The Banner

[DeeSpencer 26,327]

please, only those who show this ^^^ for the jumper & team, every week...

Well that's the good part about adding one more player after each win.

Say we've won 2 games, maybe it's round 5 or 6 and so we've added Nath Jones and Dom Tyson to Flower. We then win a game where Watts has 25 touches and 3 goals including the match winner, but so far in the season Watts' has been his usual self. Do we then give it to Watts or the ever consistent Cross or Viney?

Bit fiddly to keep adding one by one but I love the idea that the best on ground votes in a winning game can also include a poll option for who is due to be added to the banner. And people can choose like the rising star nomination to go for the body of work or for the best individual game or whichever balance they like.

My opinion, 2015 remains a tribute to Robbie Flower, with Nath Jones added to the right side from round 1 onwards as he is Robbie's current no 2 & spiritual heir and bloody deserving of a full season tribute also given 3 blueys in a row, years of blood, sweat & tears & his latest show of commitment....... Then by the end of 2015 who knows what we'll want on it, hopefully our premiership winning team celebration photo!

It seems that somehow you have confused the federal leader of the Labor Party of half a century ago , Arthur Calwell , with our legendary club Secretary of the same period ,Jim Cardwell .

If we're looking for a photo of Arthur Calwell, contact News Ltd. The Herald had a great photo of him on the front page after he was shot at showing the shotgun pellet marks on his 5 o'clock shadowed chin.

I'm with the school that would like to keep it as is. Just Robbie for 2015 or at least until the first anniversary of his passing.

By then we'll have had a decent sample to choose who has earned a spot

Calwell was also part of the picture which created the notorious "faceless men" phenomenon that has plagued the Labor Party for half a century.

Calwell and Whitlam - despite being leader and deputy leader respectively - were left out of an important ALP conference meeting on a proposed naval base in WA, and photographers snapped them waiting outside a Canberra hotel in the middle of the night while conference delegates inside - the faceless men - decided ALP policy.

Back on topic, Calwell and Whitlam shouldn't be on the Demonland banner.

Norm Smith, Robbie Flower, Jim Stynes, David Neitz, Nathan Jones

You're right. Calwell was a mad Norf fan. No 1 ticket holder I believe

[angrydee 842]

The number one ticket holder at norf during that period was DLP stalwart Frank McManus.

I am of 1949 vintage and J.C. retired in 1975 after 25 years in the job.

[gsmith12 491]

Flower, Stynes, Jones and Roos.

He had huge North connections being born in the area and living most of his life there . He was Club President before the War and was the local federal Member .

I heard some of him & that he was revered as a gun admin? had a lot to do with our power?

I'd keep Robbie, put Jimmy on the other end and have Jones, Tyson,Roos, Viney and Hogan in the middle

Robbie, Jimmy, Jones and Roos yes, the others need to reach the heights of the others before getting on the banner

[felixdacat 459]

I have an idea:

We leave it how it is until the season stars. Then with every win we add a person to the banner. It can be based on how overall deserving they were or it can be if they are best on ground and a key part of winning that game.

Then as the season goes on hopefully we have lots of faces on the banner.

I like this idea as long as Tulip remains throughout

Forced me to the books you buggers ! Yep, president NMFC 1928 - 34. "I am still the number one life member of the North Melbourne club" A.Calwell. "Be Just & Fear Not" 1972.

Back to Jim Cardwell. A long time ago my mum was friends with Don Nicholls & his wife. He told me the story of how, as a young man, he came home one night to find Jim Cardwell sitting at the kitchen table selling MFC to Don's parents. One of the rare times Cardwell didn't land his man. Don had plenty of suitors and I think he said his preference was Richmond or perhaps he said they made the best offer. Anyway, he went to Carlton, little brother John followed the following year & a Bluebagger legend was born.

That meeting take place in Maryborough ?

I believe so. We are getting into some dusty recesses in my memory.

[Demonsterative 3,021]

Captain, Coach and the clubs greats to go with Robbie.

[Moonshadow 17,678]

After the scooter thread, I believe Saty should be on the banner next to Jonesy. Ditch the scooter though...

That's not a bad idea. You could have a 'much maligned' banner; Saty, Simon Godfrey, Big Al Nicholson, Jordie McKenzie bookended with Hogans Heroes

You left off a few in your "most maligned" list. Surely Jack Watts has to be there. And Colin Sylvia, Isaac Weetra, Mark Neeld. I could go on...
