Answer 6

I have always called them North Melbourne, I even heard Rex Hunt say North Melbourne to describe them during the qualifying final on 3AW via the internet this year.

Also, I still call Footscray, Footscray, Western Bulldogs just isn't right.

Teddy wouldn't like it if he was still alive.

Answer 7

I wont change what I call them - I'll still refer to them as the Easybeats!

Answer 8

I'm old school...I still call them NORTH, even after they changed to the Kangaroos, I just couldn't break the habit of calling them North!

So so glad they are going back to being North Melbourne and ditching the stupid generic name of Kangaroos.

Bulldogs should go back to being Footscray too!!

Stupid Andrew & AFL for trying to make the Vic sides non-suburb specific...pffft!

Answer 9

For some stupid reason I always think of them by what the  ridiculous furniture salesman in the 80's Franko Cozzo called them

Norta melbun

And Footiscray for the bulldogs

Answer 13

They are and always will be Norta Meeeelbun in my mind and I can't even remember the name of the comedian who used to do a skit with "Norta Meeelbun, Fitazroy and Footasgray" but it was funny if not kind to our Southern European brethren.
