Having put behind it almost 150 years of experience as one of Australias leading football clubs, North Melbourne has reason to be proud. Norths is a fine heritage, a source of justifiable pride to all who have contributed to its development since its inception in 1869. The clubs achievements, splendid as they are, are even more praiseworthy when it is appreciated how impoverished were some of the phases through which it has passed, and the relatively small supporter base it had to work with, competing against more affluent clubs. The Shinboners have had their share of premierships and other honours, yet it would be a mistake to think that the North tradition arose merely from its successes. It has been created more so by generation of after generation of North Melbourne players, officials and supporters tested by poverty, challenged by defeat and resolutely dedicated to the persistent triumph of the Royal Blue and White.
