North Adelaide (1864 words)
North champion Barrie Robran gave an irrepressible display which in some ways was the pinnacle of his career, and gave rise to an unprecedented tribute from quintessentially one-eyed Victorian TV commentator, Louie 'the Lip' Richards, who dubbed Robran "the new king of football." [see footnote 1]
North of 1921 were as ordinary as their predecessors of the year before had been outstanding, and they failed even to make the finals.
North did manage to reach the grand final in 1932, losing to Sturt, but in the remaining years of the decade the best they could manage was 3rd place in 1936.
North Adelaide (2) (1446 words)
As the 1940s dawned North supporters could have been excused for licking their lips in anticipation given the red and whites' by now renowned habit of bursting out of the blocks at the start of decades, but on this occasion there was to be disappointment.
North finished 6th in 1940 (despite 125 goals from Farmer [see footnote 5]), and then slumped to 7th in 1941 in what was proved to be the goal kicking legend's last season.
North's post-match protests were in vain as the laws of football clearly state that play shall cease, not when the bell (or siren) sounds, but when "the field umpire signifies that he has heard it by sounding his whistle".
