Analysis Game Day Threads 2021- a frank discuss

[Gasometer]

I've been temporarily banned from PMs Gasometer.

But I think a great idea to have it shared around and have people prepare etc.

I'll put my hand up for the Pies Game Day thread if it's available.

You and me Chops so far.

I'm sure you'll get plenty of posters wanting to do a funny write up for Game Day threads.

It's not like there is not plenty of time to get started! ha

Their increasingly anarchic tendencies last year were a perfect reflection of our season, as it turned out.

So if we could sort our s**t out this year, that'd be great.

Call me eccentric, but I reckon it's a good idea to think about making them about the game.

GAGF.

You mean, make the GD thread about football?

Anyone interested in me putting together a Roster for GD OP’s across the whole season.

The only waiver is I get to do the North GF GD OP this year.

Happy to share it...PM me with the Round you want to do.

If you're going to do that then people need to make them proper OP's and not just a sentence and a gif. Put some actual information, formatting, and effort into them.

I'm not a massive fan of the game day threads because there is a lot abusive comments made in them. If we could somehow instigate a temporary suspension for those who continually abuse players for errors or missed kicks, marks etc. Give them a warning or two, then red card them for 15-20 minutes.

Incredibly hard to do, but just a thought.

On the one hand people frequently do go overboard in the threads, but on the other hand it's genuine and raw due to it's immediacy and I think a lot of that has value.

For example I find there's a big difference between saying "X ****ed up, and made a stupid mistake like always" and "X is a ******* useless prick and a disgrace to the jumper!!!".

EDIT: Apologies to Xerri, lol.

Hey, we can open one's up about cats & the Wallan KFC at the same time!!!!

IDC wat happens once the Game starts; the angst seems to be about who, what, when before the damn ball is bounced.

 

[Gasometer]

Like typically there is a Preview Thread the week of the game.

..............which talks about the upcoming match for some bizarre reason.

The teams listed in the opening post would be nice

Yes, a little bit of a run down, venues, recent prior history, betting and media telecasts.

Then bullshit away to your hearts content.

Angst from who? Just because the Tom Mitchell of the board gets angsty doesn’t mean the rest of us should give a s**t.

Or you could just look at the NMFC or AFL apps.

Tom the footballer?
You better explain KT

You known the football that gets heaps of possession but isn’t very dangerous. Just because a poster posts a whole lot doesn’t make them a good poster!

 

[SpiderBurton22]

I like more pictures of cats.

And add that the thread starts on game time, not 18 hours earlier.

Nobody should be modding the Game Day Thread while a match is on.

The way to do this is set in place a rule about player abuse, and have a system. First time gets a warning, next time gets a week off. Simples.

Bring it up at the AGM and get all members to vote on this huge issue.
