Victorian Premier Ben Carroll has made his first official visit to Arden Street as premier of the state, returning to the home ground of his beloved North Melbourne Football Club.
This is Political Football – a series from 7NEWS where Alex Cullen talks sport with Australia’s highest profile politicians to find out who they barrack for – and why.
The victories, the heartbreak, and how the lessons learnt supporting their team has steeled them for the rough and tumble of public life.
In the first episode, Carroll, a lifelong Kangaroos supporter, meets with players including George Wardlaw and Harry Sheezel, has lunch with coach Alastair Clarkson, and reflects on his decades of supporting the club through premierships and difficult periods.
This episode was filmed before North Melbourne coach Alistair Clark was sacked by the club on September 2, 2026.
