The North Melbourne Football Club is a Melbourne based club which emerged from humble origins in 1869. They play their home matches at Etihad Stadium (formerly Telstra Dome) and club colours are blue and white.
Nicknamed the 'Kangaroos’ and based at Arden Street, they have won 4 premierships since joining the league and the most recent was in 1999 when they defeated Carlton.
The Roos have struggled financially over the years but they have produced champions such as Malcolm Blight, Wayne Schimmelbusch, Wayne Carey and Glen Archer. Nth Melbourne is a proud football club, well known for their 'Shinboner Spirit', which comes to the fore when the chips are down.

North Melbourne in 2011
North Melbourne had a season of improvement under coach Brad Scott and they weren't helped by a lack of continuity early in the season due to injuries and player fitness. Daniel Wells and Drew Petrie were the best performers for the Roos, while youngsters Todd Goldstein and Jack Ziebell give North melbourne plenty of hope for the future.
