there also seems to be a fair regard held between Sydney and St Kilda
we’ve stocked their forward line
they help us out if they can
probably our best buddy in club land of any dinkumness

Re: 2019 Season a disaster already
Firstly it is a 1 DAY ban. Perhaps you didn't read that far. PLUS I have already admitted to perhaps being blinded by personal outrage at the statements on two people who are essential for us to reach the heights we desire - given what industry knowledge that I have.saintspremiers wrote: ↑Sat 16 Mar 2019 2:23pmJaxons gets a one week ban because Herr SS ist the boss!!rodgerfox wrote: ↑Sat 16 Mar 2019 9:59amHow?BackFromUSA wrote: ↑Sat 16 Mar 2019 5:42am

It’s a total joke - agree what you’ve said RF

The rule stated:

However what this shows is that there are degrees in this matter. The actual post wasn't deserving on a 1 week ban. It was minor.
So the rule has been adjusted to:
In cases where posters abuse or demean a Saints player / official / or their family, OR casts aspersions on their character and it is deemed by the moderators to be offensive and inflammatory, then the moderators will issue a 1 DAY or 1 WEEK BAN depending on severity.

AND as I have stated ... I may have got this wrong. Perhaps it inflamed me (and a minority) and not others.

Re: 2019 Season a disaster already
I think there’s a difference between critising and insulting.
We should be able to critise players/officials if we feel it’s warranted, otherwise what’s the point?

Re: 2019 Season a disaster already
The post under discussion was insulting and plain wrong. Sure one can be critical and many posters are but bulls*** statements should be pulled up and were by the mods. I don't have a problem with that.

Re: 2019 Season a disaster already
He didn’t insult them personally, just said they were bad at their jobs. People might disagree and present a counter argument, but flat out banning for that seems a bit heavy handed.

I think most of us at one time or other report posts. I certainly have and have never been ashamed or remorseful. What a ridiculous comment.

Re: 2019 Season a disaster already
You are correct. I should have counter argued. And I have done so subsequently. Sometimes as a human we make decisions and in the fullness of time know that the decision wasn’t the best. I can’t get it right 100% of the time and happy to admit when I get it wrong. What it did expose is that 1 week can be too harsh a penalty in some instances of that particular rule and I have adjusted the rule to alllow mote flexibility. Criticism is fine BUT this was a veiled assisination of their professional reputation. This upset me because unless something has changed in the past 6 months I know both statements to be incorrect. Made a bad decision in banning him for a week. He do however deserve something for inaccurately depicting their industry reputations.The_Dud wrote: ↑Sat 16 Mar 2019 4:01pmHe didn’t insult them personally, just said they were bad at their jobs.

Re: 2019 Season a disaster already
I’ve never used the report function however I think there’s a place for it. But my gripe extends to ‘recidivist reporters’ that should be pulled up for making vexatious complaints & wasting the time of the moderator. Use the report button for serious abuse & online bullying but for commenting on a poster? Please.

Re: 2019 Season a disaster already
We might not be from the same side of the tracks
But where I come from you'd better talk to
Not about someone
Who cant defend themselves
They might find out
Any comment about someone
Particularly here
Is weak as piss
Entirely unnecessary
and worthy of a ban.
I wouldnt hide
From a privileged position
and snipe under the cover of anonymity.
If I thought you sucked
Id say I think you suck.
Not all my mates think you suck.
Jaxons referenced others who have credibility
Demeaned an official
and then declared the sentiments
to be his own.
A week seemed fit.
You be your own judge
A day was generous
But its all futile
IMHO.

Re: 2019 Season a disaster already
it has got to this ridiculous point
i re-watched the fox footy "Stkilda 50 years on" last night - plenty of saints people interviewed by Mike Sheehan
ex- players - ones that got transferred ed from the club and moved to other more successful clubs
the clear inference was that we were not as professional and the expectations were a lot different at their new destinations
I wonder if they posted that on here would they get banned

Re: 2019 Season a disaster already
a lack of class?
selling out?
What is this, high school?
Cheap shots are treated with the same respect, I guess.
Jaxons was called out and reported and not the only one banned.
Like I said, i find it all futile and somwhat childish.
Fair play from my perspective.

