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.

Good try. But no that won't get you off the hook. May as well claim calling someone a poof can be a gay or straight slur.
I am not on the "Hook" You seem to be asking all the questions of late......Do you mind telling me why I am "on the Hook"
I have read your comments and you keep repeating the same questions, my guess is your posts are contributory to angst and offer no resolution or reasonable discussion that has not already been had.
PS. there is not a person on this site I have not had a blew with, so don't try and put me on your list. Not only am I not on the hook....I have no interest in biting.
Hey pops and ladies I'm guilty of dropping that least favourite word of yours just recently in this blog My bad and my apologies for any offence taken I'll now let myself out
Merry Christmas, Rex, to you and the family. Stay well. Pops still loves you even if you use that word.
Hey Rexy, first of all Merry Xmas and don't worry there are a few "glass houses" in my statement. I am not the most classical of examples to apologise to.
The word has been known to slip out every now and again verbally, but I try to avoid it on here, that said I am sure it has happened. LOL
PS Its the thought that counts.
NB why i am here Merry Xmas to everybody and Hoey to you and your beautiful wife.........you are doing a great job with no rewards other than your left and right wing children of this site....luckily us centrists don't need the nappy changes as often. LOL
Merry Xmas to you and yours Pops and all the best for the new year
There's a funny saying I don't remember who said it originally It goes Australians call their mates c#@&s and their enemies mate Still no excuse when there's ladies present though We're just off to see the grandies Hope everyone on this site has a great day It's been a pleasure
Thanks HOE Back at ya
All the best to you and yours
I love a good argument in real life and on here - I dont look for it but it invariably finds me.
To be fair, a good debate or argument makes me feel alive and gets the heart pumping.
Clear headings
This would also help Super with Goolgle search visibility i suspect...maybe some guidelines for headlines?
