Opinion The scourge of the player claim thread

[Quicky]

Like a hapless ant being consumed by a killer jungle fungus, so has our quaint forum been infected by the player claim threads:



Our board is now littered with 19 player claim threads (yes 19! ) most struggling to crack a dozen posts and generating minimal debate.

Quality threads (like Snoops draft thread) are ending up on page 2 to make way for these snore fests.

Enoughs enough! It's time to take back our board! This is a call to arms. Support and bump the good threads. Ignore the rest.

I was thinking there were more Player Claim threads than past years.

You’ll know the end is nigh when the Jarryd Blair claim thread appears...

Is it the end of days?

What is the motivation behind the threads. Fame? Infamy?

As a portent it would be a pretty good indication...

What about a player clam thread, you know for the AFLW side?

Well said Quicky

Think it started this year when that moron posted the Ben Reid claim. Time to throw him off the board along with all the player claim threads.

I know right. Who is that guy anyway?

What a waste of space those things are. I come on here to glean the few miserable bits of information that the off season has to offer. I don't want to wade through a list of our players. I know who plays for us.
As for those list cloggers that fill our pages with this trite nonsense - they should be delisted, and hopefully taken on by some other club.

Sorry about that, got lost with the reload button

Can all the player claim threads just be merged with the player watch threads?

Then there's the scourge of the scourge of the player claim threads....

I just did one on mason , as I couldn't find 1 on really our key point of difference
Some positive vibes quickly won't go astray on here
Really draft analysis is also boring , same s**t wrapped up in different paper

look at me, look at me...

No, look at ME.

That comes when Chris Mayne kicks 10.

Ok I'll give you a free pass on Mason...but a thread claiming Grundy, Pendlebury, Treloar or Sidebottom is gonna play well in 2018 is kinda Capt Obvious stuff...

Poster 1: "Hey, what's everyone doing?"
Poster 2: "We are making Player Claim threads on BigFooty"
Poster 1: "Kool, why?"
Poster 2: "Coz everyone else is"

 

[unplugged]

We need a single thread, with a poll "which player would you like to claim as your own"... And be done with it.

Actually, scrap that... Burn them all!

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Imagine that.

Multiple Threads on an Internet forum....

Who would have thunk it?



(Just mucking about folks.)
