Get out of Etihad, play some of our our home games in Tassie, and some at MCG. Move the club back to Junction Oval.

Couple of questions MM

How well did Justin Sweeney's career pan out?

How well do you know Arryn Siposs' dad?

All you had was personal insults, which at the time I found pretty ordinary... As they got a bit too personal, which said something about what sort of bloke you are?

Lets discuss the ego thing?!

I make an opinion? Which is allowed on a forum.... You and some apologist cronies who don't like to hear those opinions (perhaps because they cut to the bone) just go on a personal attack, often ignoring the point? Generally because you have nothing?
What actually smacks of ego, is not allowing someone to have an opinion... And then speaking on people's behalf, like you are in the judgement poison... What a joke.
3 types of what??...... What a old of ROT!

A quick case in point
Even on this thread, you rolled out the old Attilla call.... Not relevant to anything, but when you have nothing, please do clutch to a straw.... But perhaps have knowledge of the bloke, before exclaiming that his opinion actually counts for anything... A positive about him, is that his son can play footy....

Do I think I know more than any other poster.... Just a few, the ones who don't debate the footy issue....

That's the reason to dump it.........how about any team... Anywhere??

How about figuring out why we were losing to Port? Not their Home Ground?? Why was it the case....

Possibly our game style/players didn't stand up in tough conditions, players were flat track bullies, perhaps Port were just a better team??

Best solution... Run to the comfort of the indoor stadium???

Instead of deal with the issue, of why couldn't we win there... Took the easy option...

We didn't embrace Tassie.... So we lost and left

Hawthorn did..... What a windfall!

Another example of weak management..... And yes GT and that board is responsible
And I was the only person at the AGM that day that stood up to BUTTHEAD and said it was a weak and shortsighted decision to leave Tassie and that one day it would come back to haunt us. That day has come. I still remember that day clearly in that when I asked BUTTHEAD why, he just said it was a decision the board had made and quickly went on to the next person with a question.

The Dome certainly costs us if we don't get the breakeven crowd..


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Unlike you, I'm happy to answer questions directed at me.
Firstly, you seemingly again have me confused with somebody else.
Not a problem for me but it shows once again, iMHO, that you are confused.
I was not on this forum when you were making comments about Sweeney, so I have absolutely no idea why you want/need me to comment about his career. It has as much relevance as me commenting about Tim Elliot's career in this argument.

As for Mr Siposs, I have never met, seen or spoken with him. What does that matter?
The relevant point is that he felt so aggrieved by something you posted about his son that he came on here to take you to task.
He was responding to YOU and YOUR OPINION.
Not mine
Not anybody else's, just yours.

So I'm not sure how his criticism of you and your opinion is irrelevant.

And please point out a single post from anybody where you were denied the ability to post your opinion.
Like anybody else we are all allowed an opinion on here.
If we choose to post it then it is there to be agreed/disagreed with.
Unfortunately it appears that unless a poster agrees with your opinion 100% then they are, in your eyes, worthless.

And I love how you play 'the victim' and at the same time tarnish all those who don't wholeheartedly join you in your constant carping of anything/everything the Club does as 'apologists'.

Yes BM, your ego is shining through as per usual.

You were definitely the person who took major offence at me declaring Sweeney a poor draft choice and kid who didn't deserve an opportunity over other kids....please don't lie about that, I have quit the forum only once for a period.... And that was because of a comment you made in poor taste IMO in 2008 which you were throwing vitriol in my direction....

As for Mr Siposs, I know him, his wife and all of the kids.... In a better position to judge whether I should take any comment he made seriously at all.... And I don't... Perhaps ask some people who might know him, what he's like, before sprouting off because he had a go at me (which most on here thought was ridiculous) .. I really liked Arryn, hope he does really well.... That's why I wish I had not revealed I knew him, but in saying that.... Never said anything negative about him anyway?!

If you're quoting EGO I think you need to think about the tone of your posts also.... Not sure you do

I take offense at being called a liar for no reason.

You are 100% wrong.

I picked you up on Nick Heine when you labelled him no good after about a quarter in a Sandringham game.
So you are wrong again but that doesn't stop you from making accusations against others.

I'll type it slowly for you so you can both read and comprehend.

I t w a s n o t m e w h o a r g u e d w I t h y o u o v e r S w e e n e y.

We went through all of this less than 12 months ago so I can only assume you are deliberately making this false accusation or you suffer from memory loss.

And lastly, Mr Siposs came on to lambast you, not me.
He didn't like/appreciate the opinion of his son that you posted and chose to publicly tell you, and the rest of the forum, about it.
By your last comment you've obviously forgotten what you posted about Arryn to cause Mr Siposs' response.
You can choose to deal with it by making distasteful comments about him, but the rest of us who read what he posted saw what he thought about the way you coached/treated his son.

As for EGO, I suppose it's only natural for you to display it given you've apparently been given permission to speak on behalf of 'most' on here.
