James 'Mugabe' Brayshaw's Dummy Spit

[Daicos Mullets]

Great call.



I know people who sit near JB at North home games, apparently he and Arocca are A-grade dicks with tickets on themselves who don't give a stuff about the grassroots fans they pretend to be working for.

The North administration is in the worst possible place it could be - neither cold-blooded and professional like the Hawthorn board, nor grass roots and family oriented like a small club needs. No wonder they're still on welfare.

Arocca was a lifelong Pies fan before moving to Norf. I have long suspected he's just a plant to bring down Norf from the inside, thus doing the AFL & everyone else (the 17 Norf supporters excluded) a massive favour.

Biff WTF lol Unless you are refering to Bradroo...then carry on

Obvious BradRoo reference DR, relax

I haven't been reading to much in NMFC election for I'm not fussed who gets the nod. I have the simple view that on field success will help the club fixing the problems it has......membership and attendances. Debt is debt....it doesn't matter who is on the board its another problem the club needs to address.

You are a smart man, my thoughts exactly. Sending them around the countryside to play games is not going to help onfield and thus not going to help the club.

You mustn't have gotten the memo though, DR, seeing as you are the only North supporter to respond in 27 posts

Comrade Dan Roo - got it in one.

I am really looking forward to the Norf election, not so much for the associated shennanigans and what not - the real interest will be the Norf board when Meltdown Mario / Damir Roo / Tampon Dean / WOBSTacle goes nuts at his fellow supporters. If they don't fall in line with his goose-step (well), he goes to DefCon 1

Sadly, the rules prevent direct quotes, but the shrieking has already commenced on the Norf Board in various threads. Before too long, the capitalisation of comments, exclamation marks and acidic PMs will be flying about like there's no tomorrow.

Damir Roo never has any water in his radiator at the best of times, whereas Dame Nellie is more brittle than a violet crumble. If I were an impressario from Imperial Rome, it would be good fun to match them up in a gladiatorial bout: retiarius v murmillo (of the female variety). No matter: soon enough they will be at each other's throats at the AGM and we, the audience, will be the beneficiaries.

Biffinator.

DR's a good poster and may be the only Norf fan honest with himself about their current position. Also seems remarkably stable for a Norf fan and refreshingly self-effacing at times.

I've noticed a few other Norf fans been creeping into other threads since their disappearance but, surprisingly, none have made their way here. The party line mail out mustn't have arrived. Confusion will have their ego's ripping apart at the seams.

This is getting worse by the day.

The latest http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/kangaroos-quit-threat-claim/story-e6frf9jf-1226004799382

NORTH Melbourne board candidate Peter de Rauch says James Brayshaw warned him he would quit as club chairman along with "half the board" if the former director persisted with his election bid.
The revelation came as a former Kangaroos president yesterday declared that Brayshaw was not up to the job.
"The last person I want running the place is James Brayshaw, I know that," Lloyd Holyoak said.
De Rauch told the Herald Sun Brayshaw called him early last month and said he would walk away if his brother Mark was toppled in the election.
"He was trying to talk me out of nominating. He said that if his brother wasn't elected, which means if I beat his brother, he'd step down and half the board would step down, and (chief executive) Eugene (Arocca) would probably step down, too," de Rauch said.
"'That's what he actually said. There was no yelling and screaming, it was just straight-out direct."

Brayshaw is clearly not up to it.

All JB needs is a Red Nose and a big pair of shoes to complete his outfit

The Norf board makes for funny reading at present.


It seems that plenty of Norf supporters are starting to think that JB "has run his race"

 

[The Mighty Boosh]

Yeah, in all honesty I reckon JB was great for Norf bringing much needed positive publicity and as a rally point against their relocation. Not sure if I agree with it but he did the job most Norf fans wanted and did it well.

Unfortunately, he's not fit to run an organisation like Norf.

If he really loved the club he'd acknowledge this and remain merely a figure head and media mouthpiece and let the big boys run the business.

The impression I have is that it's gone to his head and he thinks he's big Ed. He isn't half the man Eddie is (literally and figuratively) and his massive ego will only bring Norf down undoing any good work he's done.

All true.

There are aspects of the election I'm not happy about. De Rauch shouldn't have tried to pull a swifty, then whinge via the media when it didn't work out for him. Brayshaw is free to endorse candidates, but shouldn't be making threats or disparaging remarks via the media about any other candidates.

But I am getting some amusement from how excited the various flogs here are about the prospect that the election will somehow cause North to implode.

When that doesn't happen, they'll revert to 'Norf should of gone to the Gold Coast' and 'Youse will be dead inside a year'.

And we know it will really tear at their guts when the team that 'should of gone to the Gold Coast' beats their various mobs this year.

It's about giving yourselves the best chance possible. Brayshaw isn't the man to do that- he's a figurehead. Pronounce him the 'King of Norf' or something to appease his ego and then let the big boys deal with the business.

You can be straightforward at times Jacko but you're still pointing the finger at deRauch here when the election farce began early on with Mugabe.

Admit it- he's done his dash and isn't bright or mature enough to lead Norf further.

No I can't.

 

[Spurk]

Some of you little runts should get some fresh air.

