won consecutive Brownlow Medals. He was joined in 1978 by the mercurial forward Malcolm Blight, whose victory was known as the "worst kept secret in football". Doug Wade also secured the Coleman medal in 1974 with his 103 goals for the season. Image File history File links 70's_logo. ... Image File history File links 70's_logo. ...

Barassi continued as coach into 1980, but only a Night Premiership in that year was to result from his last years at Arden Street. North then entered another period of decline, though Malcolm Blight kicked 103 goals to take out the Coleman medal in 1982, and another Brownlow win came through the talented Ross Glendinning in 1983. In that year, North Melbourne won a third Minor Premiership (the second had come in 1978) with 16 wins and 6 losses for the season, but failed to make the Grand Final.

The capable coaching of John Kennedy aside, the 1980s and early 1990s were lean years for the Kangaroos. One major highlight was the recruitment of the gun forward John Longmire in 1989, who topped the club goalkicking over five consecutive seasos (1990-1994) and won the Coleman medal in 1990 with 98 - infuriatingly short of the magic 'tonne' (100). At the beginning of the 1993, in a dramatic and controversial move, the board of the club sacked coach (since 1990) and long-time playing stalwart Wayne Schimmelbusch, and appointed Denis Pagan in his place. Results were immediate, as North reached the finals for the first time in nearly a decade. Pagan was also instrumental in appointing the brilliant Wayne Carey as the club's youngest-ever captain. Carey had been recruited at the same time as Longmire, but taken longer to develop as a player. Carey's leadership over the next nine seasons was inspirational, and he came to be regarded as the standout player in the league, called 'the King' by media commentators and fellow footballers alike.

Narrow misses in 1994 and 1995 were finally avenged in 1996 when North defeated the Sydney Swans to take out the gold centenary AFL cup. Nuggety backman Glenn Archer secured the Norm Smith Medal for a best on ground performance in that game. Expected to continue on the winning ways, a slump came in 1997 after the injury to Carey's shoulder in a first round match against the Melbourne Football Club, and a loss to St. Kilda in the Preliminary Final (during which key ruckman Corey McKernan dislocated his shoulder). 1998 seemed to all to be North's year, as the club won both the pre-season Ansett Cup and topped the ladder with 16 wins and 6 losses (narrowly tipping out the Western Bulldogs in the final home-and-away game of the season). However, poor kicking and a lack of discipline allowed the Adelaide Crows to win their second premiership in as many years. Image File history File links 90's_logo. ...

It seemed that North might have missed its chance in 1998 when the following season seemed to belong to the Essendon Football Club. Essendon finished 1st and, after a slow start, the Kangaroos managed to take 2nd position on the ladder, thanks to a strong season from all of the key members of the playing group (including Carey, McKernan, Archer, Stevens). When the finals started, it seemed it would surely be an Essendon v North Melbourne Grand Final. However, the 6th placed Carlton Blues defeated an overly cocky Essendon in the Preliminary Final by 1 point, as the Bombers lacked the discipline to deserve a Grand Final place. The 1999 Grand Final was won easily by the Kangaroos [the first premiership won without the name 'North Melbourne' attached to the logo], with former Sydney midfielder Shannon Grant taking out the Norm Smith Medal. 1998 (MCMXCVIII) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year of the Ocean [1]. // Coated in ice, power and telephone lines sag and often break, resulting in power outages. ...

Seeking new markets and greater financial security in an increasingly corporatised AFL environment, the title "North Melbourne" was officially dropped from the logo in 1999, from which time the team played only as the "Kangaroos". During the successful 1999 season, North Melbourne played home games in Sydney with a view of becoming a second team in New South Wales. Perhaps partly because of North's victory over the Sydney Swans in the 1996, the experiment was not successful, with crowds averaging only 12,000. Most Sydney people had become aware of the concept of relocating Melbourne teams since the South Melbourne Football Club moved to Sydney and took many years to become accepted. The Kangaroos played several home games at Manuka Oval in Canberra over recent seasons, but from 2007 will play up to 10 home matches over three seasons at Carrara Stadium on the Gold Coast where support is growing for the AFL. The club still maintains their home ground in Victoria at the iconic Arden Street Oval, North Melbourne, which from 2006 underwent the first stages of a $6 million upgrade of training and other facilities.

