Biased Posters

Sorry, ok Crows about breaking the Crow brotherhood - but you are pretty biased.

I would contend that it depends on what you mean by biased.

If it means only posting positives about your club, and debating neagtives, then guilty as charged!

If however it is meant to imply unrealistic or unable to have perspective - then I dispute that. For example - this preseason I tipped Crows to improve perhaps by one or two ladder places - that is to come sixth or seventh. As it turns out even I underestimated them this year.

So, if insisting on reasonable assesment for your team, and posting positives about them, is biased, then as I say ... GUILTY!

But if it means posting totally unrealistic predictions for your side, and at the same time bagging other sides (al la sabre this year with Freo having the league's best young guns apparently whereas Crows had the worst forward line in the comp) ... then most decidedly I'm not at all guilty of any of that sort of behaviour. If that sort of stuff - overating your own, under-rating opposition - is bias, (as is my definition of bias) - then I claim not guilty at all your honour!

PS- do you see me even posting on the thread "Are Crows favourites for next year?" - no. IMO they simply aren't. Stupid suggestion IMO.

So anyway - in what way do I end up more biased (apparently) than whoever thought up that notion? Hmmmmm?

Its hard being a Freo fan and not going overboard when the entire league under-rates your team.

Thanks mate, I just don't want to over-rate our team anymore, we've had too much dissapointment in the past. We should just start making our mark on the field and concentrate on that rather than going on about how much potential we have, and talking up our chances - only to have them dashed.

Most, if not all, of the Freo supporters on this board are the most biased supporters on Big Footy.

The way they talk about the Freo players you would think they were the greatest side to ever walk the earth, realistically they are the joke of the AFL.

I am biased, there I admitted it. I just love my club and dont see the bad things about my club that some others do! Im passionate (how many other tasmanians would buy a membership of an interstate team)and proud (why shouldnt I be? We've improved so much this season and look like where on the right track for the first time since 1999)

Sumed up perfectly.
Yes I am biased and yes I am probally insane but I am SABRE, there is only one sabre and truth is the site wouldnt be the same without me.
So be happy I am here

There is something wrong with you if your not biased to the club you support. So what If I am Kenny? I'm damn proud of it. At least I can still be reasonable, as so can most on that list (no, not including you Sabre! )

Man that will kill some people here!

Outside of the pies group, I doubt whether many care .

It's possible to be objective even if you're biased. We all have our favourite clubs, and of course we're going to be biased towards them, but hopefully not everyone here lets their bias completely cloud their objectivity.

Fair enough too. No finals series in your eight years of existence, losing records against every team bar one, and a succession of recruiting blunders that make the bloke that got Neville Fields for the Daniher brothers look like a genius.

Heaven knows why everyone else thinks Freo is a laughing stock.

If ever there was post of the year, this would be the one

Well if i was sane do you honestly think I would be able to put up with the amount of freo trolls out there.
I mean comon if i was sane and did get anoyed over the constant attacks you dont think I would have put those powers to wrong use.
Like I said be thankful Kane

 

[Dogwatcher]

Let's talk semantics here folks. This thread should not be called biased posters as every poster on Big Footy supports a team and is therefore biased.
It should have been called overly biased posters or something similar.
So yes I'm biased, but I think that I am able to listen to both sides thoughtfully and express my opionions without resorting to all of the old generalisations about supporters of other clubs. Port adelaide supporters are, howevewr, still feral warfies (jj).

Having trouble thinking of a reply to that that wouldn't be starred out.

Chill out Sabre, as I could resist having a dig (again), as you set yourself up beautifully! Have a good weekend.

A rohan post would be far more moody and sexually frustrated.
With questions like "Beanie or helmet".

True!

 

[Mocca]

It does beg the question though: who came first, the troll or the fish?

For instance, where are the St Kilda trolls? Where are the posters lining up to take pot-shots at Savatage, STL and co? Why don't people make fun of St Kilda's pathetic performances of late and lack of achievement over time.

The reason is that the St Kilda posters don't go making outlandish claims about their side, pumping up every one of their players to Hall of Fame standard and proclaiming that they are just around the corner from becoming THE power side of the competition.

So why do so many posters like to take pot shots at Fremantle?

It's not really that difficult to work out.

 

[Dogwatcher]

Hammer, nail, head Mocca.

 

[PAfolwr]

Lets face it, Port posters are the least biased posters on these boards.
They report things exactly how they are. Nothing but facts.

Okay I admit I'm biased towards Nath.
