Just taking the time to wish everyone of my readers a Happy New Year.
I know it's a day early but I want to get this out of the way considering that we all have some big plans for next year.
That's right 2012 is going to be huge.
Firstly, we have to make sure that North Melbourne don't go under. The donations are still coming in thick and fast which is awesome.
Secondly, our membership tally is around the 18k mark which is better than this time last year where we only had 10k members.
Most people want to help out which is awesome.
I am looking forward to the start of the footy season and being able to see my team play up here in Ballarat in the NAB Cup.
IT's going to be a game against the Western Bulldogs who are a rival to us.

North Melbourne's Membership Tally Smashed Before Christmas
Wow! Pretty impressive news to hear to report.
To the 15,193 people who have signed up before Christmas North Melbourne say thanks.

To those who haven't bothered to sign up please consider doing so. We don't want to see anyone miss out on watching their team play and possibly make the finals in 2012. We would like to see a huge royal blue and white cauldren at Etihad Stadium with everyone attending.
Let's see if we can double our tally before the NAB Cup starts and then go from there.
Keep the memberships and pledges coming. Everything helps.

North Melbourne Finalises it's list for 2012
Pre Season and Rookie Draft
North Melbourne didn't have any picks in the Preseason draft. We had 5 picks in the Rookie draft.
Pick 10: Max Warren
Pick 28: Brad Mangan
Pick 46: Malcolm Lynch
Pick: 63: Sam Gibson
Pick 77: Gavin Urqhart
Nobody picked up Brendan Fevola or Leon Davis. This doesn't surprise me at all. In fact it's the right call. These people need to bring bums on seats elsewhere at State level or at local level. No doubt about they will but they just don't fit into today's footy.
Am looking forward to when the footy season starts. It's going to be awesome for all of us. Exciting times for North Melbourne. I am pretty happy to say this knowing that it's true and knowing that I am on the same page with the club knowing it's goals and it's needs.
Am over the moon with who North have got on their list. They are just a fantastic team. North Melbourne are awesome and will be awesome. I can smell it.

North Melbourne's Family Day Celebrations
I went to this on Saturday. It was the most awesome thing I had been to. I was happy because I got a photo with a rather cool dude. The North Melbourne Coach Brad Scott. He's awesome and I love him to bits. So glad he's the coach of the team that I barrack for.
It was very hot and humid outside but we all had a ball and it was awesome for everyone.
I got some pics but they weren't that great.
I will publish the one of Brad Scott and myself cuddling up to eachother.
Brad was happy to have his photo taken. It made me feel great to have my pic taken with him as well. Nice guy too. Have got a lot of respect for both Brad and his identical twin brother Chris who is the coach of Geelong.
I reckon both twins are top blokes.
I will tell you something. Keep reading.
Brad Scott signed me up as a North Melbourne member when he got the job. He wanted me to support him. I have and I am still backing him up all the way.
Yes he has his haters and yes you all have your own opinions on Brad Scott but please when you are talking to me on twitter, facebook or google+ about Brad Scott and his twin bro Chris make sure that you don't be negative about them to me.
Just like to say thanks to North Melbourne Footy Club for allowing me to travel all the way from Ballarat to Melbourne for the day. Had the time of my life.
Carn the mighty Roos!

AFL's decision to Take Over North Melbourne Rejected 4 years ago
That's right you heard me. North Melbourne didn't want to relocate to the Gold Coast. This has proven to be an awesome move because the club has not only improved but they have got the right people on board helping them out to move onwards and upwards.
The AFL had plans to take North Melbourne over and the worst thing about it was they had to relocate to the Gold Coast which meant that we would have had no members, and not many people wanting to relocate with the club up to the Gold Coast.
Sure we would have had a lot of positives but we really need to be a club that stands on our own two feet. That's what really matters. Sure the AFL would have helped us out but we really needed things to go our way. So the decision was rejected.
As a North Melbourne supporter that decision makes me really happy. Happy due to the fact that I get to see my team train and play up here in Ballarat. Happy that I get to catch a train down to Melbourne and get to go their Family Days, and any games I want to during the year.
If the club had of accepted the decision of moving and relocating to the Gold Coast I probably wouldn't have signed up as a member. It would have disappointed me greatly.
Whilst North have got a hell of a lot of haters bagging the crap out of us to this day, I am sure that you wouldn't want to have what North are currently going through right now.
Today is important for the club as this decision was rejected 4 years ago to the day.
I can gladly say that my 3rd year membership is coming as it has been paid for along with the $25 donation to the club has been paid for.
That's more than what all of North Melbourne's haters will pay.
To the haters go and put your money where your mouth is. Lift a finger. Do your bit to help the club out.

Negative Footy fans
I am going to let you all in on a massive secret. That massive secret is that I have been abused by a few people on twitter, facebook and on an online forum.
These people who I won't mention ever again are abusive morons.
I dare you to have a look at http://www.twitter.com/roospremiers11 account and see what this person is saying. I reported that account along with the disgraceful comments to twitter.
Then on the limboclub forum (i know it's a disgusting place) I am getting abused by an idiot who is known as Roddy Woomble on there. He's also known as Jaymin. He emailed me an abusive email today because he thought I was spamming him.
I reported him to hotmail.
Why am I getting abused? I don't really want to have to put up with your childish and immature crap.
