The Northerners is pleased to announce that Glenn Archer, the Shinboner of the Century, has agreed to take on the role of Northerners’ Patron for season 2009.

Northerners’ President, Caroline Carnegie, welcomed Glenn to the Northerners. “We are thrilled that Glenn has accepted our invitation to be the Northerners’ Patron and will attend some of our pre match functions. Glenn has enormous respect amongst the North Melbourne family and will be very welcome at our functions. His commitment is appreciated and we look forward to his attendance throughout the season. ”

The Northerners, established in 1967, is the clubs longest serving coterie group, and provides a range of opportunities for supporters to enjoy the football whilst helping us support the North Melbourne Football Club.

“Glenn recognises the important role the Northerners has in the club and by taking on this role of our first patron member will add fantastic support to the coterie. I urge anyone looking to increase their involvement in the club to get on board now as a Northerner and join Glenn Archer in making this our best year ever.”
