  North Adelaide
North champion Barrie Robran gave an irrepressible display which in some ways was the pinnacle of his career, and gave rise to an unprecedented tribute from quintessentially one-eyed Victorian TV commentator, Louie 'the Lip' Richards, who dubbed Robran "the new king of football." [see footnote 1]
North of 1921 were as ordinary as their predecessors of the year before had been outstanding, and they failed even to make the finals.
North did manage to reach the grand final in 1932, losing to Sturt, but in the remaining years of the decade the best they could manage was 3rd place in 1936.

 North Adelaide (2)
As the 1940s dawned North supporters could have been excused for licking their lips in anticipation given the red and whites' by now renowned habit of bursting out of the blocks at the start of decades, but on this occasion there was to be disappointment.
North finished 6th in 1940 (despite 125 goals from Farmer [see footnote 5]), and then slumped to 7th in 1941 in what was proved to be the goal kicking legend's last season.
North's post-match protests were in vain as the laws of football clearly state that play shall cease, not when the bell (or siren) sounds, but when "the field umpire signifies that he has heard it by sounding his whistle".

 Australian Rules Football: Point Me To It!!!
Australian football, which is also known as Australian Rules Football, or less formally as "Aussie Rules" or simply as "Footy" is a code of football which originated in Melbourne, Australia.
The game is also distinguished from other games by the fast, relatively free movement of the ball (partly due to the absence of an offside rule) and the awarding of a free kick for any clean catch — known as a mark — of a ball which has been kicked more than 15 meters.
Although it is a winter sport, pre-season competitions usually begin in late February (that is, in the Australian summer); the football season proper is from March to August, with finals being held in September.

He's name is Ben Hart who debut with the NAFC in 1990, and at 17 years old got to play in his first (but not his last premiership!), wearing number 34 - this tall, slim, red headed guy, just blew my mind.
