I will say this, I read both TC and BF but only ever post here.
Everyone and I mean everyone here ... even the people who I may not agree with seem to be able to carry on with sensible debate without resorting to personal sledging etc.
TC is a ferrari compared to BFs motobike.
Having said that I do not know one supporter here who would not give 5 years off his life for a premiership next year ... and generally I think, at least on this site, there really is not that many if any ferals.
I will go so far as to say that as long as the boys play for the jumper come win or lose we are not feral. When they disrespect the jumper and show zero ticker ... well .... I am sorry but if I was given the chance to play for the mighty Blues I would leave a pint of my blood on the field each and evry flower week.
I remember the Hawthorn game last year .... yeah we were dissapointed but all acknowledged the red hot go .... compare that to the Dawks game this year.
So yeah, we do not expect miricles but we do expect ticker, when we do not get that then I have no problem voicing my concerns.
I know that quoting somebody else's post is a lazy reply BUT this post encapsulates everything that I have to say on the subject. We are definately not the worst supporters in the league and the record memberships in the spoon years supports this, but we DEMAND that the players give their all regardless of how much or how little that is.
Weak, disinterested and inept performances are not acceptable regardless of opposition or where we are on the ladder. The Hawthorn, North Melbourne and Collingwood debacles highlight this point.
If the expectation that the players put in everything every game labels me a feral, then I proudly wear that badge.