Since the Kangaroos' last Grand Final Win in 1999, the club has slowly declined in strength. This was exacerbated by the revelations, emerging only a few weeks before the beginning of the 2002 season that champion captain Wayne Carey had been having an extra-marital affair (or perhaps "intra-marital") with the wife of teammate and vice-captain Anthony Stevens. Carey resigned in disgrace. However, despite the earthquake that hit Arden Street before the season began, Denis Pagan against all odds guided the Kangaroos to the 2002 finals series.

In the 2005 season, the Kangaroos fought back from a mid-season slump finishing fifth on the ladder and in doing so helped to silence all the critics who had labelled the club and new coach as 'ineffective' and 'useless'. Unfortunately, these critics returned when in the 1st Elimination Final, the Kangaroos lost by a shattering 87 points to reigning Premiers Port Adelaide.

2006 was anticipated as a major turning point for the Kangaroos. The club was consistent in its policy of swapping early draft picks for experienced players. There was a perception from outsiders that the club was facing an aging squad, with Daniel Wells shaping as the only young prospect for the Kangaroos. However, 2006 saw good performances from many of the other youngsters on North's list, including Daniel Harris, Hamish McIntosh, Corey Jones, Drew Petrie, David Hale and Andrew Swallow. In July of 2006, the Kangaroos' training ground, Arden Street suffered minor damage in a fire, which occurred at 4:30am, after a massive 72-point loss too the Adelaide at AAMI Stadium the night before.

Apart from victories over Port Adelaide and Hawthorn early in the season, and the pleasant sensation of defeating long-time AFL superpowers-turned wooden-spoon contenders Carlton and Essendon, the 2006 season was a disappointment, aside from the slow re-emergence of Nathan Thompson (formerly of Hawthorn, with a season total of 54 goals and 13 votes in the Brownlow medal count).

At the conclusion of the 2006 Premiership Season, the North Melbourne Football Club changed their logo, mainly due to strong supporter pressure. The design includes an image of stream-lined Kangaroo, backed by a blue and white shield, with 'Kangaroos' underneath. Under 'Kangaroos' is the wording 'North Melbourne Football Club', back on the logo, much to the delight of thousands of North Melbourne traditionalists.

2007 has seen the club in the media spotlight. With the retirement of personally troubled key defender Jonathan Hay and season ending injuries to the club's top two goal kickers of 2006, Nathan Thompson and Leigh Harding, the club has been overwhelmingly tipped to get the wooden spoon at season's end. In addition to this, trouble among the clubs board members and speculation of a relocation to the Gold Coast have also taken a toll. 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the CE era. ... Jonathan Hay (born August 13, 1979) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League. ... Nathan Thompson (born 14 February 1978) is an Australian rules footballer currently playing with the North Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League. ... Leigh Harding (born 26 April 1981) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League. ... A wooden spoon is a mock or real award, usually given to an individual or team which has come last in a competition, but sometimes also to runners-up. ...

In spite of this, the club's on field performance has been respectable with a semi-finals berth in the pre-season competition and a narrow loss in the opening round. Many have welcomed a return to the "exciting style of play" of a running game. The current name and logo of the AFL pre-season competition. ...

An example of the new running game of the Kangaroos was against the Lions in the Roos first Carrara home game, in which they won by 24 points, 12.15.87 to 8.15.63. Leigh Brown kicked 3 goals for the Roos, while Hamish McIntosh had his best game of his career, with 20 possesions, while Daniel Wells, Jess Sinclair, Glenn Archer and Shannon Grant had stellar performances.

As of the 12th of May, the kangaroos are have a win loss ratio of 4-3 having won 4 in a row, already ahead of where the critics predicted they would be, again provong the "experts" wrong. With a little luck, they very well could have been 5-2 or 6-1 with the three losses coming by narrow margins

