I do think the comment about none of us deserving to win a flag is a bit harsh. Cooksen seems like a pretty cool bloke. Also, just a little memo to people who think we have a chip on our shoulder - try supporting us for 29 years and experiencing what we have instead of what you have and maybe you'll understand why we're all bitter, ranting campaigners.
I disagree and I'm unbiased in any way shape or form......:D

Yeah look the clubs deserving of flags because of their fans thing is a bit hard to swallow, as supporter bases are full of all types of people despite the stereotypes we like to laugh about. No doubt in the Blues fan base there's still plenty of entitled types who think we should be romping in the flag every year and still stand by the **** the rest mentality (my dad is one of the old school types who will want the coach sacked after a few losses :rolleyes: or think we're finalists after a couple wins). But there's good sensible and measured fans too.

Oh yeah, boobs.
Every team has douches and good peeps.

And also Sack Coaches, Appoint Boobs

I don't think you're a knob, you have improved quite a lot from those earlier days though. I just remember you posting threads on the Bay or MB about how shit we were or how much we'd f***ed up recruiting certain players/coaches etc which just gave all the Saints hating trolls a chance to jump in and whack us.

On the Bay you can't afford to show any weakness, you have to defend your club at all costs no matter how shit things are.



I can't believe Sooz still reads BF when she can't post here, actually I can believe it but it's still strange.



Which is why I don't want GWS to win a flag as it would just be wasted on their small bandwagon supporter base.
I had no idea how to Bay back then. I think it was the start of the year when I was reading the Exers thread and the survivor thread I was starting to cotton on. Also listening to the flog cast gave me a bit more insight.

As for the main board I try to steer clear of that place. I like the margins thread because it gives me an excuse to do qtr by qtr scores but everyone is too serious there. Half the posters in this thread (perhaps more) are prolific bay posters anyway now so it's more like the bay in a way.

I think steering clear of the Main Board is advice we can all agree on.
Yeah I very rarely post on the main board now, you just end up arguing with morons and trolls if you try and have a sensible discussion.

You get morons and trolls in the Bay too but at least most people there have a sense of humour and don't take themselves or their club too seriously.

At the risk if insulting regular MB posters, they seem to be less clueless. Take Divvy's "st kilda making no improvement under richo" thread. It's now over thirty pages. People just don't get the point and I haven't read anything beyond the OP but I can guess what a majority of the posts in that thread would be like.

Yeah you get clueless morons there saying we haven't improved because we have the same number of wins as this time last year but ignoring the fact we've had quite a hard draw so far and were close to beating Hawthorn and North.

It's pretty obvious to anyone that watches our games regularly that we've improved from last year.

Main board is good for more subtle trolling, plus main boarders are more sensitive because they are less likely to be looking for trolling. Hence threads like that Richo one, which is just full of in factual trolling garbage, and full of people that are too stupid to see it for what it is.
