1935 to 1939 Best and fairest North Melbourne

Wally Carter (born 4 February 1909, date of death unknown) was an Australian rules footballer who played for and coached North Melbourne in the VFL.
Carter made his debut for North Melbourne in 1929 and played with the club for over a decade, winning the inaugural Syd Barker Medal for their best and fairest player in 1937. Towards the end of the 1940 season he acted as caretaker coach but failed to get a victory. It was his last season as a player but he would return to the club in 1948 as coach. He acted as coach from 1948 to 1953 and again from 1958 to 1962. During this time he became the first ever person to coach over 200 games for North Melbourne and their first ever Grand Final coach.
He was inducted into the North Melbourne Hall of Fame in 2002
1935/1937



Jock Cordner (born 9 June 1910, date of death unknown) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Footscray, Fitzroy and North Melbourne in the VFL. He was not related to the Cordner brothers who played in the same era.
Cordner played as a centreman and started his VFL career at Footscray. In two seasons with the club he managed just seven games due to a leg injury and he moved to Fitzroy in 1933. He played a couple of seasons with Fitzroy before being cleared to North Melbourne where he went on to play his best football. He won their 1938 Best and Fairest award and finished 6th in that year's Brownlow Medal. Cordner captained North Melbourne in 1941 but it would be his final season of league football, retiring due to injury. During his career he also represented Victoria at interstate football.
1938                            



Sid Dyer (born 25 May 1916, date of death unknown) was an Australian rules footballer who played for North Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Dyer twice finished equal sixth in the annual Brownlow Medal count, first in 1939 and again in 1946. He won the Syd Barker Medal in 1939 for North Melbourne's best and fairest player and also twice topped their goalkicking, in 1946 with 55 goals and the following season with 47.

Logo North Melbourne

Monogram logos were popular with cricket and football clubs during the 19th century and early 20th century.
This monogram design featured on official club publications prior to the 1960s



This is the club's official coat of arms and was used alongside the monogram design during the early 20th century up to the 1960s


In 1977 the VFL introduced official logos for the first time. Prior to 1977 logos were generally done by outside companies for sales of merchandise, but were in no way official. All the club's logos were printed on shields and had navy blue top halves to represent the VFL





1983–1984In 1983 the Kangaroo was reversed to face forwards instead of backwards to symbolise the direction the club was heading.




In 1984 the light blue was dropped and the actual club colours of royal blue were adopted on the stripes. This logo lasted till 2001 and was the last of the 'VFL shield' logos to be discontinued by any of the clubs in the AFL




This was the club's secondary logo during the 1990s and by 2002 had been adopted as the official logo. The shield was dropped, the North Melbourne name was removed and more stripes were added. The change was made to coincide with the 'Kangaroos' rebranding of the club after 1998






2007–presentIn May 2005 the club invited fans to have their say on the current logo with a view to updating it. Three important elements for the fans were the retention of the stripes, kangaroo and North Melbourne name to reaffirm the club's commitment to its history. The logo was unveiled in 2007 with the chief executive, Geoff Walsh, describing it as "exciting and progressive, and keeps in line with the clubs core values and future direction."

Brownlow Medal North Melboume

1965

Noel Teasdale (born 2 January 1938) is a former Australian rules footballer in the Victorian Football League.
Originally from Daylesford, Teasdale made his debut with the North Melbourne Football Club in 1956 playing as a ruckman and for a period, a full-back.
Teasdale was noted for his tough, uncompromising play and in 1964 saw this almost cost him his life - as his head clashed with that of North teammate Ken Dean leaving him in a serious condition in St. Vincent's Hospital. Midway through that same year, Teasdale came back to play for North, taking over the captaincy in the absence of injured skipper Allen Aylett.
The 1965 season saw Teasdale don a headguard (helmet) due to medical advice and this produced his best season yet - tying for the Brownlow Medal with Ian Stewart. Although he originally lost on countback, he was later awarded a retrospective medal.
His VFL career ended in 1967 and he later moved to Woodville Football Club. He is now retired and living in Hervey Bay, Queensland.


1973 ,1974

Keith Greig (born 23 October 1951) played on the wing for the Australian rules football North Melbourne Football Club from 1971 to 1985. He is considered as one of the most exciting players of the era, earning the nickname "Racehorse" because of his blistering speed on the field.
Greig was recruited from Brunswick in 1971. Greig captained the club from 1976 to 1979, and played a then club record 297 games. He represented Victoria 13 times in the state games, captaining the side once in 1978, and was named an All-Australian in 1983. He won the Brownlow medal twice, in 1973 and 1974.
He is a life member of North Melbourne, and was selected in the AFL's Team of the Century as a wingman. In 1996 Greig was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.


1978 



Malcolm Jack Blight AM (born 16 February 1950) is a former champion Australian rules football player and coach, and current television commentator.

The name Blight is of Cornish origin.[1]
