		Founded in 1858, it is the oldest football club in Australia and is one of the oldest in the world.
		Melbourne's greatest player of these early years of the VFL was Ivor Warne-Smith, who in 1926 won the club's first Brownlow Medal (the League's annual award for the best and fairest player).
		The underlying problem for Melbourne and the other older clubs is that the new Australian Football League, a 16-team national competition, has ten clubs in Melbourne, a city which despite its great tradition of passionate support for Australian rules football, cannot financially support ten clubs competing against wealthy and successful interstate newcomers.

	North Melbourne Football Club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The North Melbourne Football Club, trading as the Kangaroos, and informally known as the Shinboners, is an Australian rules football club in the Australian Football League.
		The club was formed in 1869 believed to be an offshoot of Hotham or of the St Mary's Church of England Cricket Club and was a foundation club of the first organised Australian Rules competition, the VFA.
		North Melbourne began slowly, but had emerged as something of a powerhouse by the early 1900s, winning premierships in 1903, 1904 (after the game was forfeited by Richmond), 1910, 1914, 1915 and 1918.

	Kangaroos
		Football in Melbourne during the 1870s was gaining rapidly in popularity, but as far as its protagonists, the players, were concerned it remained essentially an amateur pre-occupation.
		North Melbourne's difficulties in this new milieu were compounded by the unavailability of its home ground at Arden Street, which was being reconstructed, but to its credit the side performed admirably, winning 14 out of 20 matches to come home 2nd behind Port Melbourne, an achievement repeated in each of the next 2 seasons.
		The upshot was that North Melbourne, having remained unbeaten during the finals series, was awarded the flag - surely the easiest, and certainly one of the most controversial, VFA premierships of the 20th century.

	North Launceston
		North was also the first northern club to win a state premiership, beating North Hobart 4.8 (32) to 3.10 (28) at the Launceston Cricket Ground in 1905, an achievement that was quickly duplicated the following year.
		North performed well to reach the semi finals where they were desperately unlucky to go down to Clarence by 2 points in a replay after the two teams had initially fought out a thrilling draw.
		North overcame the indignity of an 80 point second semi final loss to Launceston to down the same club by 25 points in the NTFA grand final and then defeated Devonport 18.17 (125) to 12.13 (85) to clinch the GNFL flag.

		In the meantime I gained certain satisfaction from the fact that those Melbourne based clubs chiefly responsible for flballing the merger went backwards as both the Roos and new Lions continued to thrive on the field.
		I am afraid to say in my dealings with North Melbourne officials post merger I gained the impression that they seemed more interested in how many Fitzroy supporters they could acquire while keeping their club as unsullied as possible.
		The report also confirms the club is talking to an AFL club (understood to be North Melbourne) about an alliance similar to the one between Melbourne and Sandringham that has seen Sandringham win the VFL flag and has given Melbourne place in the AFL Grand Final.