Re: 2019 Season a disaster already
Let me say this I appreciate Back From USA retracting the ban and apologising.
It takes a big man to admit when they are wrong and as I said it is appreciated and respected.
Just want to say something though BackFrom USA, have a good look at what I wrote and if freedom of speech is not allowed on this forum then please let me know and I will go and re-read George Orwell 1984.
I said "Gubby Allen has a horrible name inside the industry for double-dealing"
I did not personally say anything about Gubby, just what is fact in football circles.
Please remember this of only 2 years ago:
https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/col ... sp18m.html
This he got caught for, other things done he has not, how many football managers can you recall getting a 12 month ban from the AFL please for clearly unethical behaviour?
He is still a capable recruiter at getting people to a club, and I said nothing about his capability, just stated what is a fact on his reputation.
I also said Lethlean has never worked at club land before,this is also a fact.
I did not question his ability or personality.
Finally, I said Finnis is known as a joke of a CEO in AFL circles, this I can understand and respect may have upset some people, and I apologise if I offended.
However, I did not question his personality or character, just his perceived ability, by many people I know and talk with that are AFL inner sanctum, to do his job well for the club we love.
BackfromUSA, again thank you for admitting a wrong, and I am in full agreement that certain behaviours or actions on here should not be tolerated, but please let's be careful about sanctioning freedom of speech, as long as it is not abusive or bullying behaviour, people should be allowed to express themselves on here.

A ban for this post is totally ridiculous
Get a grip Mods and try to respond instead of react.

Carlisle Back is cooked

Paddy most likely will never play again
One of our big hopes and 3 of top 7 players in all kinds of trouble. Compound that with Hannas who is strugglingto get to AFL gear.
This club is in disarray.. most absolutely unavoidable but my oh my.. this is sad
We have a Head of Football who has never worked at club level before, this is a fact.
Gubby Allen has a horrible name inside the industry for double dealing.
Finnis is regarded inside the industry as a joke of a CEO.
These are the people leading our football club.
Steven is back in the fold now and will play Round 1, his personal issues could not be helped.
Roberton is just bad luck for all involved.
Carlisle was cooked at start of the summer and club chose to wait until it got better, turns out the wrong choice.
And Paddy well despite the fact we should never have chosen him pick 1 to start with, his issues have arisen from poor football technique which is a coaching and development issue first and foremost.
As for Hannebery, this was Lethlean's call to pay him $800k a year for 5 years, and get a banged up footballer, who has been known by all to have social issues away from football.
Roberton and Steven were unavoidable, the rest the club has pulled the wrong reign, as usual.

This ban on Jaxons is a joke.. he’s stated opinion and his view on the industry rationale based off what he has seen..magnifisaint wrote: ↑Sat 16 Mar 2019 2:29pmVery poor moderatingsaintspremiers wrote: ↑Sat 16 Mar 2019 2:23pmJaxons gets a one week ban because Herr SS ist the boss!!rodgerfox wrote: ↑Sat 16 Mar 2019 9:59amHow?BackFromUSA wrote: ↑Sat 16 Mar 2019 5:42am
“Gubby Allen has a horrible name inside the industry for double dealing.

Both of these statements breached the rule.
He didn't say he thinks Allen is horrible, or that he thinks Finnis is a joke. He just said that it's an industry opinion.
It’s a total joke - agree what you’ve said RF

Just saw this, admitted mistake, let’s move onBackFromUSA wrote: ↑Sat 16 Mar 2019 4:43pmYou are correct. I should have counter argued. And I have done so subsequently. Sometimes as a human we make decisions and in the fullness of time know that the decision wasn’t the best. I can’t get it right 100% of the time and happy to admit when I get it wrong. What it did expose is that 1 week can be too harsh a penalty in some instances of that particular rule and I have adjusted the rule to alllow mote flexibility. Criticism is fine BUT this was a veiled assisination of their professional reputation. This upset me because unless something has changed in the past 6 months I know both statements to be incorrect. Made a bad decision in banning him for a week. He do however deserve something for inaccurately depicting their industry reputations.The_Dud wrote: ↑Sat 16 Mar 2019 4:01pmHe didn’t insult them personally, just said they were bad at their jobs. People might disagree and present a counter argument, but flat out banning for that seems a bit heavy handed.
