You've been told wrong and the story has been twisted many times over. Did you know JB was originally in favour of GC?

That's it?
This is what the fuss is all about.
FFS, I have better things to do. Bye.

Given the amount of trauma dished out to Melbourne supporters through their football over the last few years, I would assume that this is par for the course.
Biggest joke in the AFL? That's easy.
Convincing yourselves that you have the best young talent in the AFL, then losing 8 times in a row to a team with far superior young talent and CONTINUING to spruik your inferior players all over BigFooty.
Not enough? Try recruiting a tall forward that has the bone structure of a 14 year old anaemic at Pick 1, who was surpassed by Jurrah, the bloke with the worst haircut in the AFL, before Jurrah had played 5 games. Must also suck that Jurrah was a relative unknown from the bush that you paid a rookie pick for.
And if that's not enough, try recruiting an amazingly talented player, getting one year out of him, then losing that player to a soulless, AFL-run franchise for the love of money.

Fuss? It's a laugh at JB and Norf thread- no fuss.
JB is by far the most incompetent president in the AFL as has been shown. I feel sorry for De Rauch and Wheadon that ACTUALLY DID return the club to the members only for them to declare they want to be lead like sheep and pronounce JB Mugabe to second coming. It's like a scene from Monty Python.
The laughs will keep coming throughout the week I expect.

Let's hit the f*ken road!
Looks like Mugabe Brayshaw has been up to more shenanaghins.

That sounds like another excellent reason to vote for de Rauch instead of Brayshaw.
de Rauch being a savvy businessman probably recognized a golden opportunity when he saw it hence he backed the GC deal, which would have guaranteed Norf's survival.
Brayshaw rejected it, yet has Norf's odds of surviving on its own two feet actually gone up since he became president? Given how little we know of Norf's financial situation I'm skeptical, and when you factor into account Brayshaw/Arrocca's inability to reduce its debt (even with the aid of AFL handouts) its hard not to be pessimistic.
But from a marketing standpoint you've got to hand it to Brayshaw.
He really seems to have most of Norf's posters on this board well and truly fooled, singing his praises regardless of whatever shonky stuff he pulls.
It honestly wouldn't surprise me if he manages to come up with some technicality or clause to prevent de Rauche's name from appearing on the ballot. Mugabe indeed.

A Norf fan in my office has heard rumours that JB Mugabe will resign before the election - Anytime from tonight to Wednesday. Not sure when it will be announced. Apparantely De Rauche has uncovered some dirt and a deal has been struck.

Pretty scathing criticism from Holyoak.
Really does sound like Brayshaw is drunk on his own power and is out of control, making decisions autonomously without consulting anyone else.
Wednesday's AGM could get ugly.

Holyoak is a knob.
He basically got all up in arms about this all because of two changes to the ToTC.

Like another idiot in this thread, you're suggesting that the independent auditor is either incompetent, or is corruptly complicit in hiding the financial picture? A slippery slope for you..........
As to the debt, as usual, you're talking crap. Several posters have recently explained on other threads that, while the club has achieved a trading profit in each of the last three years, the total debt has increased, due to outlays on the Arden St development. (Do you know what assets are?)

A knob? It has been supporters like Holyoak that have saved Norf.
The Brayshaw ticket are certainly good at using their media contacts for the purpose of character assassination. That and the average Norf supporter is the most gullible creature alive.
Holyoak and the others are far more concerned with JB Mugabe's dictatorship. As you should be.

The target was set knowing full well about the Arden St redevelopment. Using that as an excuse is a cop out. Norf obviously expected to make far more revenue/profits elsewhere which did not eventuate. Either they are incredibly mismanaged or have no idea how to prepare a budget. Incompetence either way but I can only expect more excuses and cover-up.
Holyoak was part of the Vichy rump that wanted to sell our club to the AFL in 2007. If he's anti Brayshaw, all the more reason to want to see Brayshaw stay in the job.

Assuming Brayshaw will go to almost any lengths to protect his brother's place on the board (and keep de Rauch out) is it actually conceivable that he might attempt to fix the numbers in his brother's favor if it looks like de Rauch is pulling ahead?
I realize this sounds rather outlandish, but given Brayshaw's attempt to move the AGM to invalidate de Rauch's proxies, send out fresh proxies with only his team's names on them, and change the constitution to do away with that final seat, it almost looks like he's tried everything else he can get away with to ensure his brother's re-election.
"Tweaking" the actual numbers themselves would be the logical final step if he intends to continue down this path.

Not at all. I'm happy to insinuate it but at this stage neither of us can provide evidence either way so what's the point srguing further.
I do notice you managed to ignore the main point of my post and again avoided explaining why Norf have increased debt (without the BS excuses please).
