Turning Back The Clock - Team Lists 15 Years Ago - Kangaroos
The Kangaroos of today, and the North Melbourne players who were there in 1992.
A look at players who were in some small way similar to what the club has now, these are not direct player comparisons as there were plenty of players who were unique, one-of-kind stars. A fun test to see how many players were memorable from the past team, and how many have been forgotten about.
