North Melbourne Kangaroos

North Melbourne KangaroosSince the club was introduced to the AFL in 1869, the North Melbourne Kangaroos have become well known in Premiership circles for their ‘Shinboner’ spirit and its ability to win them games when their backs are up against the wall. The Kangaroos have won four AFL flags, with success coming in 1975 and 1977, then again in 1996 and 1999. With former Brisbane Lions hardman Brad Scott at the helm, North Melbourne will look to be a force in seasons ahead.
