Bluemour Melting Pot XX - Snark Free Zone

[LouderNowBlue]

"Did you fight in the posting wars dad?" They ask

"Yes" I say, scruffing my offsprings hair "I served on the Blumour front... we lost good posters out there"

"The flaming was so hot that sometimes the whole board would melt, and all you could see were ignored posters and angry quotes"

"What happened in the end, dad?"

"We won, kiddo, we got the lot"

I look away, a part of me is still there, posting from my bed, alone, but somehow, still mad.

“It’s getting late kids” I say.

“It’s time to get some sleep you have school in the morning”.

“Ok Dad. We love you” They beam.

“I love you too Thylacine junior, Harker junior and MEB Junior”.

As I make my way down the hall I hear a door slowly open. I look back...

“Hey Dad”

“Yes Thylacine junior?”

“Don’t yell at umpires”

“Go to bed you little shit”.

Time to hit the showers Macca.

Too late.

 

[HBF]

Don't get paranoid. I'd talk to you if I could see you down there.

Always with the short jokes......
ferrisb and i are offended.

The sense of entitlement on this board is out of control. People share info they have and even if it's correct if it's what people don't want to hear they get slammed. Then if something changes they get slammed, then if it doesn't happen fast enough it gets slammed.

If you work yourself up into such a frenzy that it makes you this upset, maybe you shouldn't read this thread.

My understanding is that we will get three deals done tomorrow, but it's impossible to know for certain due to the number of other clubs and moving pieces involved.

I'm done sharing info as there is literally no upside, enjoy the rest of trade week.

Stuff em TCP........because like you said.....if you don`t like this thread and cannot handle things changing then do not read it.......life is never 100% exact, so just enjoy the ride & thanks for the info and keep it coming for us "true believers"..............

 

[Blue_Virus]

Looking forward to seeing the 3 new blues rolled out in the coming days. SOS will be dangerous sitting there for a couple of days with a future 1st dangling in the face of some unsuspecting prey.

Sorry to read this TCP.

Some posters on here are like spoilt little brats.

FFS they need to understand that everything in life is not about them (appreciate what people pass on to them) and grow TF up!!!!

 

[No1Suspect]

Goes both ways. An ITK said something that didn't pan out 100% so it's ok to have a fit about it and rage-post online? Ignore it. Without the few willing to share what they are told, we are left with the mainstream footy journos doing the same thing but with blue check marks anyway, so what's the difference? At least with these posters we get to hear something from a different source or angle.

Footy is entertainment. Rumours are entertaining. This shouldn't be a pi**ing contest and I have no idea why some take it to heart so much at the potential expense of everyone else. It's selfish and childish.

A-bloody-men.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Thy's dungeon?

Nobody has ever made it out. What goes on in there?

 

[SolGoodman]

Some perspective from my position.

I’m fortunate and privileged to sometimes hear things of relevance. When I do, I consider whether to post on TC, and more recently on BF as well.

If it’s exciting and good news, I’m a chance to share it with other passionate Blues supporters. If it’s negative I generally don’t share.

If I post, I then I need to ensure that I don’t give any indication of where I’ve heard the info from, or compromise the privilege that I have. I’m privileged to receive it and I treat it as such.

It doesn’t matter whether I have a thick skin or not, on a very personal level I want to continue hearing the info I do. I’m not going to cop shit for sharing what I hear.

I risk my access to information each and every time that I post inside info.

I don’t ever look at “likes”. If I did, my post count on BF would be much higher given I joined BF in 2004, lived through the Essendon drug saga, and have now posted less than 10 times.

I get info and sometimes I share, nothing more and nothing less.

You're a champion mate, and for the 99% of us, we absolutely appreciate everything you and the rest of the ITKs do and always will.

Thank you, OR.

I am officially giving our resident in the know posters 24 hours to deliver good news on the trade front, otherwise I will completely obliterate their economy as is my right.

 

[Opine]

cats and eagles do a deal for a young superstart with multiple picks involved and we still havent done a deal for 33 year old betts with one very low pick.

Makes one wonder why that’s the case. I think there might be extenuating circumstance relating to the players we are targeting.

In Betts case, the Crows still don’t have a coach; that might have an impact on the ability to shore up a deal as swiftly as it otherwise might.

In Martin‘s case, his current club has just received one the largest assistance commitments in modern AFL history; there might be a line in the sand moment taking place, at least publicly.

As for Paps, there’s the issue of having to work around Essendon who have previously been regarded as difficult to deal with when trading.

Ask Jeremias
He's been in there for years.
Must have some internet access down there.

Are you questioning me ... Reese Witherspoon? Poor form Simmo.

I am actually the ball.

Common mistake

10 years to the day I joined BF.

Seems some posters now feel a need to pick fights to get themselves a reputation or some sort of reaction tally, there really isn’t any need to do so.

Contribute to the melting pot that this place is and you will find your way without having to resort to the worst excesses of social media.

If you don’t like some aspects, please don’t spoil it for the rest of us. Living so far from the club, this place helps me feel connected and adds to the experience of supporting the club. Would hate to lose the little snippets of inside information because the need for instant gratification outweighs the ability to use some manners and show some decorum. While we are more anonymous than Facebook, we can’t pretend that what we say doesn’t matter when we attack others.

The anticipation and hope of good things about to happen at this time of year brings out the crazy in people, it is like Christmas Eve on speed. Just let it happen when it does and enjoy the moments that give supporters hope.

Disappointed that we continue to lose posters that add value to this place over petty point scoring.

 

[RoyalParade]

Remember the poster coach16?

Reminds me of president 19

 

[Treesloth]

I would genuinely like some of you lot to get an actual look at the machinations that go into these deals/trades/swaps/pick-splits/upgrades etc - do yers have any idea how many people are involved with these things? how many aspects of a person's life are affected? from every part of a player's partner's life through to the myriad of calls that need to be made once an offer to change clubs is made? property, schooling, career opportunities for partners, family of origin, medical issues, the sad little kids to placate, on and on...……….

Sure a lot of this stuff is done after the deal goes through, but there still remains a shitload of decisions to be made and it would rarely happen that things aren't held up by just a single, simple thing like someone that needs the ok she can get a posting interstate with her job, or a school admission issue or perhaps the property market is tighter than expected.

Then there's the stuff that goes on between the players, managers, coaches and list managers. The stuff that no-one hears about. The complex deals on picks, the tele-conferencing that doesn't happen because Justin is bogged at Westlakes and has not much to deal with anyway.

Hiccups, hold-ups, hang-ups, egos, stubborn fools, greedy guys, people's lives, careers, education, housing, family, medical - also footy. Please just remember you clowns, you galoots, you festering goobers - this ain't easy and this ain't no disco...…...

Festering goobers is brilliant

 

[Stamos]

I am all for bans for people who verbally abuse others or make arguments personal, but for people with differing opinions etc should not be fearful of getting a ban


On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

A lot of good posters (ie those who bring us good information) have been driven away, and those who still post here have all complained about the exact same thing.

We’re all better off if those who make this thread a worse place (whether through personal attacks, or often otherwise) are thread-banned.

Won't get alot considering it will be Pick 18 or higher depending on compensation and academy picks.
