God I loved those days. Spelly, Spurt etc.

Enjoyed the old fan forum football too.

Yes good times and done good posters back then some no longer with us sadly

This still put red flags up for me....scary control he had..


Mangas: Why do you handle contracts?

Grant Thomas: I head up the Football Department, and I am in a good position to evaluate and negotiate.

GT’s autocratic style aside, surely the golden time is now…
Ever since I joined the forum, I believe the tenor and quality of posts have lifted.


Ha…
TBH, I’m not that stupid to recognize that the times have changed, and Big Footy is probably where the majority of under 120 year olds go, if they are inclined to join a ‘traditional forum’. And I guess, that hundreds of great posters have been fed up and quit over the last twenty years…

I wonder if the ‘tenor of the times’ in respect to language in particular, has put people off. What has been the most disparaging thing?

Brings back memories.

How did you find that

[asiu]

empowering by including the peasantry

smart


... i'd love to see one with barks questioning
hitouts to advantage

[shanegrambeau]

It must have been a very exciting time to be a fan…late 2003…

And genuine positivity coming from so many angles…

Look at those questions. You can feel the joy.

I remember the old fan forum. It got pretty rabid on there at times.

Interesting. I have no recollection of a poster called happy feet.

What Nick were you using back in those days?

I can’t remember to tell you the honest truth. I only have used HF on here. A bit like trying to remember the plethora of passwords and pins we all have these days.

It might have been The Shadow or The Tank but I’m really struggling to remember. I do remember the war on Patrick Smith.

[B.M]

I remember

The shadow many years ago

I remember meeting the Shadow when I was a kid, and the Doc. Great memories.

I sent a fax once to Patrick after he complained that banger had won a brownlow and that his boy Wayne wanker Carey hadn't.

I pointed out that the brownlow was for fairest and best, which Carey wasn't.

The prick chased down my phone number and rang
me complaining.

Pathetic prick

It did get rabid but had character
Barks was a fav of mine
I liked Joffaboy
There’s so many I’ve forgotten...not Spelly or Krabi
Many good memories when Telstra Dome was getting going

[Wayne42]

I remember a couple of dudes, Jeffers and Teffers forever posting nothing memorable.

Yes he was a pathetic sort of bloke. I remember when he read what was written about him on the FF he went to the club and tried to shut it down, I think any post that contained the phrase Patrick Smith was disallowed but it was gotten around by using something similar. I think someone came up with Fatpryck Smyth. And it sruck too.

I rang the Age another time to speak to him. They said he works from home and gave me his home phone number.

Unreal, I could have been a serial killer.
