Disrespect comments are pretty obvious and should be met with a warning from mods.Interesting expression, 'bagging of players'. What does that include/exclude?
For mine if you critique a player's game, lack or poor skills in a particular area, that is not bagging.
How do others see that expression?

How about your description of Crisp as “the human turnover machine?”Saying a Player is a Dud without much to back it up
You can be held to account for things you write on the internet.Gotta remember that some people have just gotta let off some steam at times, and sometimes what they write isn't what they truly think. I'm extremely guilty of this myself - my criticisms of Mihocek and Thomas a couple of days ago were extremely childish and I wouldn't be happy with myself if they or anybody close to them stumbled upon those posts.
Constant obsessive bagging is never on, but an online platform is a pretty easy way for people, sometimes myself included, to just let off some steam without embarrassing themselves by speaking in public, as silly as that sounds.
I reckon it's important to recognise the circumstances because as I said, what somebody might say might just be a brain fade and a few hours later they may feel completely different about it. The difference between ranting in real life and ranting online is that the online print sticks and can be seen later on.
Fair enough and I must admit, I find it difficult when a player is discussed in the negative without elaboration.Don’t have to go too far to find an example - “Light a fire under his dumb ass.”

Yes, I remember you.Maggie5 You raise a great ?
I am guilty of bagging player Blair and i feel it was justified at the time.
But it's our own perception at the end of a game we all see things in a different light.
So it's an open discussion and i think this board really does that well.
For example we are not bagging a player but thinking gee someone else could do better.
I agree. It's very difference to speaking verbally. Would you reply to a random Pies supporter on the way out of the game on Saturday if he were having a go at Mihocek's efforts for example? I certainly wouldn't, and I doubt most would also. It's probably not what the supporter truly thinks, they're just releasing their frustration. Lots of people tend to release their frustration online.You can be held to account for things you write on the internet.
Yes, I remember you.
I actually was a fan given his limitations and his effort but I get what you mean.

In Thailand or Cambodia the players would be able to sue for libel. That kind of consequence would make posters think twice before calling someone a spud or speculating about their gambling debts.You can be held to account for things you write on the internet.
God I hope you never become a mod, this place would become so vanilla lol.
Don't completely agree with you on this.What a laugh.
“Bagging” a player is part of the game.
I’d even bet that AFL players in their youth, following their respective teams, “bagged” those players.
The only people who seem offended by it is the pea hearts who live on the edge of the forum waiting for that slim chance to say “I told you so” when a player plays one good game.
When you take on the public exposure that any professional sport brings, then you know that there will be those that love you, and those who hate you and those who just critique your performances.
That’s the life of the professional.

I was a Blair fan early days.Yes, I remember you.