The remarkable progress that North has made since Brayshaw stepped up to save the club is just that, remarkable. He saved the club from enemies then as well as from itself. Not much has changed in his outlook.

It's a boys club? Well guess what, there are brothers on the board and yes, the board is cohesive and are all men that have accomplished a hell of a lot in a short period.

Obviously this board is in the process of achieving huge things and without the apathy of the Victorian public would have a boutique stadium being constructed that will one day cement the clubs future.

To have a very successful board shaken up at this stage could be just what the club doesn't need while beginning to reap the rewards of 4 years of excellence.

If Brayshaw wants to dictate how things are done, that's fine with me, for now. Obviously getting a spot on North's board at the moment would be desirable as the whole club is soon to reap big rewards for quality in recruiting and sowing many seeds off-field.

For all people know, this 7 games in Tas proposal could have been designed to be rejected for other reasons. Labor was a hot favourite to win the election and this step was, is and will be the key to Norths destiny. Will still happen one day, but has temporarily thrown a spanner in the works. Regardless of Brayshaw's cringeworthy handling of some of these events, his record is unbelievable and deserves to run the club as he sees fit for now.

It's a wonder there's not more North people wanting in on what will become a successful decade for the club. This decade could easily see Premiership success and the club cemented and permanently viable. If shit needs to be done to protect the founders and direction of this budding empire, so be it.

Another case of people becoming victims of their own success and JB will learn some lessons about street smarts.

 

[The Mighty Boosh]

No I can't.

Just when I thought that besides DR another Norf supporter would put their hand up and say "I'm not and idiot" we get a standard Norf deflection.

Still no other Norf supporters commenting on your Presidents immature and egotistical behaviour?




P.S. Nice strightforward reply

Love your choice of terminology and you've obviously no problem with the 'Mugabe' tag. JB will hopefully learn "street smarts" so next election he rigs he won't cop the bad publicity.

Don't you think the fact he's deemed to have 'returned the club to it's members' then a little hypocritical when the next thing he does is try to unconstitutionally remove power from said members and cement his place as dictater of a new empire.

In all seriousness though I just can't think of any successful and respected leader that is so ignorant. As I said, make him the 'King of Norf' but he's not the leader to resurrect your club.

JB is like a care-taker coach that talks the talk and builds a team that has the potential to succeed. He aint no match day coach though and needs to take a step back.

Also, the way deRauch has been crucified by Norf fans is despicable. Despite what has been said he has been a lifelong supporter and contributor to Norf and has done more for the club than you or Brayshaw has over the years. Some respect is due. It is a concern that Mugabe doesn't feel he could lead a team of anyone but his appointed buddies and is scared of scrutiny of the board- perhaps things aren't as rosy as he pretends. One new board member will not affect the balance of the pro-Brayshaw board and will probably contribute positively toward Norfs future success. Mugabe runnning from something that may make them a little more accountable should be a concern at Norf and not brushed under the carpet at the expense of deRauch's good name.

Yeah and what's your point? Who are you again?

Anyway Sally,

McGuire and Kennett **** up weekly, just goes with the territory.

JB will get there, just getting his feet.

 

[kwame]

Yes, when you take away the dishonest, unethical and disdainful way in which Brayshaw has treated Norf fans and the club it just reeks of immaturity. I couldn't imagine Stynes or any other president behaving in such a manner.

i know for a fact that north are in a much worse state than they are letting on

Hence Brayshaw's desperate fumbling and dishonest attempts at shielding the board from scrutiny and accountability? He's got Arocca and M. Brayshaw as advisors so it's no wonder they're in the shit.

That's the thing though - you're all buying into Brayshaw's ego trip that he's of the same class as Eddie and Jeff. Fact is he is not and will not be - no matter how long you give him.

Do you know PDR? Or are you just bored, bittling bullshit on your flaptop?

Suggest you get a hobby other than worshipping the Roos.

Your signature (Why aren't communists/socialists treated the same as Nazis?) indicates a firm belief in the democratic process. I'd be interested to hear about your take on the Mugabe dictatorship at Norf.

Ah... So the official party line is to not discuss the problem and deflect under any circumstances.

Why can't a supporter of another team interested in Norfs fate not comment on and question the news reported about their election? Are you too afraid of scrutiny?

How is the NMFC a dictatorship.All members get to vote,the candidates with the most get on the board.

As for the rest of your inane,pathetic ramblings about the club I support,I suggest some type of therapy.
Start with setting fire to your computer

Nice deflection. I may have used provocative wording but surely you grasped the point and can't be as ignorant as you pretend.

What are your thoughts on James "Mugabe" Brayshaw's attempts at undermining the democratic process at Norf? His unconstitutional attempt at reducing the number of board members? His unethical manipulations and threats to achieve his desired result - a board stacked with his yes men. His ego will not accept a challenge to his power and he does not have Norf's interests first and foremost. He has treated the Norf fans and democratic process with contempt.

Unfortunately Beryl, it's more a case of '****' or GTFO.

If the club needs scrutiny pal, you'll hear it from me.

This whole process has had reasons for this, reasons for that. Hasn't been handled very well as a new process but means sfa in the long run.

Everyone involved will learn from this and not sure bay 13 is the place for more of your whiney crap, especially when politics is involved.
