Random thought that I think deserves a new thread thread

I had an interesting thought that I think deserves a new thread.

Not even sure why I'm posting this in here.

The difference between the two clearly warrant separate threads...

A thought, eh?

If you were a tree, what tree would you be?

I'm pretty sure this would get lost in this thread. Might be an idea to split the thread.
 
I believe this is a subtle protest at people starting threads because they have a thought that would be equally at home in an already established thread. The genius is that the thought is put into a new thread to highlight exactly what is being protested about.

Or he could have just dropped all his marbles and kicked them out of the treehouse while stooping over to pick them up.

Mclean's a dud.

We need a KPF, no sorry I mean a KPD.

Grigg should stay (or go).

Gibbs should play midfield, no sorry I mean HBF.

Hendo Hendo Hendo.


Just a thought.....




Well several actually.
 
I understand the reasoning behind it, but seriously the members on our board over the last few months have really started to become cruel to fellow posters.

Yes so some people may create new threads excessively with their argument not necessarily one that you may agree with... but instead of being polite and responding to their thread with a bit of decorum it's become schoolyard nasty.

We have a mix of ages and upbringings from all the members of this board, but the one thing we have in common is our love for the Blues and that demands a certain level of mutual respect amongst one another.

You are absolutely correct with the above. I took this thread to be a light hearted dig but having said that I also believe we all have a responsibility to not only write with respect and contain our emotions at an acceptable level but engage our brains before we post.

There are soooo many threads that can be bumped that have already dealt with a particular issue that may be on someones mind.

Its actually not that easy to come up with a relevent topic that hasn't already been discussed.

The classic for me is the trading thread. We have a trading related thread yet at least once a week someone posts a name in a new thread title posing the question "should we get this guy".
 
Yes, it for moderators to action. However we have had a lot of previously removed posters creating aliases and bouncing back in as newbies. Unfortunately some regulars tend to swing at shadows assuming everyone is sus.

There is no excuse for abusing others who are asking questions, or starting a discussion just because you feel that discussion has already been had or is below your intelligence level. Some things can just be left alone.

We all started somewhere on this site. Live and let live.

Anything sus should be reported and we will delve deeper.
 
Well I think this is a great thread cause I noticed something on the weekend that is actually worrying and may cost us one day... but I don't think it's worthy of a thread...

Against Essendon, in our forward 50, I think it was Simpson, who tackled an essendon player, the ball spills... Eddie collects and snaps... however as Betts was about to kick the ball the umps paid a free to Essendon... it was such a small time difference... that Betts snapped anyways and a 50 was paid against him...

Last week against Richmond, something similar happened, where there was a ball up, Garlett's run was impeded and the ball spills to Betts... as soon as he was about to kick... Betts hears the whistle and decided not to kick it... even though it was his bread and butter... now the ump briefly paid advantage but Betts had stopped cause he didn't want to give 50 had the free been paid to richmond...

The subsequent Garlett kick missed...

I think the quick kick after a free gets paid shouldn't be paid 50... cause it is impossible to determine who's free it is... and what is happening is... if you're willing to gamble and take the kick hoping it's your free... and you lose out... then it's a massive penalty... so really the risk isn't worth it... and therefore in some instances... getting a free will disadvantage the team...

I think this is a hole within the rules... that really needs to be looked at...
