Some on here have now turned to communism. We can’t say anything about the hierarchy or BA or his son. Otherwise we are not real fans. Or we want the team to lose 🤣

How about when we win a regular season match where we were outsiders, or go on a winning streak and some random troll bumps the ‘do you want Ba as coach’ thread. Do you find that childish and tedious?
Yeah it is .... i assume you think it is too

TBH I haven't noticed mate, I don't bother reading that thread, there's enough of that discussion throughout the forum without having to subject my senses to any more.

Edit/ What I mean to say is if you don't like the smell of garbage, why visit the dump?

Well f**k me, criticising tedious agenda driven waffle is now a communism.

( totalitarians and / or authoritarians, depending upon degree, is the term/s you want to use there )

Ok that’s fine. But that’s what happens each time the eels win or go on a run. Then it gets the others going

Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads within our Eels Family.
Im sure we all have wonderful Eels memories with our Dad. Mine is running around the Cumberland Oval outer ground, blankets under arms, racing to secure a spot for the family in the Grandstand.
Lets win the whole damn thing this year for all those Dads no longer with us who encouraged our Eels passion.
Do it for The Dads!

Again mate, I don't have a problem with merkins criticising or boosting BA, there's plenty of room for both I reckon, the tedious bit is when it's being done just for the sake of it and or it's exaggerated to the point of being agenda driven rubbish.

Ok fair enough. So if we bundle out in straight sets, you’d still call it an agenda or exaggerated?

Yes I am sick of the JA bashing. But to be fair it's kind of warranted. He just shouldn't be there at all.

Depends on the approach really doesn't it. And or the reasons. Like I said, there's room for criticism, that's self evident as we are far from perfect.

I'd call it that if nothing but the actual result was considered, and any success thus far was ignored. Like something along the lines of setting making the GF or winning the Premiership as the only benchmark to performance and or success, regardless of any other factor.

I reckon right now given our circumstances, which are pretty positive, if nothing changes, then not making the prelim would be underperforming, and the club as a whole would need to be questioned about our direction moving forward, and that includes all our coaching staff, and particularly BA, but not only our coaching staff, and most certainly not specifically BA.

My annoyany is there have been players in the squad that have been playing worse than JA they get a few posts maybe but the JA bashing is ridiculous.
He was getting bashed after the first game of the season for being on the bench just because he put in a better offseason than the rest of the team.

Ele, I recall you last year or year before vowing to never watch the eels again. That doesn’t make you a lesser fan than anyone else. It means your passionate!!!

To be perfectly honest, I have lost a lot of passion for them in the last few years. I'm not sure why - maybe it's having a toddler that keeps me busy, maybe it's that I feel we can't be trusted to play big games, maybe it's the state of my mental health... I don't know.

I had forgotten we were playing Melbourne on Thursday; at 10pm, I remembered, and checked the score, and was happy. I was out of Sydney on Thursday, but in years gone by, I would have Kayo'd the game at any cost; this time, I forgot we were even playing.

I'm not sure why my passion for the Eels has waned :(

Physically NAS and Kaufusi are grubs, no doubt about it, but McGuire is just a f**king awful niggling, tough guy wanna be who has that stupid chewing gum grin on his face when he gets called out for his shit. Renowned for the ear twisting, hand stomping shit that goes on. Perpetrates more cheap shots than anyone in the comp

I reckon NAS is pretty close - the look of sheer incredulity on his face when he gets penalised is ridiculous....
