Kangaroos Football Club
The
Kangaroos Football Club, formerly the
North Melbourne Football Club, and informally known as the
Shinboners or the
Kangaroos plays
Australian rules football in the
Australian Football League. It is based at the Arden Street oval in the inner
Melbourne suburb of North Melbourne, but plays its home matches at the
Melbourne Cricket Ground and, occasionally, Docklands Stadium or Princes Park.
The club had its greatest on-field success of any decade in the 1990s, with a simple game plan devised by ruthless coach Dennis Pagan implemented around star forward Wayne Carey.
Premierships: 4, 1975, 1977, 1995, 1999.
