It's been happening a lot around here…

Sometimes you just have to return fire which is something I am having to do far more these days. Not sure what's going on here but people really attack personal opinions very strongly and get vicious too. I don't like returning fire but sometimes you just don't want to be walked over by others…. :rollin
Why thank you YBB  and its the same few all the time but pee weak mods let em get away with it all the time and then wonder why it becomes nasty.

Al gets all upset  because i refuse to let him and his cronies walk all over me and point out how freakin stupid and juvenile they really are.

As i said i will probably cop a ban but you know what i dont give a stuff its not that important if im here or not.Would be nice to just be able to put out a footy opinion in a good footy debate with out having to put up with all their rubbish.

Can anyone tell me if Nathan Broad looks like playing regular senior footy this year? He was all the rage when he was drafted, and I'm really not sure why......
I work in Africa and they were taking the pee out of me for saving Africa.......

Not just having a dig here but imo he has more to work with than Batch. And should be given first crack at it.

Claw, I know!  I can't believe we let McIntosh roll around for most of the year in a Moonboot when he could've been starring in our back half!  Shame on us!  Whacks all round!    ::) 
HAHA!
Lots of people name their swords......

On the the tough calls headline.
WHAT tough calls you have to have good options to make tough calls what options are there.The only calls this club has to make is to stop playing utter shizen players and try some kids instead.
Never has it been so true when it comes to talls the cupboard is bare outside of two.

Who ever said "never played"?
You are the one that continually counts a time that certain players have spent being unable to play due to injury as time they have been in the system and as such they should be improving on account of "being in the system"

Quote
Look if you dont think a player can improve injured or not once he goes into an afl system then great you show your ignorance

Now, if you are going to make such comments, why is so unreasonable to have you explain yourself.

Why do you think you are so special that what you say should be above reproach and people should not be able to question you. You never explain such things in a rational logical manner, but instantly resort to personal attacks?

You are all so happy to criticise others constantly and relentless and tell the world how much better you are/ more you know than anyone else, but heaven forbid anyone question or disagree with you. You cry like a princess and the tantrums start, consisting of nothing more that aggressive personal responses.

It really does seem that the more a person is willing dish it out, the less capable they are of handling what they dish being put back on them.
Shows such a wonderful strength of character, that does.

So once again, how does a player improve his footy during time he isnt playing footy. Im sure I'm not the only one ignorant to this unique insight you have on player development.


If  you think Kamdyn just magically improved in his third yr and there was no development in his first two.  That is basically what your saying. your also saying he played no footy and did not train but hey that has been shown to be totally wrong, thats okay fine you think that way, good onya  you keep pushing that barrow.
What i dont get is when will the penny drop Pardon the pun.  im not interested debating anything with a ... sadly that shoe fits you to a tee,

You have already been shown to be wrong yet like the little person you are you just cant let it go.It is a problem bud and it drives people away from this site in droves.Why would you even bother try having debates with people who clearly want no part of you amazing.

I recall this discussion well. Whats got lost in translation is there were some posters (of which I was one) that felt Kamdyn was copping some harsh criticism by some other posters bc "he had been in the system for 2-3 seasons now, and thus you couldnt argue lack of development". The argument against was that even though he'd been in the system that long, a fair chunk of that time he was out due to injury therefore it probably wasnt fair to say hes been in the system that long and therefore no excuses etc etc. Of course he did develop in that time and had the opportunity to, but some of us felt he should be cut some slack bc it wasnt black and white.
