Are you referrring to me as a troll? I bloody well hope not!
As far as I am concerned, you earn your way into posting on a board, just as you earn your way out of it.
So, when we have posters like this GWS clown, and the St Kilda obsessed flog, who spend 90-95% of their BF experience trolling Fremantle with vitriolic and personal crap , they earn their way out of it.
No-one has worked over the Eagles more than I have over the years, but I have only ever copped a yellow card, (3 points) in over a decade of posting there.
Why? Because I know where to draw the line and retain a sense of humour.
The Sydney equivalent of a Freagle is a SwaG

In regards reports on tweets and supposedly reports on in Eastern States media that Cam McCarthy left the Noosa camp to go to Sydney to train on his own as referred to on the GWS board is a media beat up. McCarthy went to Sydney to get treatment for his hamstring which was planned and then he was on his way to Perth for Xmas. The camp was only of 1 weeks duration so he missed a day or probably 2 but that's no big deal.
In respect to the media's performance on the reports that Cam had left the camp (implying a dummy spit) the old adage "Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story" has rung true again on this occasion.

Notice that they disappear of season when then is nothing to criticise. Having genuine Freo posters on here at the minute is a real pleasure.
They bumped an old Dockerland thread over on the Eagles' board back from the dead, and another old one on here having a go at one of our players iirc that I just knew exactly you it was before even opening it. They are a West Coast supporter that probably has a Freo membership or something.
Time to kick the freagles out.

Bigfooty in general was a bit off putting this year
I just wrote a long diatribe for the D&T board, but the thread got closed before I finished it, so I'm posting it here:
Go on. Actually have a look at this thread for example. What you are saying is actually false. The Fremantle posters have mostly tried to use external information to state their case. Young's "utterances" for example were backed up with a West Australian newspaper interview of Cam McCarthy himself, Fremantle Football Club statements and the contradictory statements by Giants officials. Jay Clark's "story" was a single tweet (unless you can point me towards his online story).
The problem is that GG has not involved himself in rational discussion. He has repeated statements that have been shown to be false despite multiple corrections eg when McCarthy extended his contract, misrepresented Taylor's statement regarding the pregnant girlfriend speculation (go back and read the original discussion - GG didn't, or couldn't), took up three pages of this thread to deny that clubs actually do send their players home when they can (even though many posters confirmed this), used abusive terms towards all Fremantle fans, and then resorted to a pathetic, puerile Leave Brittany Alone meme when it became clear he had nothing.
Yes, I figured the Channel Seven tweets indicated more was wrong than has subsequently been reported. Judging by the abuse of Cam by some GWS posters and one Sydney poster, they thought so too. The clincher for me was the selfie that McCarthy released of himself in an empty room with packed luggage poking out from behind the mirror. This did not look like the image of someone who is happy with his lot.
We know this:
McCarthy did not want to play for GWS in 2016.
His manager, he and his coach all stated he was homesick.
His manager stated that the GWS environment had changed since McCarthy extended his contract.
His manager and Fremantle both stated the contract being discussed was not massive. Only Jay Clark (once) and GG (ad nauseum) said there was a big offer.
Fremantle tried to engage GWS with a trade deal but were knocked back. They continued to try to organise a deal right up to the last moments of the trade period.
Media figures were imploring GWS to stand firm on McCarthy's position. This was portrayed as the line in the sand that GWS should not cross. We also know that GWS copped criticism last year for trading away Tom Boyd.
GWS publicly stated that McCarthy was a required player and no trade would be discussed (yes they said that last year too). There is no indication from any source that this was untrue. They also variously minimised any suggestion of homesickness but then stated that he was homesick.
His manager publicly asked GWS officials to investigate McCarthy's situation further.

I made up SwaG as a joke. Kram has helped push it. I'm going with Swag out of respect to him.
