I don't think anyone says you can't criticise the club, many do. But obviously what you say (negative or positive) will get a reaction. If someone responds to you in a respective way I don't see the problem. Isn't that what the board is about? Someone posts, someone replies.Not much wrong with the board.
The only small issue I have is the fact that we can’t criticise the club rightfully in some cases.
It was instructive to read a bit of the Crows site yesterday. It is clear a number of posters there have been raising concerns about the Admin and Footy department most of the year. Equally clear they have copped it for being critical from those that refuse to countenance their Club can do no wrong.
I think we are more balanced. I don't think there are the same fault lines between critics and defenders here.
Every year the Crows don't win a flag the Crows board want to sack someone from their club. You can set your watch to it.
so, maybe the mods can let me know... am i allowed to argue that alex johnson should be delisted yet or is that still considered trolling?
In this case they seem justified. Most years it seems they lose a very good player. Burton, Pyke and the AFC Board seem whack jobs.
Oh stop it.
Are you familiar with the story of the boy who cried wolf?
That's a fairly moderate response from you.
I'm all good, happy to move on from it. Australia is such a great country where we can change social direction, prime ministers, and we just shrug our shoulders and get on with it. We're pretty blessed to be living here i reckon.
Yep. Fair point. Tho if I had the misfortune to support the Crows, I would be appalled at the behaviour of the Club and its footy department to their players.
Whatever our criticisms of Mule and Harley, none of us could believe they would orchestrate and subject Bloods players to some Lord of the Flies, Duntroon hazing.
Not at all surprising mtooler that you were attacked for that. The site owner only appoints mods with a left leaning attitude like his. There are a few mods in particular who will actually suspend you for stating those beliefs even when you haven't breached the rules. Big footy is worse than the ABC. That's why I only come here when the trade news starts heating up.I agree about the same sex vote thread becoming absolutely vicious and personal attacks against a few of us game enough to have an opinion about being a no voter. Shouldn't have been allowed to continue in that fashion, was left unchecked.

Yeah was pretty horrible. I have no problem that someone might disagree with me....but it crosses the line when holding a different opinion makes me a target for vicious vilification. One poster even insisted I be convinced to his viewpoint otherwise he would continue to persecute me because people like me don't deserve to exist.
M Tooler, Puke and Opts,
I think a lot of people have had enough of people who subscribe to any religion telling them what they can and cannot do.
Three points.
From memory of that debate it was impassioned both ways but not over the top.
Personally I am opposed to any form of marriage authorised by the State or by an institution aligned to a religion. The referendum obviously posed a conundrum for me.
I think the silent majority who are not religious need to be more active in contending with those who subscribe to religious belief systems and their institutions. The Catholic Church's opposition obliging priests taking confession from under age unless there is an adult there in sightline for example is odious.
The mods did the right thing moving the debate out of the footy threads into the Bar.
