Quote:
1998 saw the Club play in its ninth Grand Final and second under coach Denis Pagan. Unfortunately the Roos were unable to capitalise on a four goal half time lead and Adelaide were the eventual Premiers. This was also the last time the Club played under the banner 'North Melbourne'.
The decision to play and trade under the banner of the Kangaroos reflected the Club's decision to broaden its national appeal. While we are and always shall remain the North Melbourne Football Club, fully capitalising on the Club's long-standing nickname the Kangaroo - a true Australian icon - is believed to provide significant opportunities in developing an Australia-wide profile.

So you are not called North Melbourne then Borak.
