No probs, Haso. I understand as well. I just provided Rhonda's details like that because I was too lazy to edit and I wanted it to look legit but I see your point. I want people to know that organising a courtesy bus was totally my idea, the resort don't go to Metricon at all in its shuttle runs...
Was just trying to give as much info as possible without just tacking on a link. Thought people might appreciate that. :/ Moderator, feel free to edit as you see fit. I have young kids and travelling to Metricon has been a nightmare in the past. I just wanted to let people know that a family...
Want to take the hassle out of travelling to Metricon? Ashmore Palms Resort is offering a free courtesy shuttle bus to and from Metricon for the Lions V Hawks V Suns NAB Cup match on Saturday 23rd Feb. Seats are limited and are ONLY for patrons staying at the resort. To book your accommodation...
Heard Grim was resigning as moderator and I just had to give credit where it’s due. Grim, your comments, insights and reflections are always incisive, fair and communicated without malice or arrogance. The work you do on Roster Watch is absolutely incredible and unparalleled. It’s the only...
Are you serious?! Where the hell did I insult anyone for their personal circumstances? Don't you dare accuse me of that! Did you not bother to read the next line where I stated (see in bold below)
Honestly mate, what is your problem? You are flat out accusing me of communicating something...
Your 'burnt at the stake' and 'disgusting people, I say' sarcastic comments were OTT. I never implied that only members can have a say, don't lump me in with Bowers! :mad: I just think it's not acceptable for people to post such personal vitriol about the team/Club they claim to support when...
Anything to see more Lions supporters at the game! Three game passes start at $75 and General Admission tickets are as little as $25.50 per match. Family passes present the best value - 2 adults and 4 kids under 15yrs for only $51 per match. Get your friends to bring their kids along. Info here...
Hi everyone, thanks for the feedback. I had an awesome time! I did not expect to fall in love with Adelaide but I did and I can’t wait to go back with the family or my other high school gfs. There’s so much to do!
Ceebee, thanks for the kind words but I don’t know if I’m a good luck...
Hi Adelaide-based Lions supporters, I'm desperate for advice. :o I'm flying out over for this game. Booked my flights last year as soon as the draw was revealed but now my return flight on Sunday night has been brought forward to 6:35pm. I'm staying with one of my best friends who moved to...
Sooo, anyone else finding it difficult to access the private board? Just wondering if I’m getting special treatment. Can’t see any moderator announcements about technical difficulties. I certainly did not receive a ‘diplomatically’ worded PM, warning, yellow card or whatever you Mods are...
Wow, 22 years of teaching Senior English and not burning out! :eek: You have my utmost respect. :thumbsu: Teaching 3 & 4 Unit English means you must have had the top students though, possibly classes of less than 33 students. Lucky you, am very, very jealous!
Please forgive the way in which...
I was referring to the ganging up on Overtheline for making an observation in the Fevola thread last night. I was however ganged up on BF and in Mods' PMs for having a contrary and fiercely critical opinion of Rorschach's role in divulging Club secrets.
Yes, BigFooty has achieved a lot of good...
Want to discuss the author’s intention?
When a journalist headlines the subject as “the biggest boofhead” and repeatedly refers to him as such, punctuating the conclusion of his article in this manner, it is not to be dismissed. The author could have selected other nouns or used other...
Yes the PM did contain all those things but I was also asked “to tone down any criticism (deliberate or otherwise)”. My issue in that thread was with BF posters who were discouraging Lions supporters from attending Lions Community Events. Judging/ridiculing Lions fans who support such events is...
A just war, IMHO because anyone who sanctions the exposure of insider info about our beloved Club on the main board are nothing more than whiteants.
My point still stands, why should Mods be allowed to PM posters on issues that if publically debated might draw a spectrum of views...
What, no sticky for this thread? Hardly inviting feedback.:thumbsd:
I think it's unfair for Mods to PM posters on issues that could be open for debate on the board.
I would like to know when a Mod PMs you, is it their personal opinion or is it on behalf of all the Mods i.e. is there...
1) Yes, but isn’t the writer's argument somewhat diminished by the way in which he refers to the victim repeatedly as a boofhead, bookending and headlining his article as such. Overtheline made a valid observation and was attacked for it.
2) Of course I agree that it is unethical to stalk and...
Well, well let's talk about hypocrisy. I get PMed by a Mod for the tone of my criticism in regards to the lack of support for Lions' community events yet the 'tone' present here from other Lions' posters is full of unwarranted vitriol and ridicule. Examples directed toward overtheline...
Today the Lions and its sponsors put on a fantastic community event that not only promoted our great Club but also raised funds for the Premier’s Flood Appeal. It was a great success and contrary to the attitude by some on BF that these events attract every dog and cat and become a free for...
I was shocked to hear this too but apparently it's getting done right and a lot of effort has gone into it. Whataboutbob, maybe you should get in touch with the Club about this too. ;) Will PM you the details.
Geez I am again compelled to say something here. It's costing the Club $15,000 to webcast the AGM for members but only 7 people in the entire world have registered to watch it! :eek: The Club was trying to do the right thing here but gestures like this are simply not cost-effective. Please if...
Have been staying away from BF but the only reason I'm compelled to post now is to avert a sea of Lions members' caps at the Gabba that resemble the yellow and red colours of the Gold Coast Suns!:eek: http://goldcoastfc.com.au/the-club/
Please everyone, Vote B. Maroon is the only colour in...
Yep, I used to write detailed training reports. I was naïve, I asked the Mods if it was ok to write them and I was assured that they would not affect the Club. I suspect that I was asking the wrong party though. Turns out when Vossy took over as coach, closed training sessions were increased...
Gameplans are related to positions players are trialled in, injuries that they may be carrying, treatment that they may be receiving for those injuries and the extent certain players participate in training sessions. I would have thought that was very clear to most people.
Struck a nerve...

"Training sessions actually change a lot depending on who we are playing that week. We generally have a warm-up, practice skills and then go through our game plans and strategy. That’s why our sessions are closed sometimes, because we don’t want to...
Re: Rorschach's journal
TBD, remember me telling you about this email I got from the Club late last year? “The Club obviously has someone leaking serious information so I am disengaging from communicating with Big Footy (posters) because it all ends up online and being tracked by the media.”...
Re: Rorschach's journal
I kept the AFL record from the Hawks V Lions game in Tassie last year and I’m very glad I did. It featured an article titled, ”Football Espionage: an audience with the most despised club spy in the game”. Now unless you made the trip from Brissie or Melbourne (or you...
Re: Rorschach's journal
First of all, this..
...is old news to some of us. Difference is we weren't going to discuss it on an internet forum.
Secondly, ..
..I 100% agree with this. I've argued in the past threads such as this, and the training reports on the private board, aren't really...
