Preview Rnd 4 - Carlton v GC Sunday 14th April 2.40PM @ Metricon Stadium - Final Team - Post #1332

[Macca43]

I am looking forward to hearing about the "only won 4 games in the past 36" stories, next week.

Exactly, not to mention the Carlton only won because the Suns were rubbish and what a terrible standard the game was (even if both teams kick 200 points).

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Eskie's all over the "que" words Robbo. Verified in a dictionary.

****ing google. I’ll never trust it again.

By the way have you ever heard of the sayings ‘Every dog has its day’, ‘He/She who laughs last, laughs loudest’.

I will have my day Sherlock, Love Moriarty.

Feel if we can get a good win it’ll give us a huge confidence boost, and hopefully get on a roll

You know, can’t start a fire with out a spark

All I said was I wouldn't write him off yet. Then the agendas start. Look for a negative and you can always find one

I also said we do need to look for another ruck

Lol here we go with the agendas. Its an agenda to attempt to bring some realism to your claims.

ALL of us would love to see 2017 Matty for the next 3 years. Given yet again he jas missed all of the preseason games and 4 rounds of the season, the SAME story is repeated as most of his career. To suggest his history is irrelevant is absolutely ludicrous.

It drives me mad on here that it almost seems illegal to be concerned about an issue (in some people's eyes). I know there are a few trolls, and they should just be ignored. There are a vocal few who have shot down any criticism of the club for the last almost 10 years that I have read this sub.

Its ok for someone to be concerned about an issue without it being some tin foil hat conspiracy.

I am stoked with a lot of things our club has done. I am worried about a few things. Perspective and balance is all we can ask in a public forum.

Being entirely negative or blindly positive until the point of absurdity are both as bad as eachother.

 

[Blue Chip Pass]

I hope we can replicate Melbourne's feat and get up for our first win.
Otherwise, we'll all be even more sad and nasty about our non-performing players.
I also agree with many of you, the concerns regarding our RUCK.
It is a big problem. Hope Kruezer can quell this concern.

I'll happily take it

Is it? How is it said? Its an internet forum without the ability to accurately convey tone. Concerns seem to be taken as a personal attack for some absurd reason. They're not. They are concerns.

 

[Coops93]

Sam Rowe in the ruck would be handy right about now.

For Gold Coast?

TO be fair, if both teams kicked 200 points it would be a terrible standard game!

I just wanted to confirm he has no idea what he is talking about. Couldn't be any more obvious evidence now.

But NO “Agenda”?? [emoji848]

Absolutely it is.
If poster names a concern, with reasoning behind the concern, they get a very different reaction.

The problem with the negativity is that it all sticks to the snowball and compounds, regardless of if it is a legitimate concern expressed poorly, completely ill-considered, or blatant trolling.

Behinds or out on the full?.....

Keepin' my cards close to my chest here.

To be fair Stamos I think the problem is that posters come here to voice a concern or opinion and are immediately labelled as negative and, in many cases, there is a chorus of statements like "you are a troll and not true blue" which then snowballs into the shitfest we've seen develope here over the last 12 months.

That is not to say that some of the negative comments posted don't anger me but I am frequently just as angered by the ganged up responses to the comments and opinions posted by FELLOW Blues supporters.

Starting to look like the left/right divide in our sitting Government.

Every person here wants this team to be successful and at the top, we all just have different views about the right way that will be achieved.

Exactly. Except it hasnt been 12 months. Its been for as long as I have read this sub.

I suppose I'd agree that it has been there all along but up until the last 12 months I still found it entertaining and except for a few cases, thought provoking.

It is now downright nasty and the invective that results is bitter. Shit I had some brave dick on here tell me what they had done to my wife. BTW still posts and was never suspended.

Very often that is exactly how they read.

Posters who are reasoned and constructive in their criticism usually get a very different response.

I actually think the last few weeks have been even worse.

Outrageous.

Anyways, back to the task at hand.

Gold Coast. Sheesh, I really want to tip us but I'm not sure. We have been decent against reasonable opponents (albeit we couldnt beat a struggling Richmond with arguably their best player going down, nor a struggling syndey with McVeigh going down) and the suns are beating average but relatively unscathed teams.

So hard to pick.
