It is a bit thin skinned to need a separate 'realistic comments' section, rather than the Mary poppins variety.

There was a lot of truth, for example in that bomberblitz link Marty posted. Truth hurts sometimes

Funny that no one answered the question in the OP title.
You don't love what happening so why bother so much time on something you despise.
Not the club but what's "happening to it"
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

People are passionate. Why wouldn't they care about their club

How long can you remain passionate on the one hand when on the other the pursuit seems futile?
Very little genuine hope in some posters which makes we wonder why they bother

Dear everybody,
                         Rights & respect cut two ways .... am I right?    :cheers

True.

I guess for balance a thread should be started demanding site members stop posting ridiculously positive posts.....because we don't agree.

Nah, we'll take the high moral ground as per usual

I did not suggest that his game was perfect but in particular one poster claimed that he missed a 15mt kick by 10 mt I knew that to be rubbish and when challenged the said poster failed to back up his claim.


Look, I don't know what poster you are referring to, but maybe he was exaggerating the 10 meters. In the end what does it matter though? He missed a simple kick that no AFL footballer should miss and the issue with this is he misses kick on a regular basis

If you want to see the video of what (I assume) he was referring to, watch the link. It also shows his second stuff up straight after

I found that after a few posts the claimant would stop posting on that subject as they were found to be making an idiot of themselves as the facts proved otherwise.


Bump.

Watch the video yet?

The kick was just 1 foot (30 cm) too high, big deal Houli kicked it four times to Hawthorns advantage but I don't see the same level of hostility directed toward him by some posters.
Dusty made mistakes too no-one calling for his head.  All three players made mistakes but all three were good players for us against Hawthorn.

How many simple kicks did they miss? How many good things did they do? Conca didn't do many. But let's defend him for missing a STATIONARY TEAMMATE FIFTEEN METRES AWAY. Should of hit him on the tit nice and simple, not gone over his head

spot on, his kicking is a real concern. have said it from day dot, his ball drop is atrocious and thus his kicking will always be suspect.
