You do know people talk on internet forum?
Yeah but talk of going to war is a little bit dramatic. And maybe Kane McGoodwin doesn't want you representing him and "fighting" for him?

Who really cares if some douchebag in Geelong thinks we have a shit culture? Doesn't affect anything.

Trying to imply that someone is weak or not a true supporter because they don't go and troll other team's boards is pretty ridiculous.
Trolling? It isn't trolling if an opposition supporter says, for instance, Tex is a sook because he made a tweet about Mitchell kneeing him and you then go to the Hawks board and point out that Mitchell's got a past history of kneeing.

Manager would've rang Paddy after Phil's death and checked on his welfare and asked him if there's anything he could do to help etc. Managers have to have a good relationship with their clients and they treat them with a lot of care. I'm sure they've at least spoken on the phone although I'm sure contract issues wouldn't have been discussed at all.
So why say he hasn't spoken to him for 6 weeks then? Something's fishy.

Correct, anyone 'flying the flag' is doing it on their own behalf.

Don't expect Connors to ever be open and honest...
The way I see it is they have talked about the contract, maybe even signed one, if they hadn't he could have just said yeah I've spoken to patty, but was only to check on his welfare, unless of course he's an honest heartless bastard who hasn't actually spoken to him for 6 weeks.

Sure. Although if you want to take a more liberal definition of trolling, it's really posting anything designed to get a negative reaction for the pleasure of seeing the reaction.

Jumping onto the Geelong board to "rub their face in it" if Dangerfield signs? That's trolling, and it's what's being discussed at length here.

Didnt see your outrage when Kane said I wasnt a true supporter because at the time I though Danger was going to leave?
I can at least see the argument that being constantly negative towards the club raises questions about your level of support. I don't agree with it, but I can understand it. And make no mistake about it, you've proven to be ceaselessly negative in your entire time on BF.

But claiming someone's not a supporter because they don't want to go onto an opposition team board on Bigfooty and thump their chest? What, am I not a supporter if I don't defend them on a Crows subreddit either? What about if I don't have a Crows tumblr account? It's a ridiculous argument.

The silence from West Lakes is deafening as well, nothing on website or social media, normally such things would have been shut down fairly quickly

The difference is I dont see you acting like a dick like Kane does questioning people who have a different opinion about something the club has done.
To think that since 2012 our clubs hasnt deserved a ton of negativity for how it has performed and how it has been ran is kinda surprising. To me supporters who dont demand sucess, who dont want change when things are bad, who dont want premierships, and even worse, supporters who do nothing other than attack those who do demand more, need to look at themselfs. Blind faith is blind.

We all want premierships.

If i was his manager, I wouldn't have rang him, I would have sent a text to let him know I'm available anytime if he wants a chat, or if there is anything I can do to make his life easier over the next few weeks, but I would leave it there and wait for him to contact me, probably would have sent him a message after the West coast game as well telling him good job, but I wouldn't have rang him.

Conners was speculated last season for leaking info out on Paddy Ryder, I'm guessing he is playing the watertight lips situation on this one.

No it isn't. What's being discussed is whether this thread should be open to other clubs. You've missed the point.

I can at least see the argument that being constantly negative towards the club raises questions about your level of support. I don't agree with it, but I can understand it. And make no mistake about it, you've proven to be ceaselessly negative in your entire time on BF.

Now you're exaggerating. People are talking about DEFENDING their club against abuse and bullshit allegations by opposition fans.

Moderators on other boards are extremely quick to deal with any of us who might 'beat our chests' on opposition boards so your argument is mute.