The Gold Coast push

In 2006 the Kangaroos agreed to play 3 home games at Carrara Stadium in the Gold Coast throughout 2007, which has fuelled speculation of a possible relocation there by 2010. With 10 of the 16 AFL clubs based in and around Melbourne, the AFL has always pushed for more involvement interstate. The Kangaroos, much to the dismay of the very loyal North Melbourne fans, are one team that many suggest may be the next to move, due to their smaller membership and poor exisiting Melbourne training facilities. The Kangaroos made a strong push to merge with the Fitzroy Lions in 1996, but were pushed aside by the Brisbane Bears at the last minute, who in turn became the Brisbane Lions. The Kangaroos then signed an agreement to play home games at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1999 until 2001. Following this the Kangaroos played home games at Canberra's Manuka Oval from 2002 until 2006, when the Kangaroos received a better offer to move home games to the Gold Coast. Carrara Stadium or Carrara Sports Complex is a sporting venue on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, located in the suburb of Carrara. ... Gold Coast is a city and local government area in the southeast corner of Queensland, Australia. ... Melbournes CBD has grown to straddle the Yarra River in three major precincts. ... Brisbane Lions logo The Brisbane Lions Australian Football Club (the trading name for the Brisbane Bears-Fitzroy Football Club) are an Australian Football League club, formed from the post-1996 merger of the Brisbane Bears and Fitzroy, the Lions. ... The Brisbane Bears Football Club was the first Queensland-based club in the Victorian Football League. ... The Brisbane Lions Australian Football Club (the trading name for the Brisbane Bears-Fitzroy Football Club) are an Australian Football League club based in Brisbane, Queensland. ... The Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) (, ) is a cricket stadium in Sydney. ... Manuka Oval hosts AFL matches in winter and cricket in summer. ... Gold Coast is a city and local government area in the southeast corner of Queensland, Australia. ...

The Kangaroos have full AFL backing for their Gold Coast experiment, and the team has already filmed a television commercial shown in South East Queensland promoting their team and the game. The AFL has stated that it wants one game a week played in Queensland by 2015.^[1]

The club denies speculation of a permanent move to the Gold Coast, but things may be re-assessed based on how well the team is accepted there over the next few years.^[1] In an after match at AAMI Stadium vs Port, Roos CEO Rick Aylett mentioned that the Kangaroos or the AFL have never mentioned the much despised "R" word (relocation), but it has been the work of the media. He also said that they will begin work on the Arden Street ground soon, and it will begin the roos push to become a 21st century club.Aylett then finished by saying that the Kangaroos would never leave their Victorian faithful, and therefore wanted the name "North Melbourne" to be cemented for the next 100 years. Gold Coast is a city and local government area in the southeast corner of Queensland, Australia. ...

The Kangaroos have answered their critics with a 24 point win in their first "home" game at Carrara against the Lions. Hamish McIntosh picked up 20 possessions while Leigh Brown kicked 3 goals. Jess Sinclair, Glenn Archer and Daniel Wells were the Kangaroos best.

Membership base

In 2006, the North Melbourne Football Club had 24,700 members. A record number for the 4th year in a row, yet still one of the lowest in the league. As of February 19, the new-look Kangaroos had already signed up over 12,000 members for the club's crucial 2007 campaign, which includes 1,500 members in the Gold Coast.

Shinboner spirit

Main article: Shinboner spirit.

Though its origin is disputed, the 'Shinboner Spirit' came originally from butcher shops that were close to Arden Street Oval, when the North Melbourne Football Club was new. Known as the 'Shinboners' for roughly the first decades of their existence, the club adopted the "Kangaroos" nickname around the 1940s, and by the time of the first Grand Final appearance in 1950, this had become the dominant identifier of North Melbourne. Shinboner Spirit Ex-Kangaroos Football Club coach Denis Pagan used to evoke the cliché of Shinboner tradition to improve player performance: Pagans much-loved Shinboner Spirit was a phrase that often had the cynics rolling their eyes, but which reinforced over and over the impression that the Roos would... Arden St. ... 1950 (MCML) was a common year starting on Sunday. ...

The Shinboner Spirit is a phrase attributed to the Kangaroos' ability to fight back hard with their backs against the wall. The 2005 Season was a great example of this spirit, with the Kangaroos finishing fifth after being tipped for the wooden spoon by many otherwise well-respected football writers and journalists. It was most evident in their match against the Sydney Swans in 2004, when they rallied from a 40 point deficit at three-quarter-time to record a fitting result in Glenn Archer's 250th game of AFL Football. The Sydney Swans is an Australian Football League (AFL) club based in Sydney, New South Wales. ... Template:Infobox afl player/noimage Glenn Archer (born March 24, 1973) is an Australian rules footballer with the North Melbourne Football Club. ...

1996 season was the perfect example of the Shinboner spirit. Where the club went onto win the Centenary premiership despite merging talks off the field.

In 2005, to celebrate the club's 80th anniversary of senior competition and the thirtieth anniversary of the first VFL premiership, the Kangaroos held a massive "Shinboner Spirit" gala event, attended by almost the entire surviving playing list. In the awards ceremony, the key "Shinboners" of the past eighty years were acknowledged, with Glenn Archer named the "Shinboner of the Century" to almost unanimous acclaim. 2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
