  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".

 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.

 AdelaideNow... Taste of Bloods, then North fires
NORTH Adelaide buried West Adelaide by 49 points at Broadspectrum Oval yesterday, the Roosters now setting their sights on the much-awaited clash with the high-flying Eagles next Saturday.
North was under the pump all over the ground early, while the Bloods were happy to frustrate by chipping it around until they created space up the ground.
North overtook West after quarter-time, and though Leigh Ryswyk, Ladhams and Bamford controlled the play, the two goals that gave them the lead were from questionable decisions.

 Carey might take the long road back - realfooty.com.au
North (the Roosters) play a practice match that day against Glenelg at the Crows' training venue, next to AAMI Stadium.
But if Adelaide continues to err on the side of caution with Carey's fitness and comeback, he might be held back until Saturday, March 22, when the Crows will not be engaged - but North Adelaide will play a 10.30am intraclub trial at Prospect Oval.
Adelaide communications manager Phil Harper confirmed yesterday that Carey playing for North Adelaide was a realistic option before the Crows' round-one clash with Fremantle in Adelaide on March 30.

 Official Site of the Glenelg Football Club - The Tigers
South Adelaide and Norwood continue to knock on the door of the final five, so a slip up against Central Districts next week, or South in Round 22, could spell the end of Glenelg's season, such is the closeness of the competition.
North Adelaide led all day, eventually running out big 53 point winners over a terrible Glenelg outfit that has shown glimpses this season that its very best can beat anyone in the competition, but its worst is absolutely shocking.
The Tigers continued their domination over North Adelaide, winning their third battle for 2006 against last year's premier by 34 points in the 20.9.129 to 14.11.95 victory.

 Sports Australia - SANFL Match Report: North hold on in arm-wrestle [Sep 11, 2005]
North captain Darryl Wintle, who suffered cramp in the final quarter, lived up to the tough conditions in the midfield and half back line in collecting 22 possessions and four marks.
With a fierce breeze, the Roosters went about taking advantage of it and they did just that with five of the first six goals - all single goal-kickers - as they extended their lead to 25 points.
North pushed more numbers behind the ball in an attempt to cease the pace of the game after Damon White extended the lead to 13 points with only four minutes remaining.

 Sports Australia - SANFL Match Report: Watts the star as Eagles progress [Sep 18, 2005]
North captain Darryl Wintle was a shining light for the Roosters, particularly in the third quarter, as he gathered 26 possessions and booted three goals, while forward Damon White played a more defensive role in collecting nearly 20 possessions and 10 marks.
North Adelaide did all the attacking first and in stark contrast to last week, yielded the early results when Shaun Gatto and Matthew Krieg set them alight with two early goals.
Sandwiched amid a flurry of North behinds, Watts attempted to arrest the Roosters momentum in kicking his seventh goal from a tight angle, with the Eagles trailing by 12 points at the final change.

On its form against the Roosters, Central is a genuine premiership contender, and now has two opportunities to qualify for its seventh consecutive grand final - beat the Eagles this Sunday or defeat the winner of the first semi-final, between South and North, the following week.
After the Roosters squeezed two answering majors over the middle 10 minutes of the first quarter, the Dogs moved up a cog into time on with goals from Leigh Westhoff and Stuart Cochrane to lead by 11 points at the first break.
North's first two goals of the last term were answered by Luke McCabe, but then the Roosters added four majors in junk time to add some respectability, while Yves Sibenaler ran down to snap a nice goal for the Dogs.

O'Sullivan gave a repeat performance at the 11 minute mark when he took a back step from a pack and snapped the first goal of the quarter, which was followed up by a clever major from Leigh Westhoff, when he tapped a ball back and retrieved the footy, then snapped truly.
North finally kicked a goal against the run of play, but when O'Sullivan lined up from 40m out at the 26 minute mark, the answer seemed imminent.
In the lead-up to the shot, Luke Cowan had laid a perfect bump on a Rooster player, before the ball was delivered to Daniel Schell and transferred to O'Sullivan.
