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 allows discussions without overwhelming those who’d want to avoid it. Could it be a win-win?
- 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.

I've sent you that fresh batch of nudes you've been asking for. And yes that's a real life size Santa hat on the end just for scale purposes ... it was a bloody tight fit .
You sent them to me by mistake (randette is keepimg them) and that Santa Hat looks a lot like a rubber glove finger with some glitter on it
Fuck , they're my Fifi pics from last week in SuperMax
I don't want anymore of your dodgy AI crap wiz
it's worse than the shit coming out of the DOJ
Agree with everything you said
I'm anti terrorism too and I hate that it becomes a pile on of anti semitism if you want the mess in Gaza over as well
I'm not too sure calling someone diabolical for having a flag up when you're on the other side ( not literally ) of the massacre of Jews on our shores is a great look. You or I don't know whether Brett has Jewish ties. Let's not get carried away venting from behind the assumption you know what his motives are. You are kind of sounding like what you're accusing him of .
I am responding to both you Mark and Poppa here.
I take the point that I am coming across as being very judgy of Brett Allen. I do not resile from my criticism of him - I have my reasons. He and I have gotten into it on several occasions and he's made it pretty clear that he does not like black people. Particularly after I referenced the death of Emmett Till.
My wife is African American. So I took that personally.
To be fair to him, he did have a bad experience in the States where a gun was apparently pulled on him by a black person but, conversely, my wife has had a gun pulled on her by a white person. Not sure whether one negative experience should frame a person's view of an entire race.
But, and let's be fair dinkum for a moment - I only raised the topic of Brett because you (and others) seemed very determined to use the 'expulsion' of Brett as a reason to attack Super. I was simply providing an explanation as to how his absence has come about - and it quite elegantly tied into comments I wanted to make about policitical discourse.
But, you are both right, I am being judgmental and I will now refrain from making further negative remarks about Brett.
I don't know ask Albo.
That's where all social media is headed including blog sites like this.
Every site member selects the topics or posters they'd like to see and only these blogs or contributors will show up in their thread.
This way they don't have to pull out the razor blades everytime they see negativity or opinions opposing there's or heaven forbid, a poster pointing out the 40 year drought.
How dare you mention the 40 year drought. Thats the most triggering topic on the whole site!
