Pretty amazing effort considering the times and what a great legacy he has left. I didn't like him as a layer but full respect

He was everything that’s good about our game as a player. What was there not to like?

High marking, fast and skilful, evasive, could kick goals from anywhere and had a bit of mongrel about him.

What's not to like?...as a kid, it was the mongrel and the fact he always killed the crows when we played them...oh yeah, and Lockett too

Sometimes you’ve just gotta take the blinkers off and appreciate the game for what it is in all it’s magnificence.

#27 North was one of my favourites growing up. I bloody loved him. Pre 1980 probably my fave non Tiger.

Great photo

looks like they think the ball is going to blow up.

And here we are today. Agree, one of the most influential players of the last 30 yeara

And they want equal pay because they say they do exactly what the men do...

It makes a mockery of the sport where you need to be athletic and fit to play also dosent seem like it takes much to play for a women’s team all you need is a bit of footballing ability and your’re in.

Carlton playing either the Southern Tasmania or the City Football Club, Hobart June 1888 (from the Blueseum)

That's the old STFA Ground at Cornelian Bay in Hobart. Still there beside the Brooker Highway as an open playing field just opposite the Tasmanian Hockey Centre.
Pre-dated the TCA Ground and North Hobart Oval in use as a football ground.
STFA was one of the earlier names for what would become the TFL.

Jezza's mark in the 1970 VFL Grand Final at the MCG.

A packed Victoria Park at a Collingwood v Carlton match in 1970.

Wynyard Cats supporters storm West Park Oval in Burnie to rip down the posts to stop North Hobart winning the 1967 Tasmanian State Grand Final.

Nice pics. Got any more Tassie ones? Was a Clarence fan back in the day when I lived there...

Peter Hudson in his return to TANFL football for the first time since 1966 leads for the ball ahead of Hobart's Peter Ratcliffe (24) at the TCA Ground in 1975.

Hobart prepare to take the field in the 1980 Winfield Statewide Cup Final at North Hobart against Clarence (which they later won).
This tournament occurred only once and was seen as getting the ball rolling towards a Statewide League which happened six years later.
The ill-fated Letitia Street Stand stands in the left forward pocket.

Hobart and Glenorchy do battle in a 1979 TANFL match at North Hobart with the 1972-built Gorringe Electronic scoreboard showing the Magpies 2 points up late in the 3rd Quarter.

Hobart's Peter "Meatloaf" Nevin marks strongly in front of Peter Hudson in 1979 at North Hobart.

New Norfolk and North Hobart do battle at North Hobart in 1979.

TFL Grand Final day at North Hobart was always an incredible atmosphere of passion, venom and noise.
The big crowd was always right on top of you.

1996 TFL Statewide League Grand Final between Clarence and Burnie.

1994 TFL Statewide League Grand Final between Clarence and New Norfolk.

A shot for goal to the Horrie Gorringe Stand end in the second quarter on the 1996 TFL Grand Final.

A shot from the crowd which resembles a human wall during the 1974 TANFL Grand Final between North Hobart and Sandy Bay.

 

[d33my]

Thanks Kingpin . Great shots. Presume these are yours?
I didn't even realise I had nostalgia for that North Hobart scoreboard until I saw it again in your pics. Haha.

Interesting to see the VFL scores on the scoreboard too.

Also, I'm pretty sure I was at that 1996 GF too, but in the diagonally opposite pocket, assuming there was a grandstand there too. I haven't been back to the ground in about twenty years, probably seeing North Launceston win the '98 flag there would have been the last time

How could you not like him as a player? That’s very odd. He was awesome to watch.

 

[mick500]

Now that's good humour even a JJ crows fan can appreciate.


Probably already been done, but I like this one as well...
