No team in the AFL had a faster growing Twitter account than North during the 2016 season, based on the percentage of followers growth.

A combination of competitions, behind the scenes access and information proved popular with both North and non-North fans, with the followers growing quickly each week, regardless of results on the field.

With Syd Barker Medal night coming up on October 7, followed by the 2016 trade period, there’ll be plenty more content @NMFCOfficial.
