An AFL coterie group is a network of like minded business professionals that come together each season to assist their club on and off the field. They achieve this through running pre-match hospitality, networking, assisting the administration in an advisory role, conducting various fundraising tasks, mentoring the players and much more. Members of a coterie group are truly considered to be a part of the inner sanctum of their club and contribute an enormous amount each season.The majority of Victorian based (or former Victorian based) clubs have at least one coterie group. For many years now the President and Secretary of the principle coterie at each AFL Club have held bi-annual meetings in a bid to share knowledge that will enable them individually to grow, develop and be innovative within their respective clubs.In order to build on the great camaraderie and relationships that have formed over many years with reciprocal coteries and to allow the group to collectively grow in presence and stature in the eyes of our their affiliated AFL clubs, the Presidents of each of the Carltonians, Confreres, Essendonians, Halos, Lion Hunters, Melbourne Coterie, Northerners, Pivots, Westerners and Woodsmen were invited to be a part of a new formalised group with the intention of working together to conduct joint fundraising and other initiatives. On the back of that concept, the Heads of Coterie Association Inc (HOCA) was established in 2011 with its founding supporters being the Caltonians, Confreres, Essendonians, Lion Hunters, Northerners and Westerners.The opportunity that HOCA presents for each of the coteries involved is enormous and we hope to grow our activities and events year in year out. Our inaugural Anzac Day Brunch in 2011 saw nearly 750 people attend Crown Palladium for a brunch prior to the Anzac Day clash between Collingwood and Essendon and returned a dividend to all coteries (and through them, clubs) involved.

The Northerners is the only coterie group of the North Melbourne Football Club. It is an incorporated association with the sole aim and objective of supporting the North Melbourne Football Club on and off the field.Established in 1967, the Northerners is about loyalty, commitment, passion and belonging and it provides assistance to NMFC by professional skills, mentoring and financial support and in doing so, the Northerners fosters a networking environment for our business based members and also provides many opportunities for those that simply want to enjoy a day at the footy with family and friends.The Northerners was separately incorporated prior to the 2009 season and since that time has been able to deliver over $550,000 to the North Melbourne Football Club through various initiatives and the implementation of those initiatives by Caroline.For further details, please visit www.northerners.com.au.Caroline finished her tenure with the Northerners at the 2011 AGM of the coterie in January 2012, after 14 years on the committee and 8 years as President.
