Playing the victim doesn't help you either. You made an incorrect post and asked if anyone disagrees so don't act surprised when they do.Those are the facts mate, if you can't handle them don't post in forums.
As for coona_blues suggesting I made a personal attack, it sure seems like he's still feeling the offended from Mitch Thorp not getting drafted by any team in the league last year. Let it go, it wasn't a decision made by the mods or the supposed clique on here to not draft him, stop acting like everyone is out to get you.
What the hell motivates individuals such as you to manipulate everything you do not approve of to some obscure agenda. We first crossed swords over the Thorp debate, yes. Myself and a few others saw him as an option, you and some of your mates depicted him as the anti Christ because he has an ego (like most of us...you obviously included). I have no qualms over him not being drafted by us or anyone else. While on subject I do get aggravated when some of you continue to attack his current form which is in fact very good. You (collectively) latch on to an individual to ridicule, and don't let go. Most of my Thorp posting was in response to the vilification you "arse clowns" (to use uncensored Thylacine vernacular) seem to think you are entitled to.
I have raised issues with the coach, while you of the group think continue to blame players. Interestingly if we were to identify the "love" for our players by the group think brigade, which surfaces after a decent performance, it totally flies in the face of the theory than MM is doing a great job, and it is the players' fault. If the players are so great individually in the mob opinion, why the hell are so many of you blindly expressing approval of Malthouse. I reiterate an earlier point, if MM was carrying on like this at another club, you (of the group think) would be ridiculing him and his club accordingly. Because he is currently "ours" all is forgiven.
We have an excellent group of players, not top 4, but should certainly have performed better through the season. I bristle at the
attacks by you "supporters" in game day threads and the like. Particularly when it is easy to identify structural, and motivational short comings.
I really feel (most of) the Melbournians who engage in regular "tribal warfare" at the grounds, in the pubs, at their workplaces etc adopt a them versus us attitude, and lose the ability to view matters objectively.
I would love to sedately involve myself in the "warm and fuzzy" crap that goes on here with my fellow Blues supporters, to refrain from arguing or conflict......but..... For reasons I would like to think relate to integrity, honesty, logic and social conscience, I find it hard to relate to the bullying that goes on here and the empowerment you glean from each other.
