JB and Euge - a time to let them know how proud we are

[Chadwiko]

After JB's superb performance on FC tonight, I thought now a prudent time for us as members to give them both some positive feedback.

Here's what I wrote. I'm hoping others will feel as I do and be compelled to write to them.

Dear Mr Brayshaw and Mr Arocca,

My name is Chad, i'm a member based in Adelaide, and I felt compelled to write you this email after watching James Brayshaw's interview on Footy Classified tonight.

I'm 25 years old, and have supported the club since I was a small child. And I can honestly say that I have never been more impressed, or prouder, of our off-field administration team, than I am of you tonight.

It's been clear for a long, long time now that Caroline Wilson has an agenda when it comes to our club and her "journalism". She was vehemently behind the push to have us relocate, and since then, she's been whacking us at any given opportunity.

For James to front up and face her on behalf of the club tonight, and not only that, but defend us with a level of aplomb and professionalism the likes of which we've not seen, speaks volumes of your leadership and your character. You have both done more for this club than anyone could have hoped for, and our future in Melbourne is no doubt secure thanks to you.

Kudos and keep up the good work.

Make sure you get all of your personalities to help you out. Some of the others write quite well.



PS. Agree with the OP, huge performance from the Chairman tonight.

Pot, kettle.

In fairness to _aria_, all of his aliases write the same way. That's how we know it's him.

Oh I don't know about that.

Nonetheless, __aria__ is a freakin' good poster.

James mentioned last week that he wanted our club to get a bit of that 90's swagger back.

Well JB, thanks to your tremendous representation of our club tonight on "Footy Classified" there will be 30,000+ North Melbourne Members walking with a bit of that swagger tomorrow. You were the voice of all of us tonight, against the forces of evil, and I personally can't thank you enough.

Keep up the great work Eugene and yourself are doing a brilliant job!

 

[NICK_ROOBOY83]

JB was simply awesome tonight, his been awesome since been made Chairman.

Euge has been brilliant, the best CEO we have ever had.

Anyone know of a link to watch this again? I want to relive her squirming.

Dear Eugene

As a long-time North member, I was really pleased with the way James Brayshaw represented the club on Footy Classified last night. I was similarly impressed with your comments on SEN this morning, when the arrogant pig Smith shut up long enough for you to get a word in.

I always thought the previous administration did too little to defend the club against media criticism (warranted or otherwise), and it's great to know that the current administration will stand up for North Melbourne against 'journalists' who want to kick the club, either because they are too lazy to get the facts right, or because they have some other agenda to pursue.

Keep up the good work!

 

[jacko57]

Just got an email from Eugene, saying that the support is appreciated.

Class.

Nice work. Like that you worked in the "agenda" of the journos.

Keep 'em coming folks.

Nice
Our administration is world-class, thanks to Euge and JB.

 

[shintemaster]

I won't spam JB and Euge's inbox' as I'm sure they have better things to do however kudos and thanks for not just last night but also over a year now of extremely impressive leadership. It's a long and difficult road however we'll come out the other end stronger than ever.

 

[GoNorth]

I sent Eugene an email earlier in the year just to say THANK YOU for what he and James have done for our great club thus far. Like jacko57, I also received an email from Eugene thanking me for the support, which I didn't expect but truly appreciated.

I will never be able to thank these guys (and the less public heroes such as Ron Joseph and others) enough!

The North Melbourne Football Club is on the verge of a very exciting era and I am very happy to be a part of it.

Dear Eugene ,James and all staff,


I have been a member since i was about 5 years old, i'm now 42 and i have Never heard a bigger peanut carry on like PS the other day. Well done for staying as calm as you were. I thought i had heard just about everything but apparently not! To James well done for what you have achieved so far and your interview on footy classified, it made me so proud. I just wanted to thank you and James and everyone else at the club for the massive Transformation that has happened to date and i feel incredibly privileged to be witnessing something remarkable. Please thank everyone at the club, especially The marketing department for the incredible work they have achieved over the past 2 years. If the club is in need of Volunteers for anything please give me a call and i would be glad to help out, with 20 years in management i should be able to do something.

PS below are the original words for "join in the chorus"

Keep up the great work Guys!
Forget about Carlton's "THEY KNOW WHERE COMING" Because North are "BOUNDING FOR GLORY"




[SIZE=+2]Traditional Scottish Songs[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]- Wee Deoch an Doris [/SIZE]



A convivial song from Sir Harry Lauder. Only a real Scot can properly get his tongue (and his throat) round "It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht."

Wee Deoch an Doris


There's a good old Scottish custom that has stood the test o'time,
It's a custom that's been carried out in every land and clime.
When brother Scots are gathered, it's aye the usual thing,
Just before we say good night, we fill our cups and sing...
Chorus
Just a wee deoch an doris, just a wee drop, that's all.
Just a wee deoch an doris afore ye gang awa.
There's a wee wifie waitin' in a wee but an ben.
If you can say, "It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht",
Then yer a'richt, ye ken.
Now I like a man that is a man; a man that's straight and fair.
The kind of man that will and can, in all things do his share.
Och, I like a man a jolly man, the kind of man, you know,
The chap that slaps your back and says, "Jock, just before ye go..."
Chorus


Meaning of unusual words:
deoch an doris=Gaelic for a drink at the door, a last (?) farewell drink
aye=always
but and ben=a two-roomed cottage
ken=know
