Each to their own, we have the opportunity to put people on ignore

Or they can just behave reasonably. Ignoring just allows them to continue their disrespectful and poorly argued ways. Ignoring empowers the behaviour and reduces us all by its presence!

It’s your perception, mine may be different, it’s not the perfect world we live in

It’s just treating people with respect. And not even that really. You wouldn’t call someone you didn’t know a ******* moron to their face. Doing it online is cowardly.

Let’s face it there are morons and w***kers in this world it’s up to the individual if they wish to engage with them

Using emojis, like the laughing one, to ridicule someone’s post could also be considered just as cowardly and definitely offensive to some posters yet no-one pulls the offenders up for this.

When you work in the construction/ mining environment your vocabulary is going to be different to the office worker, management levels , etc. Not an excuse just differences in groups.

Accept everyone for who they are or block them. Either way just move on and talk s**t about footy again.
Blocking someone doesn’t empower the blocked person, it means you don’t have to read their posts.

And I have ( and do) call people a ******* moron, and worse, to their face. Yep I’m in the construction industry. It happens.

I don't allow "Moron" on our board .....it actually has two connotations, the older one I grew up with ...which was a term used for the mentally handicapped ....and the modern term for being stupid

I'm called a bit old fashioned ....but I still have the original intention of the word, everytime I see it .....and just can't accept the need to use the word

 

[Multiballz]

Despite all your rants, which are enjoyable reading ....you post in a style that's hard to take offence to

I haven't seen you get personal with a poster....you tend to generalise, throw everyone with a different POV into the same melting pot ....hard to take offence at that, I enjoy your posts

Ahh Wayne, Ive said some quite nasty things to you over the years.To which youve never replied in kind.
I think you must be a real sweetheart in real life mate.

Cmon, group hug everybody?

So calling someone cowardly is ok?

Agree that there are a number of players on our list that are nearing the end of their opportunity.

We can't, however, just dump them all in the one year. Given that most, if not all, would be delisted and not traded, we will have lots of spaces but no draft picks to fill the vacancies, and certainly none of any quality. And, anyone you draft has to have an initial two year contract.

This means we are just going to have to do it gradually - perhaps four or five per year. So who are you going to choose out of Berry, Murphy, Sloane, Cook, Hamill, McHenry, Smith, Borlase, Himmelberg, Parnell, Sholl or Bond?
(Chosen from the names most frequently mentioned by the BF Headhunters!)

First year I'd get rid of Sloane, Smith, Himmelberg, Hamill and McHenry

Murphy is already contracted for 2025. One year deal for Sholl, Borlase and Bond

So in the second year Murphy, Sholl, Borlase, Crouch and Strachan gone.

Bond, Cook, Berry, Parnell TBD on form

Calling out behaviour is very different to personal insults. He’s not a coward. The behaviour is.

 

[George Kramer]

Or "garbage" as a reference to an AFL footballer no matter who they play for let alone one of our own.

How about stating players are soft?

Re-sign... rather than resign....

I'm waiting til during the year to make a call as things can change quickly.

 

[Bearded Clam]

LOL ....I still read that as a general thought ....anyone who prefers Laird over Petracca / Oliver is a Moron

Your correct.. It wasnt directed at you.. it was a general thought.

We all know that if any of us here were asked to pick a team and the last two players we had to pick from were petracca or laird.. that we’d all pick petracca every day of the week and twice on sundays.

No ones that moronic to go the opposite direction.

Laird does some decent things but I cant recall him ever winning games off his own boot..

Stats or no stats we all know Petracca wins games off his own boot regularly.

We all see it happen.

If all those players resign, we'll need a lot of picks. Hopefully we can re-sign some of them.

 

[Pugsley]

Draw the Curtin. We are back on track.

Lol, fair point!

 

[Cap]

Love or hate Murphy.

His acting here was sublime, get him to 100 games just for that.

 

[crowholder]

I’d me more offended by being called a pussy

I have heard rumours that you are a pussy with fubbly hands... but from an unreliable source, as only an ex Norwood player

And yet the word ‘ moron’ has been used n this page alone 3-4 times. Why was mine singled out?
You yourself typed it once.

 

[Faaarrk]

Why is an AFL player so precious and above all others to not being called garbage if they play like garbage?

 

[Bearded Clam]

He still had to be told by the runner to stay down and pretend he was really hurt..

Or else he wouldve got up and attempted the kick on goal.. and it wouldnt have ended up in Dawsons hands..

Some posters wouldn’t have made it through the first training session
