so we get zero respect here
I was called a muppet and there was no card and no further action, I don't care if every geelong poster calls me a muppet but when an opposition supporter does and I cant reciprocate then there is the issue

respect is a two way vehicle
If you see something you don't like. REPORT IT.
Not every report will result in a Card or fine, but we will see it.

Im sorry but I don't personally see every post here. And neither does any other Mod.

If its reported, we WILL see it.

You are getting a little ahead of yourself....come back and start up when actually signs or a credible source says he has....as it stands his manager is denying he has signed.

The facts at the moment are that Dangerfield is out of contract and has not signed. He is considering taking less money to come home. That is the only set of proven facts that are out there are at the moment. The longer this goes on (with or without sources) the less likely he is to stay. Don't get ahead of yourself.
So Jay Clarke is a credible journo?? Or?

Far more credible than anybody who has said he has signed but that is besides the point. The denials by Connor that he has signed is the most important thing to come out recently. It wasn't "we are trying to work through things with Adelaide and we hope we can come up with something", it was a flat out "no".

Oh FFS it's the crows board, they can do what they want.

Why do people have such a problem with it?
I think people are probably frustrated that Crows fans have a thread that now seems to be exclusively dedicated to taking shots at Geelong and specific Geelong posters on this board, and Geelong posters aren't able to defend themselves, because making a single comment in that thread, regardless of content, would result in some form of punishment. Meanwhile, however, this thread is open slather to Adelaide supporters who want to comment and discuss. We're not allowed a thread where we can take shots at opposition posters without any chance of them defending themselves.

If we're going to have Adelaide supporters coming in here and being incapable of acting civil, who only wish to make thinly-veiled jibes or provoke arguments, then perhaps the thread should be closed or a rule should be imposed akin to what they've done on their board - that only Geelong posters can post. If you read through their thread, it seems some on there are earnestly waiting for news that he's signed, only for the reason that they want to come on this board to troll and shove it in our face. That's behaviour a long way from the class and civility I would hope Geelong people would display in a similar situation, and people who have been on BF for any stretch of time should at least respect that club boards aren't the place for that; Bay 13 is. Surely, if you want to insult opposition clubs and their supporters' actions, you should refrain from making clear your intention to be as arrogant and classless as you possibly can, even if it results, by your own admittance, in being banned from the site, in the same breath.

It isn't going to be pretty here if / when PD signs with Adelaide.

Posters on their board are massing at the front line ready to throw sh*t despite the threat of bans, and are openly mocking Mahlepi, Daz and the 'arrogant' Geelong board.
It has already been noted.

It really amazes me that one can question the quality of a supporter base, and then simultaneously promise that they're going to act like classless morons, to the point that they'll get themselves banned, as soon as the opportunity arises.

Kind of hard to have any respect for people who behave like that.

Then I don't understand why Adelaide posters are reading this board. I don't understand why they're posting in this thread.
That is correct.

They seem confident so there should be no need to waltz over here if they trusted their own sources... I'm not surprised they don't though.

Why would they trust their sources?
Fictional sources or D grade no name journos are calling it, yet those who actually TALK to those involved don't know where it's coming from.
Latest is he signed over a month ago!? Why would they sit on that for this long......

plenty of crows supporters who don't like the 'crows only' aspect aswell....
And as usual its not the majority that cause the issues.

Its the spiteful few that wreck it for all around them.

Absolutely, and whichever way the cookie crumbles I hope both sides remember that recent events have shown there is way more to life than footy, and don't allow spite to cloud that.

i quite like the fact they have a crows only thread on the Danger situation. Just goes to show that once again we are a far superior, both on and off the footy field.

Our supporters are able to have an open thread on this topic, but they are seemingly powerless to control an open thread, apparently due to theport power fans who troll them because they are crows. Solution??? Just lock the whole thread up. I just think that's weak!

I can see where some are going with their complaints against it. Others I assume are a bit frustrated because perhaps they want to have a genuine and polite debate on the topic. Others probably just want to troll with some certainty they wont get carded straight away. I see no issues in having home club supporter only threads though.

And that's fine I think. So too is opening the debate for all and dealing with the trolls like we always do.

Group think isn't a debate.

That's just it though. Footy would be boring if we could not debate over all things footy, and to have a closed thread on something that obviously a lot of crows and cats fans are interested in is ridiculous.

Of course cats fans want to see the crows perspective and the other way too. Cats fans read a post on the crows board and have question, comments and are unable to even speculate without getting the ass!

As I said weak a piss!

Not sure why adelaide supporters are ready to get stuck in over here if danger signs with them. I think most supporters who believe he is coming have heard from a source like most of us, that he is. The only thing which may have impacted that has been the passing of phil walsh, an extremely unprecedented occurence, which if it has caused a change I think everyone would be very understanding.

I believe most supporters are aware of this so not sure why they would be ready to get stuck in. He was coming home (and may still be) unless recent events have changed that. I don't think that counts for abuse if he signs with adelaide, I think there should just be understanding that what has happened has had an impact and that would be completely understandable.
