I could lie and say that I don't enjoy seeing the wet toast weagles suffer but,
I am not a liar.

Can I request one thing though, I have seen a few posters on here refer to the team I support as "wet toast" or "weagles" or even better as in this case "wet toast weagles" ... gets old very quickly.

I don't refer to any other teams that members on this site support in derogatory terms, just think it is very unnecessary/almost childlike.

Am I being overly sensitive? Possibly, but in my club's most challenging period (some self inflicted granted with our trading decisions) I don't think ridiculing is required/ essentially I feel you are kicking the club whist they are down which is poor etiquette in my book.

If the leadership/ moderator group on here feel my post isn't required then feel free to remove it/ your prerogative.

But I couldn't let another post like this slide by without comment, thanks (y)

Feel free to call ''my club'' whatever you like.
FWIW I think you're a great poster! I just don't take sport all that seriously.

Fair call mate.. never been a fan of kicking anyone while they're down, players and/or clubs included.

That said.. as a bombers supporter I can assure you pretty much everyone relishes seeing a club struggle (self inflicted or not) and there will be plenty that either comment unnecessarily or look for a reaction.

Hope things turn around quickly for you and your mob - reckon I'd love an Eagles win more than a bombers one this week!

I like these tables, thanks for doing them.
2 questions.
What do the red dots mean?
What do the numbers in the "1st" column indicate?
Ladhams 4, S Hayes 5 etc.
The red dots were just flags (assigned by me) against players who had been SC favourites - (I missed Touk)
the 1st column indicates the 1st round that the player appeared this season
The next column is the number of games played this season.

Lighten up Bunger, bit of good natured ribbing is what supporting teams is about. Poor bloody West Coast Eagles Football Club fans going to water after 7 weeks of misery, lucky you’re not a Roos fan ;)

Thanks for the kind words, I will pass on calling your club anything though, way too much respect for a team that is always a contender & is very well run thanks to much of the work of your ex CEO Brian Cook who was previously my team's CEO for about 10 years throughout the 1990s - very smart operator.
