Lack of Posts from Certain Users = bandwagon supporters with no passion for the club that they support!

Im here enjoying the eb and flow that is the the EFC ...many times i have got excited and wanted to post just how special it is being part of the bombers though thick and thin... I couldn't imagine going for anyone else YUK!

great board , great mods , great peers ... you need the unfaithful sometimes too make you realize.... :thumbsu:

I hardly ever post on the team board coz its boring.

Has nothing to do with whether the Dons are losing or winning.

I'm about the same. I used to make a lot of footy posts in the early days of this site, not so much in the last few years.

Now I admit that trend does seem to coincide with Essendon's fortunes, but it's merely a coincidence.

I'm more likely to post in the main AFL forum that the Essendon one anyway.

i was in europe for 6 weeks and was hoping you were all giving it to celtic pride when the bombers culled the blues again!

i wasn't surprised we started winning games as our draw got easier as well as time allowing the coaches and players to adjust their strategies etc. the good win in R1 probably raised expectations putting unfair pressure on knights.

knights is the most impressive 1st year coach i've seen - a mate of mine works for sportal and says he is in the top 3 coaches to interview. always answers questions well and is polite to all the media. unlike some others...
 
like i said before, i've stopped bagging lazycock so there goes 50% of my posts and also... with a few wins under the belt I've become awfully arrogant again and been hanging out causing trouble in bay13
 
I think Essendon are setting themselves up nicely for the future. I admit I was wrong with Lloyd, I along with many many many others thought he was finished. That mark was unbelievable... even better that I was so close to the action!

A lot of the players that have picked up their games are those same players Sheedy drafted to the club... I have to make an apology to Kevin, not all of his drafts were duds between 2001-2007, Reimers and Welsh in particular have come along in leaps and bounds, as for Ryder, will be regarded as the best CHB in the league before too long!!! Well, I guess he doesn't have much competition for that title, the majority of the other CHBs aren't defensive in nature, i.e. Bock.
 
I think a lot of people are missing the point of this thread. A lot are saying "I've had work recently" or "I've been overseas" etc., but the OP's point was that posters who were unfairly critical of players like Welsh, Lloyd, Hille, Slattery and even Knights aren't copping their fair whack now.

I can't wait til someone makes this thread about Jason Laycock in a month's time.;)
 
I think you're wrong Benthegooner. I think a lot of supporters are pleased with things recently... and lets be honest there hasn't been a lot of interesting threads recently on the bombers board. It kind of sucks to just log in... type "good game boys" and not argue with anyone. But I'm 100% certain that laycock thread you mention is on its way... and I'll have nothing to do with it. I like the guy now.
 
No, what I'm saying is that the OP was making the point that some posters (like tockley, although he's not the only one) have disappeared since we started playing well.

While some fans are naturally pessimistic, so as not to let themselves down too much when the club doesn't achieve highly, there is just as much to discuss when we are winning as losing. There are still question marks over a lot of players, and there is plenty to discuss.

Your point is valid though.

They have missed the point.
The thread was aimed at the likes of tockley who turned up again for a few weeks while we where losing badly and preceded to criticise Knights and the club saying it was the worst decicion ever made.
He had a few others that chimed in as well.
Funny thing is now we are winning none of them have anything posative to say ;)
It is not aimed at all supporters, just a certain few :)
 
I think that also we tend to forget personal issues as well.

Maybe the person has fallen ill, gone on a holiday, over it or whatever. Its a bit hard making judgement calls on people when you don't know their personal situation or reasons.

That is too easy, so its better we concentrate on who is here and what is going on.

I'm pretty superstitious, i have a feeling that me being here talking about how great the last 7-8 weeks have been may put the mockers on us. So I don't actually know why I'm here tonight...

Well the OP should have named names instead of simply stating that 'certain posters' have gone missing due to our good form.

I for one have taken offense to this considering the fact that i have been named as one of these people in this thread. Maybe if the OP had of mentioned who he was refering to we wouldn't have people throwing names out willy nilly.

I support my club through the good and bad times and Essendons form has nothing to do with my posting trends within the Bomber board.

I am not about to start giving reasons for why i havent posted as regularly as as i have in the past because quite frankly it is nobodys business. The one thing i will say is that it has nothing to do with the fact that the dons are winning games of football.
 
IDGAF about what any BF poster thinks of my comments in the last 6 months.

Nor should anyone else. Its only an internet site people. Don't get too hung up on judging every single EFC player's form is my advice. Sometimes ur wrong,sometimes ur correct....in the end,winning games and showing improvement is what its all about. No body likes to lose week in week out-just ask Freo and WC supporters.

Six weeks ago,I was calling for the heads of Monfires,Stanton,Watson,Mcphee,Laycock,Slattery,Winderlich and Dyson...now I take it all back. Thats footy.


....Dyson and Laycock should be traded at the end of the year of course,but who's listening?...:rolleyes:
