Would like to get some other opinions on this as I find this highly interesting!!!!
In my part time work as a Lecturer I often encourage debate amongst my students and encourage them to look at the situation without emotion.
This however can be very hard to do when it comes to football as it is such an emotional pastime.
Jim & MB have accused me of having an opinion of which is derogitory to the Carlton Football Club and does not make me a true supporter.
I will say I totally disagree with this comment but am open to others opinions.
The reason I post on this site is that I can voice my opinion and it is open for debate. For the most part the discussion is civilised and interesting. There are numerous posters (Melvey, Synbad, RR, BondiBlue, Molly, Mjonc etc) on this website that I enjoy reading as they put forward an intelligent and well thought out opinion.
Sometimes I agree, sometimes I don't BUT what I believe is important is that I will NEVER berate a person for having another opinion. To me if we do that there is no point in posting.
Their have been numerous times that I have been proven wrong and have been quite happy to admit this.
I am not particularly worried about the opinions of these two as from what I have read they are both rude and are yet to back up their opinions with FACT. I am also strong on the use of abuse on this site as I believe it is the view of a closed mind and totally unneccesary.
What is interesting is that these two have no knowledge of me, have never met me and have no idea what I am like, yet they can form a personal opinion. I have had 18 years as a professional psychologist yet I cannot do that, all I can say is well done!
BUT as I have stated I am open to comment, my over analytical mind will enjoy it.
In regards to the Fevola issue I AM strong on my opinion. WHY? I worked with him at U18 level and have had conversations with him on several occassions. My PROFESSIONAL opinion is that he is a negative on the club and for me the club should ALWAYS come first. This is not an attack on his personality or his ability. This is based on his effect on the CLUB!
The good thing about this is that TIME will be the judge.
I believe Fev will stay but it is important that his bad moments are not tolerated. The damage it does is enormous. No one is happier than I when he is ON. He is a joy to watch.
I have been a member since 1978 and find it incredible that someone can make an assessment on my support for our club.
Any opinions will be appreciated! Please feel free to be candid, I would prefer it.
I notice you didn't include my posts as ones you find interesting and/or intelligent and good reads.
Not surprising, I guess......
