Fair enough. I’ll take your point on board. From this post onwards no more politics from me.

I do wonder though. There have been numerous comments about Trump supporters on the footy forum that are allowed to pass without comment. Would posts about Biden supporters be let slide in the same way?

I really don't want to get into politics, so I hope this is my last word on the subject.  Be let slide by whom? I presume you mean other posters since the mods can't chase every short not strictly footy comment.  There have been numerous references to Dictator Dan that slid by. Did those offend you too? They probably offended some.  Remarks that offend one's beliefs tend to be more noticable/offensive than one's that support them.   I know it's tempting to comment (eg. me here), but it's best if we let one-liners that offend our personal beliefs slide by and have a quick nod at the wisdom of posts that support them.

Noted and agreed. Let's move on.

In Germany, dropping the snowball is a free kick. The rumour maybe true. The teabagger is, unfortunately: English Breakfast.

Just looked up teabagging. Oi weh, slanderers and bandicoots and filthy liars. I'm too scared to look up the meaning of snowball dropper. It can't be good...

You're confusing snowballer and Snow dropper with tea bagging.

I'm cornfused enough already. I get cornfused every time I listen to Bolt, Frydenberg and Scomeo; I go to Demonland and the gibberish continues.

I can't stick with Sky news because my wife, my daughter and the neighbours complain about my language.

I was about to hit like on your post until I read the final sentence.

Have a pop at Trump by all means but can we please leave the voters out of it. You’ll never unite if you disparage the other side. They had very good reasons for not voting Biden. And there's zero relevance/comparison between Treloar and Collingwood and Trump voters as if half of America voting republican is some sort of big surprise!

Plus I thought the footy forums were supposed to be apolitical anyways?

I won’t bite other than to say Fascinating response on many levels. Especially for an Australian footy forum. As far as DL is concerned I stand corrected.

The reality is Eddie would switch to Either party whichever he got the best potential deals or policies with. No Loyalty here.

No, I don't reply every time. But I get sick of the baiting tbh. I'm here to talk footy and there's a group of posters here who do it rarely.

"If you continually bait certain posters you will be banned. No more warnings."

 

Serious question Nev, if it's the same group of posters, why not ignore them? chuck them on ignore and then you can get on with talking footy.

Yeah, fair comment. I'll admit I do have them all blocked, but when you know the majority of their posts are having a crack at you it's hard to not be tempted to read them sometimes.

Nev, we all get pi ssed off at posters at times, but its smarter, and causes less grief, to simply ignore rather than to react. Your choice mate.

Let’s face it Mr Bitters - we are the only two here worth reading... and you’ve been off the boil lately.

If you post a rumour and it’s doesn’t come into fruition, take it on the chin and move on. The Flighty LJ one was just extra funny that’s all.

From The Age:

 "while pacy former Crow Jordan Galluci should appeal to clubs such as Melbourne seeking outside run."

I wonder whether he really is on our radar?

A Victorian, originally a high draft pick and does seem to have outside run characteristics.

Don’t see him running for us. We already have a runner, who no one else wanted in trade week.

From what I can recall he’s a midfielder/forward with a bit of theoretical burst speed but never did much of anything in games. Not sure he’s a true outside runner and would only add to the crowded group looking for games in the half forward role
