I think that bloke who played cricket for WA is a supporter. James Bradshaw I think his name is.

Funny

Think Tassie premier David Bartlett is a supporter -either that, or he really rates the team (predicting a premiership in '09, and a 5th placing for this year).

Alicia Molik?

Nah, it doesn't hurt to update the list with any newly discovered celeb supporters, or new celebs who've always supported us. Personally I'm not happy with JW Tsonga's lack of attendance this year. Lift mate LIFT!

The Gobbler?

Definately a North Supporter mate, is quite free with letting everyone know it too. Quite good with his tipping re: us as well. Always seems to pick the upsets.

I reckon you should sticky this thread TT. When I finally get Ms. Portman to buy a membership it'll be a very sticky thread indeed.






Aside: Hi Mrs. Plonk.

The Gobbler?

Leigh Brown's Krispy Kreme addicted brother.

Elle,

Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly. One last thing…

In light of the fact you don’t have an Australian Rules Football Club and given the fact that we proudly play under the National emblem of the Kangaroo, do you think there’d be any chance of becoming a supporter of sorts?

All we’d be after is a photo opportunity with you when you come home provided there is time in your schedule. I understand how busy you are and completely understand if this is out of the question.

Heath.

Dear heath
Thank you for your inquiry...... Alas I'm not particularly a roo fan.
I don't really follow rugby union either ( or league anymore for that matter) many thanks for the kind offer though
Wishing you well

Hi Elle,
I hope you are well.

I am the media/communications manager for the North Melbourne Football Club and have heard through many different sources that you MIGHT in fact be a Kangaroos supporter.

Upon hearing this I was quite excited but of course need to find out whether it’s true…Hence my email!

If you are, we would like to open up the doors to the club and embrace you as a fan.

I understand also that you may be in Australia over the Christmas period and would love the opportunity to talk to you or your management further if possible.

My details are below, thanks so much for your time.

Warm regards,

Heath.

Also - Li Cunxin (the man who wrote the best seller Mao's Last Dancer) is a North member and amazing bloke. He spoke to the boys earlier in the year and has become a very valuable supporter.
