Ladies and Gentlemen,
This site has never been the most endearing to the club or even parts of our own fanbase. A common piece of feedback I receive privately is that some find it too negative or drama-filled, which is why many choose to stay away. At times we clash hard and put each other down, the club, the players, and even Super, who pays for this site out of his own pocket. Some of this could understandably offend players’ families. In conversations I’ve had with people within the club’s hierarchy, the club takes a fairly open-minded view and accepts that it can’t control what others say or think. That’s a mature approach.
That said, I believe the majority of us are good eggs, mean well, even if some are rough around the edges and a small minority hold more extreme views. Over the past decade, I’ve met many wonderful people through this site, some of whom I now count as close friends and have learned a great deal from. You’re a big reason I’m still here and why I care about this community.
If you’re willing, I’d appreciate your thoughts on the direction the site should take. Ultimately, Super will decide, but it’s helpful to understand how people feel, here or privately, on:
- Current affairs and political blogs: Even if personally enjoy them, these often become the most feral and attract extremist views, especially in challenging times. They can flood the site and turn off many who simply want to talk footy, the one thing we all share. Life has enough dramas.
- Moving these blogs to The Cave: Making them members-only may be a win-win, it allows discussions without overwhelming those who’d want to avoid it.
- Any other ideas for improving the site.
Please don’t comment on political, religious or current affairs issues in this blog. This is about improving the site, not saving the world from an apocalypse.

The people on here are honest, vitrolic, humerous, insulting, lovable and dumb as dogshit!...Yeah, not a bad joint 'eh...i think I have made single comments that contain all of those elements.
Some of us here are extremely difficult to moderate (re Randy vs Monto the Mod) and the style of sites moderation determines whether I will actively participate. .also, have changed your meds or just had a breakthrough with the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy? Either way, good stuff
Thanks, Pops. That was well said & thank you for understanding & deep empathy. The problem I have with The Cave is if we lose people like you from participating. If we added a racetrack, a lake & fishing boats in there, as sweeteners, would that work?
Is Scarlet Johanssen too old for me? Those other things you mention are just daily additions. LOL
Scarlet is too hot for you
Hey Randy, coincidently I was looking at Cognitive Behaviour Therapy as i am scared stiff of Dementia, whats not healthy for me at the moment is that my hearing makes it difficult to understand and whilst I have hearing aids, the specialists have said I will never be 100% again in a hearing capacity.
Luckily my second shoulder (right one) replacement happens in April and the other good news is my dick shows no sign of dropping off.
PS Don't tell Scarlett, I would prefer to surprise her! lol...... off to Bali in March, going to give the pool bar a good thrashing!
That all sounds like me😳
The shoulder, the hearing or the dick Bobby and no you can't share Scarlett......
Dave all of the above and was that Scarlet or Charlotte
Ok, you can have Charlotte and I will have Scarlett, what's a fantasy among friends LOL
Charlotte is a spider. He is setting you up hector
