Do any of our players read these forums.

[desertsaint]

I retired early so I could read this site without feeling hurt.

[skeptic]

Yeah Siposs' father came on here and made a bit of an ass of himself... Best to be avoided i think. Unless ur thick skinned

or you're thick

Quality.

Something you'd like to say MS?

I'm guessing that you misread it.

That's correct. If you're a player or related to a player you'd have to be silly to come to a place like this.

lol right

my apologies MS

I heard an interview with Raph and he said he really struggled with the criticism and negativity from the "fans". It ate away at his confidence and made his footy unenjoyable. He was loving playing at the lower grades because the oppressive pressure was gone. The fans should think before they post as most would want our players to get better not fail.

Sometimes you really need to think wether you would say it to the guys face before posting it.

Scrutiny comes with the territory

If you haven't got a thick skin, it will be evident in your footy... As it was in Raphs

So anything goes in your opinion apart from the obvious. No player deserves to be called certain things IMO.

[BigMart]

Nice try,

No, I don't believe I said anything goes? Scrutiny is to be expected, I would have thought?!

Agree within reason. No player should be called a retard or spastic as some on here have said previously. And it doesnt need to be repeated by the same people all the time. We get it when someone doesnt rate a player.

[BigMart]

Who has called a player a retard or spastic?

Fairly big claims

It may be but it has happened for sure. Im not going to look it up but it has happened and its disgusting.

[BigMart]

With no evidence, it's hard to take that as fact.

Raph was definitely a target, but there was a reason for that...

Fiora was also a target, Savage, Siposs now, Stanley, CJ, McEvoy,... And other... Even Dal?

But if criticism from supporters effects a player, they have issues... Which is probably why they have on field issues.

Football is a great leveller and character test. Any weaknesses got found out, mentally fragile players get sorted out... Chewed up and spat out.

Raph in 2003 was a dead cert to becoming an A Grader... He had ELITE talent.

Look to be honest I dont care if believe me or not but it isnt to hard to look up. One person called one of our players a retard and quoted something you wrote when he said it so it has been said and that only in the last 2 years.

And your statement again doesnt say somethings are off the table so it appears to me that you basically think anything legal goes. Sorry I disagree especially on a public forum. Im not sure because you are an AFL footballer you should be tough enough to take terms like spastic and retard. Clarke didnt make it because of what he was called, he lacked certain awareness. And Im unware Raph was a dead cert to be an A grade before he had even played a game of AFL footy.

[remboy]

I wouldn't many players would take any notice of internet forums. Hearing your own supporters booing you may be another thing.

[BigMart]

It's dangerous to make assumptions or imply I would think

Still don't remember typing anything goes. Assessment of their football ability or game performance is fine, and of course it is an amateur opinion at that...

You really shouldn't speak for others, and if you're going to make a significant claim, back it up?

If someone called players either racially, sexually, culturally, religious or personally denigrating comments. Not sure anyone thinks that is acceptable?

Do you read? I said it isnt hard to look up. I would think that suggests I did and I even said someone said it after one of your posts. You didnt say it. What do you want me to do? Name the persons who said it? Well im not. It isnt hard to look up. And thanks for clarifying what you wouldnt accept. Wasnt that hard was it?

By the way i can back it up very easily. Can you back up hit out to advantage and Pelchen and his 50% increase in T20 picks over 3 years. As you said back it up.

[BigMart]

Not sure I have to clarify too much too you, do I?

You were making some clear assumptions with no basis though?... Which is typical....

Why should I have to look up what you post? I'll just take it as BS like I normally do

Then why bother to tell me to prove it. very weird and very strange. Anyway Im still looking for hit outs to advantage and Pelchen's comments on the internet. They must be avilable to only a few people. People who say things, even if untrue, to hope to prove other wrong. Its a special internet search.

[The Redeemer]

I hear Clint Jones gets on here after every match to read Redeemers comments religiously.

Good.

I hope he takes on board that he is a waste of time and energy considering he is terrible at his job.

Plugger, Mart. Give it a rest. Really, no-one's interested in your ongoing bickering.

Ok. Thats all that has to be said. I suggested something like that to BFUSA. That way we could all moderate each other.

can the moderators set something up where if plugger post first in a thread b mart can't post in same thread and vice versa. Sick to death of the crap back and forth between these two clogging up the threads

You've gotta love it they add colour and get sidetracked which makes it all fun.

Nope. On the case of ongoing baiting and low level abuse though.
