List Mgmt. 2025 List Management Discussion

[Nathan Barley]

Jeez- are you always complimentary towards our team and players are you?? Beg to differ, you know we can read your posts don’t you?

Yeah if other people does something bad then that makes it ok

No i have been disappointed that captain stupid never caught on for Zorks

 

[SizeMatters]

Pffffttt…..good supporters dont eat their own regardless of their shortcomings in my opinion. FMDT. “He may not have achieved a lot”….mate….he will play 200 games!!!! AS you have noted, you have never played a game of afl at the highest level EVER…Dan will trump you by a long way and I wont degrade you for that because you had a crack. Less than 4 % of all afl registered players achieve 200 games and he should be respected for that…not called a derogotrey name as McSpray…thats bulls**t.
In this forum I am entitled to give my opinion just as much as you are Champ. Keyboard warriors piss me off when young men like Dan play at the elite level that many never will yet those have the audacity to pay out on their shortcomings rather than be positive about their bloody awesome achievements. (Happy clap there)

Mate give it a rest. There is more to life than playing AFL footy. You know you can have a successful and fulfilling life without doing so right? Not everyone on this forum dreamed of becoming footballers

And they should be within their rights to tell the person to get ****ed.

Only if they are OK with giving the AFL a few 1000's for the fine they will cop.

 

[Sunny Land]

There's a difference between giving someone a gently ribbing, and abuse. As I mentioned in an earlier post, other than it being a play on his name, it's no different to the discussion on Joe Daniher being 50/50 from anywhere on the ground, or saying a player couldn't hit the side of a barn.

McSpray certainly didn't enter a common vernacular to my awareness (other than probably amongst a small group of posters here around 2019/2020 from a quick search). Dan McStay absolutely went through a period when he was an unreliable shot at goal. He knew it and worked on it and improved and that was also generally acknowledged.

For the record, this post is the first time I've ever used the term, and I'm happy to withdraw my defence if it if it was ever used to directly abuse the player.

Agree 100%

 

[Sunny Land]

They don’t need to because it has never happened.

It happens. Deny it all you like but it happens. Not often (mainly after a loss) but it happens.

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Agree 100%

So calling him McSpray is abuse? As you suggested?

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Mainly after a loss- so other times players have been ‘abused’ after a win? Really? Please.

Should the next person who offends with the McSpray insult get a 4-5 week ban from big footy?

or Sam Draper coming to us until our season is finished. They will have their exit interviews and advise their respective clubs about their desire to explore their options but it will remain non-committal to us for the time being - correct?

I’d say that’s likely. I expect it’s about keeping our eye on the prize, and not doing anything that could destabilise the current playing list.

Which they shouldn't have to.
If fans have every right to give players shit, then players should have every right to give it back.

No.

Roll out homophobic crap and you'll get time off.

That kind of name calling (of poster or player) usually gets your post removed and sometimes a warning.

I try to be more consistent than the AFL. Thankfully they set the bar low.

I know I'm in the minority, but I cringe every time I read some lame play-on-words like this. They're generally just juvenile and more importantly just bad comedy. Even back in the good ol' days of Ninthmond, it just annoyed me as it didn't rhyme. Reminds me of when politicians do the same then chortle like school children.

Get some good material people!

Nah, I only got a week for calling Judd an eye gouger on the Carlton board after the pressure point incident, and I didn't self report. maybe just the cuts for this one.

Got to admit the ninth again song was good though

If that rule was retroactively enacted a few posters here would be banned for years!

[3KZ is Football]

I don’t think players should be abused or insulted either. Being called McSpray is hardly, IMO, abuse or an over the top insult.

We just need to clear this up, dlanod, can I call Dan McStay a “SPUD” now?

 

[BuntonRules]

No. Offensive to the Irish. His name hac a Mc in front, not an O'.

 

[Tom14]

Don't believe in paying ruckmen generally, don't think he's the sort of ruckman you pay, and he has a worse injury record than Oscar Allen.

 

[Tom14]

I’ll see you in court

Get ready for an affidavit buddy,

That is offensive to potatoes.
