Ladies Lounge / Re: AFLW Round 3: Carlton vs Brisbane at Ikon
The season isn't that long, and with our injuries, even a 1 match ban is significant

Yeah there is that option too which would make it more user friendly and if other users didn't want to use the mobile site I think it would be easy enough to switch betweennthe two.
I was on this site a long time ago probably about 8 - 10 years ago and I may even have been banned for those playing at home I can't remember but back then apps weren't a thing nor was accessing forums on your phone so when I signed back up to CSC which I did because I liked that there wasn't as much traffic as other forums (although it defiantly has died down since then which is disappointing) I didn't think it would be a desktop only site.
I dont think the site is not usable because it is it is more that it's just a hindrance and not very user friendly and i know personally I will probably lose interest after a while.
I’m not familiar with the app that has been suggested, however it’s not an either/or situation.
For the people who don’t understand what is being suggested it’s like using your banks full www site to do your internet banking as opposed to using their app. The app is much simpler, bigger buttons, simpler layout and no need to keep expanding the screen, that’s if of course, you do internet banking...
It shouldnt be the case of one or the other as far as i know the browser site should stay the same and the app would be an additional optional thing.
Banning is an extreme.
It usually takes place after a number of indiscretions
I do understand folks won't always agree with a ban or suspension but it's also important to understand that unless you're watching here 24/7 you wont always get the full picture of why a ban has been imposed.
We've lost some really good contributors and some of them have been quite sad.... but often it's because they've got a "bee in their bonnet" about a coach or player and just refused to let it go infiltrating threads across the forums despite constant warnings. There comes a point where a line must be drawn and the consequences applied.
You wont normally be banned for a critical opinion...it's how you express it that will get you in strife.
Calling a Carlton player a dog is unacceptable.
Going into a voting thread and making a silly response is disruptive and unhelpful.
Derogatory comments about a player after he suffers a season ending injury, like we're lucky it happened...wont earn you points.
Posts like that will always draw an understandable negative personal response and disrupt the forum. Those type of posts will earn you a holiday.
Be critical by all means, but if you are... keep it on topic and attack the players skills, attitude etc... but don't disparage them on a personal level.
You need to get back in the gutter with the rest of us Paul...we need more AFLX sucks posts and less of
the Ernest Hemingway wartime romantic offerings..... ..this a fair dinkum football site, cant have posters trying to be
philosophical smartar$es...
Pheeling philosophical Phaul?
Unbelievable. This is exactly what I am talking about. There is nothing wrong with posting an opinion which does not paint a positive picture of something that is going on at the club if it needs to be said. Plus, the point of a forum is to give your 'opinion' on matters relating to football and the CFC. This does not mean my opinion will be right or wrong... it is an opinion. But it would be a boring world if everyone saw things the same way, and through rose colored glasses. My comment on the women's footy a few weeks ago I absolutely stand by. I think it is atrocious. Yes I've been banned a number of times, but I am a passionate supporter and maybe in the past I've overstepped the mark, but not recently. I do not personally attack other posters for example... like you have here PaulP. So we were asked to comment on how the site is progressing and I did so, pointing out that banning/ridiculing posters for not being positive or agreeing with the party-line all the time will lead to them not posting/leaving the forum. I think this is a fair comment. Did I need the abuse that you have just put on me for mentioning this? Maybe sometimes it is better to look within, before criticizing others PaulP.
I think banning people for putting across a different opinion to those in power is one thing. As long as posts are not 'personal' in nature, a poster should be able to voice his/her opinion, even if it is not the more preferred or supported one. This leads to people not bothering to join/post on the site.
Is there an app I can use to access this site?
Don't think this is true about the men's team.
Plenty of pace there - Garlett, Pickett, Byrne, Fisher, Charlie, Dow, O'Brien, Lang - all quick or very quick....
ASOS too has toe, ditto Jones and Macreadie for a big guy....
There are about 10 'elite athletes' in the whole competition (most successful in other sports). The others are nothing more than weekend warriors. The AFL have a lot to answer for in a couple of areas. Their hype over Mo Hope because she had a 'story' but failed to fire a shot was over the top, totally! Making Sarah Perkins a pinup girl (again nice story, but no athlete) was just unfair. The high percentage of the girls have been promoted and pumped up way, way beyond their ability. The exposure (print, electronic media) is WAY out of proportion to the standard of the game and ability of most of the players......but it suits the AFL perfectly!
I actually feel sorry for the girls, they should be able to develop in the 'burbs, like the next generation of players are doing now.
Outcoached.
