The bottom of a pack. A front on tackle. A contested mark. A gut run........

BBO, give the kid time. Just last season I was certain that he was going to lay a shepherd. He didn't but that's not the point.

Incorrect Sambo06 - we have been the laughing stock of the AFL long long before 29 Apr 2014 - 7:17 PM, which is when Bbo posted his comment, so clearly that comment is NOT why we are the laughing stock.

We are buggered though.

The bottom of a pack. A front on tackle. A contested mark. A gut run........

He baulked Brock McLean and kicked a goal on the run once....

He'll be okay.

I look at the situation in the Ukraine and I can't help but think that if he had a bit more intestinal fortitude there wouldn't be a problem. Don't get me started on the deficit.

Don't start me on the Liberals.

In flying form tonight RTG, keep it coming.

He's not the only one not doing these things...

BBo has been around longer than that mono. His attitude, and that of many others is why we are the laughingstock. Needing to explain this confirms my comment even more. Childish behaviour seems to be a prerequisite around here. I remember the good old days when we used to come here to discuss our Club and other football matters.

To be honest, we have been so bad for the last 7-8 years, that having a laugh has been a great distraction.

We do discuss footy but it is just so bloody hard when you are crap and the best thing we can say is we will get pick 1 next year. We know that doesn't cure all our problems.

Don't blame BBO for the problems of the club, you know he has nothing to do with them.

PS. I am guilty of posting crap too, but I promise to stop as soon as we make a GF.

If you only want serious discussions go to the Melbourne Club or the MCC Long Room. This is footy forum open to the general public at large (privately owned of course). The internet has truckloads of humour and childish behaviour. There's space for all sorts. Get over it.

What is this thread about again?

Humour on a discussion board is why we are a laughing stock? What on earth are you babbling about?

I actually enjoy BBO's and Biffen's ramblings on this board. I also am highly amused by Barn Dee's grammatically challenged posts and ENYAW's sanity challenged posts. I too enjoy putting up the occasional offering from left field.

What kind of message board would this be if we just came on here totally straight laced and dour? A bloody boring one, that's what!

It would be nice if some of the threads weren't filled with the constant ramblings of the five or six blokes who spend their whole lives here. I would visit more often if I was more confident of reading about football.

Sometimes I open a thread, read two or three posts, skip four or five, think "screw it, even my downtime is worth more than this" and head off to reddit, a website filled with 18-24 year olds... The AFL subreddit has a fair bit more quality football discussion than this joint, most of the time, and the tone of the posts is a lot less childish. Make of that what you will.

So how about that Christian Salem kid ey..

New posters need to push through the barriers - the barriers sometimes being a boys club.

This site has always been very tolerant in regards to free speech, that is what I've found anyway.

So there is no excuse for anyone not to voice their opinion.

Posters might hit a lot of resistance, but they need to push through that.

I don't feel like I can't express my own opinion. I simply can't be bothered reading 14 pages of utter tosh just to find a single piece of enlightening information about the Dees. I think this forum is fairly poorly moderated.

Now, now. Among all the dross in every thread, there are still often small gems (that can lead to enlightenment about the dees) to be found.

Lots of dredging needed, but.

I forgot to add that I like the cut of that new lad wearing number 3.

If he starts against the crows I'm tipping 22 possessions and a goal.

The "ignore" function is your friend.

This forum is moderated?

I'll be pretty disappointed if he is sub again.

So you would like the moderators to remove non-football related posts?

Because there are times they do that and posters fell as though that is 'poor moderation.'

I suggest you use the full functions of the new software that allow you to ignore users if you feel some on here are not worth reading.

There is a really easy solution to this problem autocool.

Don't come on

There is a lot of Luke Hodge in Christian Salem. It's not surprising to hear that he has tried to emulate Hodge's style. Very, very similar kicking style.
