I prefer Gestapo officer it sounds more formal.
There's a difference between blatant trolling and having a joke in a thread, this thread was made to get a rise out of people and I stand by that. This isn't the only time it's happened. I prefer posts from people like Obese Arachnid who are actually rather witty with their jokes and don't go out with the aim to annoy people.

This is what BBB said after as well....
"you got it all wrong mate, maxwell has the magic finger, he points it and shit happens. Don't matter he can't defend or kick. He has the finger.
oh and he also has the flailing arms.. don't underestimate the damage the flailing arms inflict on the opposition"...Forum comedy gold if you ask me.. this is not trolling... he doesn't like Maxwell and he goes about expressing it in a funny way... Not sure how can you can get so upset about this to want the guy banned?

 

[ksardog]

I blame Maxwell. Time for him to go.
Let Pendlebury lead the right way.
His time is over

I blame buckley, maxwell isnt a key defender, he is a third tall backman. Keeffe had to play. End of story

Congratulations you quoted a post which was after when I posted, that one I do admit was funny but I just didn't like the initial post (which has now been edited) because it was specifically designed to get a rise out of people and he's been doing that a lot, my point is there is a difference between a post made in jest and an obvious troll post. I actually didn't mind BBB till recently when he started to these troll posts. Anyway lets just end this conversation now because it seems like we're not going to find any middle ground.

 

[loki04]

He did play like shit though in all facets of the game.

Not to blame but a bit of honesty from his fan club wouldn't hurt.

Only one trolling here is you.

 

[Bring_Back_Brad]

Huh?

That was a stock performance out of Maxwell.

Yes agree.

He's playing one of the best seasons of his career, and his first game back from injury playing a mismatch ... And you reckon it's time for him to go???

He's had two good games when he was left to play loose. It was poor coaching by the opposition.
The rest have been average.
His cycle of injury and poor performance has been going on since 2011.

You do know that Pendlebury is our club captain?

Yes I do, what I'm saying is that maxwell thinks he's still captain and is trying to run the team his own way as shown by his disrespect on field to fasolo, the incident that I believe has triggered our downfall. It's Pendles team and he would never behave this way, maxwell needs to get out of the team so Pendles can bring back some respect and unity to the group. The crazed finger pointerer is destroying our club he needs to go.

Question for the OP - Is it Maxwell's fault we lost the game on Sunday or is it his fault we have lost four of our last five games?

 

[Bring_Back_Brad]

I think you're pointing the finger at the wrong bloke BBB. Pies won a flag under the guile of the magic finger and flailing arms, this fact cannot be disputed.

The magic finger is a myth, it's a fairy tale.
Maxwell was carried to a flag, by a team of talented players.
Anyone on the inside of the club will tell you the players just humoured maxwell and let him do his finger pointy thing to make himself feel important but end of the day it was unnecessary and embarrassing more than anything.

He's been the cancer in the club the past 3 years, and has destroyed us completely this year.

Not to blame but a bit of honesty from his fan club wouldn't hurt.

Giving 20kg and 15cm as an isolated fullback when the midfield doesn't give a yelp isn't easy work.

Add to the fact he stuffed his ankle, it was his first game back from injury...sorta explains why he was shit yeah?

Maybe if your messiah was awake to how to structure up a side, it wouldn't have been such an issue

Didn't he get injured in the St Kilda game? Up until then we were going alright.

He's made it acceptable to turn on your own teammates and publicly humiliate them them when the pressure is on. Team psychology, unity is a delicate thing and with the fasolo incident he's planted a cancerous seed that has been growing since and now we are suddenly one of the shittest teams in the comp.

Didn't the coach turn on Witts? Surely he sets the culture and would be more responsible than Maxwell.

Well when maxwell did it everyone chuckled and crapped on about what great leadership it was including bucks. Next he thinks he'll have a go at it cos it worked on fasolo right, then side bottom has a go and suddenly we are the shittest team in the comp. Buckley is to blame too but it started with maxwell we got to get rid of him and Buckley can follow if he can't make intelligent decisions at selection and coach the team properly.
Public berating of your own team mates to spark them to action is a cheap, weak, and unintelligent approach and now we are seeing the true results of it. Got to get him out once and for all and start rebuilding the trust and unity in the team. Enter pendlebury.

You are an absolute dumb campaigner BBB

Pendlebury did publicly berate his team mates last year when he called them cheats. Surely this is also a form of bullying?

No that was not the same thing

 

[ottoman]

Quick question for you triple B
Public berating is wrong in your opinion.
Is a piledrive in the privacy of the change rooms ok.

Should Bux have piledriven Witts in the changerooms. And if this is ok surely you would like to see it.

 

[Magpie Girl]

Damned if you do and damned if you don't!

Many are complaining the team is playing without spirit, or passion and yet those that are trying to spur their teammates on are vilified.

And nothing goes unnoticed these days, unless they're behind a closed door in the change rooms!

Of course wrestling moves are ok in the privacy of the changerooms.. was standard practice back in my day and is just what we need to harden these boys the F@ck up!. Bucks would need a stepladder to piledrive Witts though so I think a suplex into a massage table followed up with a steel chair over the head would be a more appropriate coaching technique for a big fella like Witts.

Actually I like the idea of a stepladder assisted piledrive. Would be quite a sight.

 

[Rohan25]

I'm just at a loss why he was even sent back out in the second half when he was clearly injured. Seeing him barely able to jog in the last quarter of a game we were obviously going to lose by ten goals was baffling.
