im hoping to become the first gumbie suspended!
I shall fight you for that honour.
With my 6 arms and long proboscis I am sure to be victorious in the ways that I can be suspended.
Although I am also a Saint, so maybe people will just assume they deserved it and not report me to begin with... hmm, a conundrum.

Everyone else can poke fun at Striker for failing reading comprehension.
What did I do this time?

What did I do this time?
It is the role of any good captain to take a step back and allow promise to shine through in key positions. It is how I dominated the ruck last season and it is how the Doc will produce the good this season.
Explain how attempting to avoid being involved is being shut out? This is reading comprehension. 2 matches this preseason I've purposely gone out with an intent to not have me in the team, because I do not want to see a repeat of last season with me storming the club B&F, I want to see a group of individuals snapping at my heels and overtaking me and to engineer that every chance I get to make a team because pete is busy I will work towards that end and cop whatever the sim throws at me because I know that in 2 seasons being 2nd in the EKA, 3rd in the Mobbs and AA in both seasons plus being asked to be the v/c is a friggen honour to be regarded as such.
Now I don't care, honestly, people have lols and I'll cop it, but frankly, and there is no animosity here, but I'd have liked to be able to use the centre position as I desire when I desire to reward a poster or individual for strong performances. But I defer to pete for the good of the club and one of your first acts as a Gumby is to turn around and troll it and its v/c publicly.
This is cheap in my view, and I'll cop it, I'm a big boy, but you're a fair way below my expectations of how a Gumby would act after that effort.
Sure I'm probably out of line and not helping things and this is probably better in PM's than in the club thread, but I'm also of the school of thought that dirty laundry is bad and we're both mature enough to deal with it and respect each others opinion.

That's fair to some extent. I'll be honest and say, though, that it wasn't aimed to be a cheap shot at you personally - in fact, it's very admirable. I didn't want it to be taken as a poor shot - rather, what I was intending was for Winners and Losers and the POWER Rankings to be a regular feature of the SFA, regardless of whatever team I am a part of. At this stage, I might drop W&L anyway - it's not as easy to stir the pot with as the POWER Rankings, and, to be honest, may seem far more petty.
I should have probably been clearer with you guys before doing so though. That's my mistake.

Nah I figured that it wasn't hence me not being overly phased, but it doesn't hurt to ask to make sure so we all know where we stand.
W&L probably needs a panel so it becomes more of a "group"effort than a solo "well he's just bitter" effort, maybe getting some of the lesser known or active trolls into it might help with keeping activity levels up? If you do end up keeping it, I'd also suggest just a quick pm so the individuals know if they're singled out it's not a swipe, otherwise you'd be pretty stuck with established names as the only ones being able to cop it sweet and know from the get go the probable intent.
I was in a rush so haven't read the game yet. Disappointing that we lost
Maybe we could get a couple of practise matches going to keep posting high.

That match was cancelled thanks to a hail of protest by people sick of the Trolls stealing their thunder and clogging up the board with practice matches.

There seemingly is, have just touched base in the Bombers thread to see if they're interested in pracing up, given this new information that has come to light from individuals who clicked into and read the infringing thread.
So will sort something out if they respond favourably.
