He did concede the theme song sounded clumsy.

But what is he going to do about it?

We've been called North Melbourne for over 100 years...answers the question!

NRTH MELBOURNE!!

We are still officially and legally the North Melbourne Football Club. The club said as much when they decided to be known as the kangaroos. The change in name was designrd to appeal more to potential interstate supporters. It hasn't worked. the soomer we revert to North Melbourne the better. We can still be the kangaroos.
As for the song the new words just don't fit.

The trading name seems irrelevant to me and I hate how it is used as a fallback to proove that we are still the North Melbourne Football Club.

I want the fixture and other AFL publications to refer to us as North Melbourne. They can market the club interstate as the kangaroos all they want.

Fixing the song would be good too.

How about a compromise, the 'North Melbourne Kangaroos"?

Can this thread somehow be forwarded to those in charge of decision-making at the Club??

Probably, but can you see them listening?

Probably not. But surely if we say it loudly enough and often enough they will eventually get the message!
