Your thoughts..

[Supermercado]

I can't read the BF AFL forum anymore without completely losing the plot. I can't look at another post by a Collingwood or Essendon ********er about how we're all snow going, Range Rover driving elitists who don't follow our club. The last straw is the thread by some Bombers **************** about what a disgrace we are for only getting 35000 to the G today (http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=177757 <-- I suggest you hammer this thread if you haven't already).

I'd like to think that this is confined to the morons and intellectual lightweights who seem to congrete on here in great numbers but the truth is that there's a lot of people out there online and off who have it in for our club. Think of how many conversations you've had at work (school/etc) where the conversation has turned to teams moving interstate or merging and how we're always first or second in line to go. No bastard is going to lift a hand to save us if we're ever in trouble.

Now, your thoughts on this. I think we should be forging closer links with the North and Footscray supporters to protect the interests of the smaller Melbourne clubs. Irrespective of on-field issues and what happens between the supporters when we play each other we need to show unity to ensure that the likes of Collingwood and Essendon don't get away with marginalising our clubs and putting us out of business to try and get a couple thousand more through the gate each every week. Because god knows if there was $100000 in it for them they'd probably kill us in a minute in a rush to get to it.

I'm not sure what form this could take on or offline but I feel like we've got to do something before we get knifed and become the West Melbourne Kangaroos.

well said

I find in the end, there are just a whole lot of one-eyed supporters out there on the AFL board trying to rev up their counterparts from other clubs.....and they do it well.

I don't think we would be a club forced to relocate interstate as i do think the Kangaroos and the Bulldogs would be ahead of us there. Hopefully, with continued on-field performances from the team, and off-field decisions by management i hope we can start to get things back on track financially.

Oh my god it is really p1ssing me off. We lost to no.1 on the ladder and we're "pretenders". Times like this i wish i was a mod.
We should get BT onto them.

F*ckers

What do those losers on the main board know? Im going to assume that the majority of them are middle age, and have nothing better to do with their time then sit on a football forum, and get a kick out of annoying people. Seriously, who cares if these idiots call our team pretenders?

At the end of the day, we're still second on the ladder, and are having a real crack at the premiership this season. And we didnt get to second by being a second rate side....
They'll all change their tune anyway, when we belt the Lions up at the Gabba in a coupld of weeks time... and so is the fickle world of AFL.
