Even worse, it sounds like the club was asking for feedback from its members in the first place. FreoGirl is that how it came about?

Hopefully they will, in time, get over that massive disrespect. My thought's go out to the junior executive.

It’s hard to actually make a judgement call because we haven’t actually seen either email, just a summary. When I worked at a supermarket, plenty of people would complain a lot and it ran a full spectrum of rude to polite. Just because you think the initial email was polite doesn’t mean it was, and without seeing the reply, we can’t make a determination on that either
FWIW I emailed membership support at the start of the year because it had been a few years since I was a member and I was wondering how the ticketing system worked. The response was quick, professional and contained everything I needed to know.
The best case scenario when emailing about a matter of opinion (player signing, team makeup etc.) is basically just an auto reply. They get thousands of these things a week, so if the initial email sounded like someone angry with the signing, an email back with options to cancel the membership isn’t particularly surprising.

Has he tried writing a letter to the editor of the West?
Does he have crayons?

I mean, the club could have easily responded "well I'm sure he won't take long to convert you" or something to that effect.
It's not something I care too much about but gee wizz say something against the BigFooty hivemind and they jump on you pretty quick.
They could have finished at the first sentence or added:
Thank you for letting us know your thoughts, we trust the list management team to do the right thing.
Agree with this.
At the same time, it’s not like Bell or Garlick is answering these emails, they would never even see this type of correspondence.
Probably some intern or kid on minimum wage replying to this kind of thing.
FreoGirl concerns about the trade are fair and valid. It’s a perfectly reasonable position to take. We paid an extremely high trade capital price in an excellent draft too by all reports. If this price had been paid in the 2020 draft for example, we’d all be laughing now but it could be very different in 2024.
I thought we overpaid too, but we still had to do the trade. JLs career is on the line next year. He fills a massive need for us. Another 3 kids at peel aren’t much use to us in 2025.
There is no questions on Boltons talent - he’s absolutely class. The question is will he bring the desperation and willingness to go to extreme lengths, over a sustained period of time in his play? Thats just a non-negotiable thing that no player can avoid in a modern premiership side regardless of their talent.
The reality is Bolton phoned it in for most of 2024. None of us know the reasons why this happened. If that continues at freo the trade will be a big L for us.
I just hope he plays like a player that never won a flag before for the next few years. Driven, desperate, hungry for success.
If he does Freogirl needn’t worry, we will win the trade easily.
