Is it true that you found okeydoke7 to be bringing the game into disrepute mostly because he wrote a thread that upset you?

On the 21st of September, 2015 at 7:03 PM you made this comment during your campaign to become the Sweet F.A Administrator after former league Admin okeydoke7 would vacate the position:
As demonstrated recently, there is many clubs that are indeed being left behind. The Geelong Wolves are so far gone this season and the clubs who were on struggle street during Season 21 are still on struggle street.
I would say that YOU have failed in having #noteamleftbehind. I am all for chances, but some might say you have lied during your campaign to be admin.
Clearly the captains of these clubs can not do it themselves so what are YOU going to do about these clubs? Will they receive help from the league? Is folding them an option you are looking into?

Do you think Hate is jumping the gun calling for Geelong to fold? Especially when this quoted post from another thread suggests that YOU and YOUR BROTHER should just move to Geelong, prolonging it's death by two season as you have done at the Hawks?

Is your current inactivity a training activity due to your impending Geelong signing?

Depends. Is it unchanged from your round six sheet?
Ask him. You're in the same Facebook chat where most of the business is done.
I've never "texted" anybody to do anything. You refused my Facebook friend request. Remember your own damn teeth.
By the way, the comment would go less "Hey, you haven't brushed your teeth" and more "Have you brushed your teeth".
I'm actually fresh out of bed with an eye infection. Wasn't given a kick off time on this. I also don't know what Media Monday is, did somebody make up a cute alliteration?

There's a chat that exists? I dismissed the notion the same as I did chemtrails. It's all true though isn't it?! Stabby was right all this time.
Is this secret group open to everyone? I believe we should be promoting transparency within the league, Papa Juggs wouldn't have allowed a secret society to coexist with the league... unless he is also part of it??!

Firstly, I said at the end of last season in the committee room that no team left behind was no longer viable and put the word on some teams that folding wasn't out of the question. This was pretty quickly followed by a record breaking recruiting drive by the league at large. Regardless of that it's round 6, teams aren't being left behind just because one captain isn't getting support. If we were going to judge teams on a month there wouldn't be a Rats or Furies based on previous seasons. A season of slow match threads isn't a team getting left behind, a captain who can't post a simple team up isn't a team getting left behind. A sustained effort though? Well, that's when the game changes. We can't know though, we've never been there.
Pointless post. Will never be at the Wolves and the Hawks are healthy.
It was your team's captains that needed to create BigFooty accounts for workmates with a day to go before the season started. Sliding Doors there was roughly a 24 hour period where there was a good chance the Bears didn't have a valid team this season. Definitely something I've never seen in my time in the league. The Bears may be top if a sim but no team has given more me cause for concern as admin, Royals and Wolves included.

I don't remember asking a question about the Bears. Do you always get personal when you feel threatened? Am I bringing the game into disrepute now?
Personally, I would have thought a Moderator would have abstained from running smear campaigns such as the faux concern he had for anything other than his own team. Why will you never be at the Wolves... I thought it was #noteamleftbehind? Or just not the one's that bent to your reasonable demands?

Hi Millky.
My biggest failure as admin not using the committee as much as I should have in my first pre-season and making some decisions such as the 22 match season without getting second and twelfth opinions. There's been a general shift since then which is apparent.
Success wise, I think the SPC pre-season cup started fantastically, dropping off a little in the second half. I think that can be improved upon in future incarnations with a little re-jigging. I also think the tribunal was a success and built some controversy, I just wish that there was about half as many episodes (hence its current hiatus). I'm a big believer in the fantasy of the Sweet FA being the "show". The glee at captains getting punished and the flip to outrage when it is your team. The amount of falsehoods that have weaved their way into Sweet FA fact. The return of the heel. Nothing should ever be taken seriously so when it does happen, the legitimate whiners and those that leave, well, that's just part of the fun.

You should start reading more. NTLB is unviable.
Fact is, nobody is safe and at an instance a team can start to unravel. I'm merely informing you that even the league leaders were a day away from being omitted from the league because they bled a few too many players, didn't recruit and then had the last exiting player announce it on the last day of deadline. I frankly don't see how the Wolves are in a worse position than a few teams, they're obviously struggling in the leadership department but that can be expected six weeks in a season when a teams captain departs and a list turns over a few guys from an LG. It can also be solved by influencing a few posters to return and re-formatting a leadership group.

Ignorance is only bliss when it pertains to yourself. If Geelong folds your time as Admin will be deemed a failure, more so than Quiv's stint at captaincy.

We have one of these teams every season. It's really low on my list of priorities.

Hi The Filth Wizard,
At the time you made your stance on how no teams will be left behind, the Gold City Royals (we can probably throw the Demons and Hawks in there too) were on struggle street and during your reign as Admin they have yet to improve. Now you have the Wolves who (and yes, I will judge them off of 6 rounds) are in the same territory - they can turn it around this season, but we know that isn't going to happen.
I think it's a disgrace that you have gone back on your #noteamleftbehind stance and are not willing to offer help or doing anything about these struggling clubs and instead sit back and act as if they are going along swimmingly.
What on earth does the 'record breaking recruiting drive' have to do with the struggling clubs? None of the battlers have benefited from it.
Whether you want to admit it or not, teams are being left behind under your watch and you have not followed through with saying that none of them will be left behind. It's a massive blight on your time as Administrator.

No comment. Gill McLachlan likely doesn't answer Kevin Bartlett's call either.
