Great to see every player on the track and a short sharp session to hone the boys for the Grand Final now only hours not days away.
A hige bonus were some great words from North Melbourne Great Sam Kekovich who expressed to the boys just how rare a Premiership can be and the bond for life that is forged from winning a Grand Final.
It was only a few weeks ago that we saw the comradarie and bonds (not to mention that nearly everyone returned for it) of our 1985 Premiership Team as they returned to Tigerland for the 25 Anniversary of their achievement.
For those who don't know much about Sam - below is some info - and we hope to see you at Hickey Park on Saturday!
Sam Kekovich started his senior football career with VFL club North Melbourne in 1968. The following year he won the club's best and fairest award and was the top goalkicker with 56 goals. He played a key role in the club's first premiership win in 1975 by assisting ruckman Mick Nolan by contesting boundary throw-ins, in which he won most of the hit outs against Hawthorn's top ruckman Don Scott.
After playing 124 VFL games for the Kangaroos between 1968 and 1976, he moved to Collingwood in 1977, but only played four games, retiring from the VFL that season. His football career did not end, as he switched to play in the Victorian Football Association for the Prahran Football Club and played in the 1978 VFA Premiership side against Preston at the Junction Oval.
He was included in the North Melbourne Team of the Century
