I can't see how you feel justified in bagging Dockerland in this thread.I think the original poster addressed the Bandwagoner notion in the conclusion regarding the term
I.E
And it wasn't a weak analogy, just because you are the first franchise in a market does not guarantee or mean that success is inevitable. That's a fairly basic business principal in a free market economy, i did mention however that it does help if you had read my initial post.
My opinion was in response to your post and was summarised with
Essentially agreeing with the conclusion that the
FELLOW SUPPORTER HAS RAISED
Bigfooty BTW or for that matter most forums is about debate. If you agree or disagree with a posters opinion in a thread you have every right to make a response.
It's not Dockerland after all.
The initial marketting and appeal for West Coast fans was that the WC were a WA franchise. This meant that they had an extensive supporter base (latent at times I admit). Are you arguing with this?
Later, when Freo came in the marketing focus and appeal for new supporters was based around West Coast being around for longer and having had more success. Are you arguing with this?
The marketing focus was based on the heritage of the Fremantle region football wise and attracting a more blue collar clientel. Hence the term "Docker". As oppossed to your above inference.
I can't see how you feel justified in bagging Dockerland in this thread.
A lot of posts there are edited because they are un-insightful or lack clarity. Your posts for example would be deleted because are full of blatant contradictions. You did not answer the question in the the initial post. Your initial post was in response to my post not the thread starter. Why lie?
Now you are misrepresenting yourself?????????
How can you respond to a "conclusion raised" anyway???
The free market thing is ludicrous. You're saying that it was a free and competitive market when there was only one team in the market?????? "Success" in football/business terms is gaining a greater share of the consumer market. This was guaranteed by the Weagles monopoly
You are continuing to prove that the "no-nothing" Weagle stereotype has merit Bestbird. Trying to make a "clever" analogy is only making things worse.
Yeah, we have a lot of idiotic supporters.
Freo fans have a massive chip, apparently we're condescending and don't give them enough respect. Poor darlings.
And a lot of other fans are annoyed that we talked up our team all year and we actually won, despite everyone saying we couldn't. Plus we have Judd on our team.
I refer to the Weagles marketing campaigns pre and post Dockers and you try to correct me by saying this?
Again your lack of reading comprehension skill is amazing. It's the second time in this thread that you have highlighted my post yet haven't even read it properly. Amazing!!!????

Actually it was probably your splitting of your point into two paragraphs that caused the confusion
As i thought that this
Was referring to the WCE and it's inception
And this
Was referring to Freo and it's inception and finding there own niche in regards to new supporters
That post was a joke. You need to lighten upTo the original poster: Ask and you shall recieve;
This is exactly why. Because of idiots like this, who post crap like this, when someone else gives "constructive critism" about their football team.
Heres a bit of advice Quinzate, learn to take critism about your football team on board, it might make you fell better when the hangover begins in late March '07.
Until then, enjoy your summer
That post was a joke. You need to lighten up
Gotta agree Quinzy, a lot of people here need to take some of this crap with a grain of salt.
And to echo a previous post you are one of the few of your mob who is half human.
Ooohh, I feel all dirty. I'm going for a shower.
What i cant stand is a supporter ( as in WA ) who goes for the Eags one week and the Dockers the next.In WA we have what are called theater goers, or as Mark Knoppler says tourist. These are people who have never seen a WAFL game or any other grade. They only come along when where up. I suppose you could call them bandwaggoners.
Either i,m getting to old Bushie, Or you,ve been away in Northern Siberia.Incisive comment there Royaly.
But who the hell is Mark Knoppler??
Either i,m getting to old Bushie, Or you,ve been away in Northern Siberia.
Sorry mate, i thought you were taking the ***s. Knoppler was the lead singer in the band called Dire Straits.I get the feeling I am not the only one who doesn't know who Mark Knoppler is mate.
So if you don't mind, tell me will you.
By the way I am an old bastard as well.
Sorry mate, i thought you were taking the ***s. Knoppler was the lead singer in the band called Dire Straits.
Oh of course. Mark Knoppler. How silly of me
The Sultan of Swing fella.
Great guitarist, great band.

Maybe your grandma NEEDS correction ! Maybe shes one MEAN GRANDMOTHER !OK, so I've found the King & Queen of the typos.
See Parksy the only thing the chook supporters here need to do is get a brain and go and see some footy somewhere else in the country (which I have by the way from SA to Vic, I haven't been to the SCG) then and only then will they understand how much fun the footy can be if you leave your crap attitude home...
