Lin Jong - Where do we go to from here

[Mattdougie]

20 possies, 17 of them contested 111 SuperCoach points has been one of our top 10 performers consistently for over a month, it's obvious he just needed a decent shot at it, admit your wrong on him and move on lel

Oh Jesus I do not hate Jong I hate the way he plays footy.

My god I hated the way Gia played also does that mean I hate Italians also?? Jesus better tell my half Italian wife I hate her too.

Why can't people accept I think he is shite? Is that too hard? Am I not allowed to think that?

Your hatred of Jong and/or the way he plays is extreme, irrational, and obsessional, which gives people the impression that there's more to it than simply the way he plays football, and quite reasonably.

Given the extent of the hatred that you have for the way he plays (but not him as a person, just so that we don't run into that hurdle again), there is more to it than simply his football performances, because it is simply not normal to go on like you do about him for literally years. He's one player in a team that's now going along very nicely. So why not tell us all where this hatred comes from? Frankly, it's impossible to have such hatred simply for the way that a player plays football, especially when the team that he plays for is winning games. If the team was losing and he was still being picked, there might be more reason for it, but still not to this extent.

And again, I'll ask, as I and others have already done, the moderators to close this thread which was initially intended to discuss what to do about Jong following the Collingwood visit, not really to discuss him as a player and his attributes, as such. Hence, since the thread is now well and truly derailed, and probably has been for the last forty pages or so, surely the time has come to put it out of its misery.

Most rational supporters of a team like to encourage their team's players and hope the best for all of their team's players. This thread is just open season for Jong bashing, and frankly, the supporters who like to encourage all of their players, those of great ability along with those who have to work a bit harder to get the job done, are clearly over it, as well as those who openly hate 'the way he plays footy', apparently. This thread creates a civil war between supporters of the same team, and it's now far from relevant to what it initially set out to discuss (should Jong be played in the senior team following his visit of Collingwood's facilities), so, for the love of god, close this thread! The eternal Jong debate (here and in other threads) completely destroys what was an extremely good ambiance and harmony on the Bulldogs' board, and this is not an exaggeration.

I'm locking this. Mostly because of its descent into pure crap, but also because it now has nothing at all all to do with the OP. If any of you bring this bullshit into other threads, you suck. A lot. And will make us delete lots of posts. And ban you for life. You, and your children, and your children's children. For three months.
