Sir Richard sends his regards to you all.

He really makes you want to go out and buy a hundred more memberships.

hehe, another cry for members. Somehow I see it being a little more effective when people can see what he's putting into the club himself.

I love the way he acknowledges our wonderful past, but also talks about the future and people working together.

Compare that to the Smorgon/Rose stuff we used to get... "We're worse than Fitzroy"... "Sign up or we'll fold"... "Woe is us"...

Chalk and Cheese.

Well done Dick - you know how to sell our club. Smorgon / Rose were idiots. "But a membership or we are history" was the only message they knew.

You sell us hope and inspiration - you have started the right way - keep it going!!!!

He didnt mention anything about a 3 year rolling plan - ya know the 3 year plan that rolls for ever? Or that we'd maybe push for the finals in 09?

Should we be worried :?

He did mention the word Unite though - Unity i like the sounds of that - top word Unity

Say it Unity , Unity , Unity - Should be word of the day.

:lol: :lol:

Hmm...yeah its a good letter, but if only he'd mentioned Murphy's marks??

On a serious note, this is great to see - proactive, positive and to the point. It does make you think the club is going in the right direction and does make you want to go and buy a membership.

Does anyone find it ironic that it took a Dick to stop the cock-ups?

What a difference in approach while effectively trying to achieve a similiar outcome. :-D

Love the wording below Teen Spirit, intended or not :lol:

If Dick Pratt wrote that letter, Lance Whitnall is anorexic. :wink:
The most important thing is that positive messages are finally coming out of the club. They are selling a bright future which is what we've been craving for a few years..
Great stuff Carlton.
