So sorry to see you go, Eugene. You have turned our club around, and made its supporters feel secure that all is being done well down there. Good luck for the future to you and your family. Very upset about this but I hope the club is able to pick itself up after losing you. All the very best.
Peter Bradley
Hey Eugene - you laid a tile at the new club facilities that you secured for all of us. The tile titled "Where I belong" could not be truer and I hope that you can remember it and remain a member of our club. We think it is where you belong. Best wishes, good health and good fortune to you and your family.
Peppi Bueti
Thanks for all your great work Eugene, it was an honour to meet you at Arden Street a year ago and it was clear that you were a passionate Roo. Best wishes to you and your family.
Michael Duraj
Thanks Eugene you'll go down in history as one of the heroes that saved our club, wishing you and your family all the best.
Angelo Herft
Thank you for all that you have done for the NMFC Eugene. You were the most important cog off field this Club has had in over 100 years.
Tony Neilson
Thanks Eugene - an even worse result than on Saturday. Always very impressed with your passion for the job and your willingness to solve menial problems from members. You leave a Mick Nolan sized hole at the club.
Aaron Parfrey
Thanks for the $16 million Aegis Centre Eugene. You were responsible for turning our finances around and for NM to regain control of revenue streams such as merchandise. You were also responsible for the education learning centre (The Huddle) at Aegis Park, community initiatives with Ballarat and Tassie. You also signed up sponsors such as the Scanlon Foundation, who poured their sponsorship dollars into the education learning centre.
Josh Reeve
This club, and everyone in and around it owes you so much. Sorry to see you go but hope it's best for you. I hope you never have to buy a beer at a game because North fans owe you a shout.
Maxine Siemering
Thank you Eugene Arocca for all you have achieved, given & sacrificed for North Melbourne. It was a great day when you joined our small but great club you helped it grow and become a better club for all. Today was a sad day for our club with you leaving - I hope you stay connected with the Kangaroos. I wish you all the best. Thank you.
Peter Tabone
Thank you Eugene for all your efforts in keeping our beloved team alive. Good luck in your future and you're always part of the Roos family.
Janine Terry
Thank you Eugene. You brought a professionalism to our club that will endure for a long time to come. You have achieved so much and we would love to really acknowledge your wonderful efforts. All the best for whatever you do in the future (but please, don't let it be anything to do with Collingwood!!!) Go Kangas!
