My 2 cents

Sadly our world now runs on anger.................I'm not saying I run on anger. I don't think I do............Actually I probably run on frustration, disappointment and sadness that the world runs on anger and selfishness.

After last week's Carlton vs Geelong game, which I attended, I came away feeling very upbeat at what I saw. 1 week later, I was frustrated, disappointed and sad because I knew how TC would react to the performance.

I don't want to become that fickle, so my following of CFC now takes on a familiar route.

I don't watch the game live, unless I actually go to the game, which is less and less. I have Kayo. If we win, I watch the replay, and if we lose, I don't watch the game. I find the disappointment of a poor performance is much more bearable if I live in denial and don't see it with my own eyes.

I really think the 10 years with the Club burned me out. It made me jaded to the opinions of people who don't know what is going on behind closed doors. I'm not saying what is/was going on behind closed doors was/is all fine and dandy. In my 10 years, it never was.

But TC is just a group of folk standing outside the door of the 'Room Where It Happens'. I am part of that group, and I just accept that I don't have enough data to really make any informed decisions. As I result I simple live by the Win/Loss column.

We all want to be here for a good time, but sadly, those times can be few and far between, hence the tendency to anger.

I aim to be rational and not get angry at things I have zero control over. Which is ironic because I find ranting against the current President of the USA very cathartic. Strange days.

I reckon we should rebrand as Talking Garbage.

Seems appropriate and membership should explode!

I've definitely lost interest in the mainstream side of footy media this year. Partly because our team's been pretty crap, but as I've banged on about before, there are simply too many shows. Just can't be bothered.

I reckon that’s complete bullshit mate.

Convince me otherwise you wanker!

@keogh yeah unfortunately a lot of podcasters are putting their hand out for donations, and all this "gimme money and we'll read your comment" is bullshit. Yeah, I get that you're sacrificing time and maybe incurring some costs. I've been there, I published a lot of content in my younger days, gave up 100s of hours of my time but I did it for the love of the material and was thrilled to get feedback. Now the internet is all about monetisation - not only does everyone want to be a star, an increasing number of people want it to be a source of income, hell I've even heard some announce "we'd like this to be our full time job, so anything you can donate...". Well, it was inevitable the internet would be ruined eventually, far too egalitarian... and don't get me started on gofundme...

Living in the UK means I don't see any of these, which is handy when we get smashed, as I can bury my head in the sand until the next week.

I don't have any UK mates who follow the afl, and big footy is too much of a pain to go through

Hence, I'm rusted on to TC for the majority of my footy fix, I don't post a huge amount, but I read the majority.

I agree with Keogh, there does seem to be less of us these days.

I miss Tommi's posts, and there seems to be less variety of posters, but I still go to TC for my main footy fix.

I also think the constant mediocrity of the team has caused a lot of us to lose a bit of the passion required to keep posting

I"m gonna hang around . Lot of great posters who know there stuff . In fact I would say most of the posters on this site are very knowledgable on not just footy but life in general . Shame the numbers have diminished I must admit .

i kinda agree. it's not a quantity thing here, it's the quality.


apart from bondi, everyone pretty much knows their stuff







* jokes, bondi you old turd.

Oh and I hate the collabs with other team podcasts. Why do I give a @#$%&! what Timmy from Tigertalk thinks?

How did you know I'm tanned?
