this behaviour has managed to transport itself across the rail tracks. the online forums and radio talk back are testament to this.

Are you familiar with the cult
of the great leader in North Korea?
Absolute obedience because the great helmsman
knows all, seeing all and he is never ever
wrong.
The great leader, Ed of Broadmedows
will take us to Nirvana every year on the last
day of September if and
only if "perceptive fellow" and idiots like me
would tow the party line and shut TFU!

I disagree, JW. On here, for example, I see a lot of balanced and fair criticism, along with the usual small bunch of people who have an axe to grind, irrespective of what's going on, and the usual bunch of people who think that the Club can do no wrong.
What I do think is troubling, though, is the apparent unwillingness of the vocal minority to accept that they are a very small minority, even after some of them run their own polls and establish just that. |

I think it might help to know that, in circumstances where almost no-one on Nick's takes you seriously, the Club is reasonably unlikely to be persuaded that they should implement your plan. Anyway, remind us again, what is the plan? Self-immolation by the coaching staff, the administration and Jarryd Blair? |

i accept there is some good debate but you hear the same thing in the stands at the footy. there are a lot of supporters who very quickly look to bag our players and anyone associated with the club.

It's not new JW. Used to hear exactly the same back in the 70s. Players go from heroes to zeros in the space of a breath. People express there support in lots of different ways, not much you can do other than challenge them (if safe to do so) when you hear it. |

indeed. the advent of the internet and social means we are subjected to the negative views in greater frequency and quantity.

| I don't think there's anything wrong with negative views, per se - it's the lack of reasoning (and impulse control) that troubles me. |

I also think that what is said in the heat of battle is very different to what supporters think on balance.
This is our first year out of the finals for some time. There are a number of factors that contributed to us getting there and we have all debated these from time to time.
I think the club and its coach at this point of their evolution will be judged by the majority by what it achieve over the next three years.
I am not one that thinks the club can do no wrong but I am also mature enough to understand what it takes to get it right and the effort and planning required.
I also think there is a difference between a fans and a supporters. The supporter is the ones that go to the games and within their means support the club by supporting its events, going to games and buying memberships and other merchandise.
Fans may be very enthusiastic but in a fiscal sense they are the ones that are part of the tv rights. Fans traditionally make a lot of noise but at the end of the day are responsible for little else apart from moving around large volumes hot air.
What percentage of the ""perceptive fellow"" fall into each classification? |

In north korea they like names like member 7167!
Depersonalizes people, shows obedience.
The president would be proud of you.
