Look, I don’t want to hammer you about this….

But regarding said poster (and any others who may fall into a similar category), I get that you might not consider their input as useful or relevant to your needs, but calling people who devote their time and put words into actions for the club we all support here “losers” seems unnecessarily harsh.

I’ll just leave it at that  

 

Ok I take back the losers part.

That’s the farcical thing. The very posters that will uncritically claim that all ‘anti’ (sic) MFC reporting is ‘BS’, are the very ones that will never be critical of ‘complementary’ reporting. You cannot credibly claim media is ‘BS’ when it doesn’t suit agenda. Still, those certain individuals will continue to act in this way. It’s nauseating. 

In relation to the off field bad press it is common for the opposing party in an action to feed bad press to the media. It appears that the media maybe being fed 'stories' to put a huge amount of pressure on the Dee's to perhaps eek out a huge settlement. Let's face it - the press has been unrelenting for a couple of years.

As BB said "its never as good as they say or bad as they say".

Then the press blame it for our performance on field. It maybe partly responsible but its also due to us playing an unusually large number of young players. Also injury to Tracc and retirement of Brayshaw plus Oliver's issue.

I think our list management and football department are forward thinking in playing talented kids and recruiting  early in the draft. I hope we trade our future 1st and maybe 2nd to get another early pick in this draft. At least we have some 'guns' still playing to educate the youngsters. Eg, Gawn, Viney, May, Lever etc

Everyone please remember the conflict resolution and relationship repair sentence starters;

I feel... (say something about a particular negative feeling - don't generalise)

Because... (give the reasons for that particular feeling - don't go wider)

I would prefer... (describe a realistic change that would help mitigate that particular feeling)

That is very gallant of you, how will you be able to show your face in the playground now though?

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,587]

People who expect other people to publically name their sources are ridiculous.

Ive had two sources in my time and neither of them would have stayed a source at all if I had outted them, one former employee of MFC and a guy I play golf with every fortnight who knows people through sports management. Naming the would have just strained that relationship and their own employment.

Because we’ve all been dkicheads at times and you just have a good wrestle and move on. Plus the playground rocks when it’s packed!

What does how the event was organised or my understanding of how it was organised have anything to do with someone getting blind drunk and harassing players? The B&F isn't an opportunity for fans to buy a ticket and do whatever they want. The guy has had to put up with all sorts of garbage in the media surrounding his future and you're all for this?

There should seriously be guidelines for entry to this event and controversial topics of conversation shoud be forbidden like here, no offence.

 

 

So if I'm sitting at a table and I mention to a mate that "it's good to see Clarrie in attendance and I hope he stays" I should be frog marched from the function? Or if I note that Christian Petracca's cannelloni recipe ain't that good and a rip off. Escorted out?

No doubt your the smartest person here (I've ascertained this through a number of your posts) but you're seemingly berating others for having a different view to yours. All that's missing is the CAPS. .........no offence.

I'm reminded of the quote from 'Stripes'.................lighten up Francis.

Of course the club monitors this site, there was another incident where the coaches were looking for a particular poster to have an open and frank discussion.

You're being silly and since you've had 2 days to respond to the post you're responding to this isn't your best work Return To Glory.

How about do discussion at the event on controversial topics discussed in the media? This is quite different to 'hoping Clarry will stay or talking about a recipe. If you can't understand this then you must have had trouble when Andy put the rules in place about unsubstantiated rumours as well. No offence.

Cool movie though.

Even if a person names their source, people still won't believe them, so there's really no point.  They can't win either way.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,587]

I heard a few weeks back that Clarry was keen to go, havent had an update since.

[Demons11 6,847]

I can see that Max in Qld and I remember Max saying he was trying to get Clarry to go with him and not go to the states.  It seems he has done neither, am I reading to much into it?

Perhaps. Or maybe not enough?

So he was keen to go before we allegedly shopped him?

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,587]

No keen to go after he was shopped.
