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.
Sure. So let's assume you're right. Not quite sure where these supporters who don't want premierships are, but we'll go with it for now.

So how does any of that justify thinking that not hopping onto the Geelong team board and making a nuisance of yourself means you're not a real supporter? Does that also mean I don't want the club to win premierships?

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.
Not really sure what the efficiency of moderators has to do with anything. You obviously do it because you think people are going to read it, so the fact that it's cleaned up and that you are "dealt with" quickly isn't really relevant. If they had a sophisticated moderator AI that detected dissenting posts and deleted them immediately, nobody would bother.

The problem with the defending argument is that posters almost never actually just go and defend their club. The vast majority of the time they "defend" by being just as much of an asshole as the posters they're defending the club from. And I'm afraid our supporters are not a special group who buck that trend.

And now, on the occasional time when I feel aggrieved enough to want to venture onto an opposition team's board and defend my club, I'm loathe to do it because the last thousand posters who did it made an ass of themselves, and anything I post is likely to be perceived as being more of the same. Short of coming on with my hands raised saying "sorry for the intrusion, I come in peace, no offence meant, sorry" I'm immediately painted with the asshole brush because that's how most posters before me have acted.

They accept anything that's served up to them. That led to many years of Trigg mediocrity. We've turned the corner as a club by putting people in charge who don't just accept things and who will fly the flag for our club. Paddy D flies the flag every week. We need more players and administrators who are prepared to get their hands dirty and smack heads.

Excuse me but you need to change your wording. My posts haven't needed to be 'cleaned up' or 'dealt with' over there thanks very much. Get your facts right. I quickly saw that they were utterly one eyed fanatical morons who unless you agreed that Paddy was going to go to Geelong for peanuts you were going to cop their wrath with insults and a ganging up mentality so I left.

Well, sounds like you're just as much of a weak-stomached excuse for a supporter as me!

The reason posters act like that is because the last hundred people who came on to make dissenting views acted like tools when they did it. Eventually when everyone is an asshole, you stop giving people the benefit of the doubt.

We do the exact same thing, for the exact same reason.

So now you're having a crack at me for NOT flying the flag.

Or because no matter what you say they'll go you anyway because certain boards, Port, Geelong for instance are full of wankers.

I suspect he signs for 2 years.

Danger won't want to abandon his mates at this time. The 2 years gets him through to free agency so he can leave if he wants. It also gives the Crows enough time to find the right coach and to deliver on the type of club Roo and Fagan have promised. If we can't he leaves and goes wherever he wants. If we do and we are playing high level finals - he stays.

2 years seems a really good fit for him.

Had a read of the last twenty pages of the Geelong thread. Seems like a mirror image to me.:rainbow:
You want to have mainly universal agreement unless you are being deliberately outrageous. Post here.:hearts:
You want to be respectful but have no one necessarily agree. Geelong board.:eek:
You want to troll Geelong. Bay 13.:straining::drunk:
You want to post with posters from all clubs having a say. Main board.:footy::thumbsu:
Question: So I think Danger is staying, what do y'all think?
Crows board; Crows only thread - It's Happening.gif
Main board - dreaming mate, Jay Clark says he's gone.
Cats board - nah, we had 'im signed a year ago, want's to come home, he bought a house here 'n' everyfing.
Bay 13 - flog KamryKows who'd want Clangerfield, he's a hack. Doesn even know what drrecshon to kick it.

We're all as hysterical as each other, but I'm happier seeing the "it'shappening.gif" than the rest.
I just saw that their mods have warned their own for being dicks about Adelaide the city.
Fair to say Geelong has been called some pretty bad stuff in here too.
