Not gonna lie, this board gets better by the day.

Is that opinion or Intel?

Nothing will ever exceed the North Melbourne board and Snakebakers meltdown

Kinda starting to feel we should lay off Westcoast88 and his new alias TheNewAnchor

Strong indicators of mental health problems. And I don't mean this in a derogatory way, but a genuine concern that either he has some real world issues he's dealing with or that he's on the spectrum.

There is a difference between mental health issues that are a detriment to the sufferer and personality disorders such as acute narcissism.

I’ve always had so much respect for people who blow their own trumpet

First things first, and credit where it’s due






These were correct. I might point out that the pick split was already being regularly discussed when you made that post and that there were several WA options in the anticipated range if we did trade back. But regardless, your post was on the money

No qualifying the Phillipou info though. It only came out later that he wasn’t interviewing well. The comment re him not wanting to move to Perth is hard to prove but he is on record as saying he wanted to play in Melbourne before big crowds so there’s validity to your Perth comment

So yes your info was right

Now,

I didn’t exactly call you a liar or BS artist but did initially question your sources which is common when any poster, particularly a new one, claims inside information. This is what I posted




Pretty standard. You’ve been quite animated in recent posts questioning the validity of another poster who has a far longer record of posting here so don’t get precious when others initially query your bona fides

Back to the trumpet blowing




Did we accept a raw deal?

Not really. History shows it worked out pretty well with people like Mick Ablett calling it a master stroke

Spooked by go home factor?

Maybe. But the WA players were around the mark at our picks and comments prior to, and after, the draft by O’Brien indicate we were prepared to draft from interstate. To be back that up we then drafted a SA kid followed by two Victorians

So your intel was right, well done. Give yourself a medal

I won’t speak for other posters but here’s the problem(s) I have with you as a poster

• Comprehension skills. You have none. Regularly you mistake questioning for criticism and extrapolate what you think posters are saying when they said nothing like what you claim.
• Victim complex. Your posts aren’t censored here but you’re in here bleating about being banned or having posts deleted. You were given one ban on this board for mod abuse. The other ban was from admin for surprise surprise incorrectly claiming victimisation elsewhere
• Sarcasm detector. Like comprehension skills, you don’t have one. Posters here take the piss all the time, it’s what makes this board tick, but you simply fail to recognise it
• Hypocrisy. This you do have in spades. You’re in here congratulating yourself for relaying information provided to you by a friend/business associate who has dealings with West Coast whilst simultaneously criticising another poster who has posted more discreet information. Information that’s provided with his own insight and not merely rabbiting what he’s been told third hand
• Back Slapping. So you got something right. Well done. You don’t see other posters in here patting themselves on the back as regularly as you seem to want to
• Misrepresentation. Using the first post I quoted above. I don’t hate that you have intel. On the contrary the more posters here that can pass on useful information the better. But you go on complaining that we all hate you and are out to get you. You’ve put a target on your back, don’t complain when people aim for it

squashface posted a gif a little earlier of a bloke putting his finger to the lips of another in a shhing motion. Later you’ve accused him of threatening to slap you

You’re an idiot who successfully relayed something someone else told you

Keep posting. Stop posting. Whatever. I don’t care

But enough with the whinging about being persecuted

Boooo. Let Keys swear!

Great passion, but lets be real, some posters always get it right.


You know which ones because they constantly tell you how right they are...

 

[Chad in Vegas]

Mitchell unfortunately reportedly into the welfare of partners of ex players hence his wife put her foot down and demanded a return.

Thus ending his reign

Fair call.

But, as someone on the spectrum, can I just say that ASD does not make you a self righteous knob.

Perfectly possible to be on the spectrum and act with kindness and graciousness to your fellow humans.

However, I will say that some of his posts remind me of my posts on a harry potter forum when I was 13

I bet the draft discussions there were ferocious.

My favourite scene in Harry Potter was old mate Dumbledore issuing some words of wisdom:

It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities. I've never been afraid to take on those in power. Always been a renegade a rebel. I speak truth to power what can I say

 

[FKASC]

can someone summarise the last few pages? I lost interest during the private vs public school section

 

[bzparkes]

[UseR2006]

Well, not to derail this train but thought some people might wanna check out Hewy and Ginbey as they front the press today

Since the final list spot announcement of Trew there's been little of substance and mainly just shit-posting.

 

[bzparkes]

Posting footy news in this thread?

 

[TOA.]

I’d get so much more out of detailed additional highlights and the recruiters actually providing genuine detailed insights into the selection, rather than the inane interviews with these kids where the just say how excited they are etc.

The club would have so much footage cut up that could be posted so easily but instead they just rely on half arsed afl.con footage

Who wouldn;t love an honest interview with insights into our recruiters thinking.
ROB comes out and says they were hoping McKenzie or Clark would slip, but happy to settle for Ginbey.
Hewett is a bit if a knob, but the club believes they can get on top of those behavioural issues that forced him to swap schools twice in a year.
Dewar & Baker probably won't make it. But Cat B is a free hit and this is a nice little way to promote the academy pathway. So why not?
Barnett a bit short for a modern ruckman, but with Williams and Jamieson our only other option, we're a bit desperate here.

Nothing like true insider info on our assessment of players to get the fans excited about 2023

Don’t need that but something over the token profiles from the afl website and a one liner from ROB would be nice, and abit of extra footage. Not asking for much I don’t think.

Meh ... I prefer to get the real Intel right here on Big Footy. Much better to get it direct from those prepared to tell the truth, the rebels, the renegades, rather than the boys club that is the people actually involved.

 

[Yeo_Check_Out_ma_Flow]

I bet the draft discussions there were ferocious.

My Intel was correct it looks like. As suggested by me Hufflepuff split picks and got 2 half-bloods. When I suggested this would happen months ago before the Daily Prophet reported it, many on here called BS said I was a liar. I also said Hufflepuff would never select Malfoy based on my Intel. Also correct. I predicted half-bloods with pick slide so I was spot on. To my critics how do those Bertie Bott's Beans taste? . It's nice to be validated when people have called you out and you prove them dead wrong. The so called experts on the forum are not as smart as they think they are. I have a reliable source of Intel within Hufflepuff whether the big egos here like it or not. Eat treacle tart

All this in depth talk of private school boys is making me want to hide my IP address.

 

[Obeanie1]

I feel like it's China with the mods on here. You can't say anything critical about them or you get censored, I'll probably get banned just for writing this. I've never seen a forum so heavily protective of its elite.

Looks like you don't go on many other boards then.

The mods on here are very lenient and let alot go. Especially if posted in good humour.

Other boards you get banned for posting a valid point and no negativity is allowed. You would be perma banned instantly.

So how's about you accept that the problem here is your posting style.......not the mods.......and these elite you mentioned.......what elite? Lol.
