Hi Guys,
Over the last year or so I have become a very angry person and have written many things here which have offended numerous people. I have had a massive wake up call and have decided after a request to retract a few of my forum topics to retract myself and all my posts(approx 790)from this forum as of around midnight Wed 15/1/14. I have made a request to one of the guys who is a admin here to disable my account as of late Wed or early Thurs when he gets time.
I offer my apologies to all people throughout the forum that have been offended and believe removing myself from here and a few other social media sites is the best answer. To the guys that gave me a chance and I let down I apologise and wish you all the best for 2014 and beyond. I have lost the enjoyment and have been negative in recent times and this is not good for anyone here. Really some things and been a rant and yes I am seeking help for my wellbeing.
Sorry to those who are reading this for a second time,however my account was by accident disabled 48 hours to soon. I want to make sure that ALL people who have been offended over the last year or so get a chance to read my heart felt apology.
Will continue to support my team,but also spend more time with a ill parent who suffered a massive stroke back in Nov 2012. Also will be giving my time when allowed to helping out the Stroke Foundation and BeyondBlue,these are causes close to my heart.Out of something negative something positive can be created.
No more bitter bagging anymore,sadly no positive things either as I will have no account here or elsewhere footy related.
Cheers guys, may you all have a great 2014 and may your teams do well in 2014.

Lauchsie...you are entitled to your opinion(s) whether others like it or not...as long as it's not racist etc..that's what forums like these are for..be pretty boring if everyone on here agreed with each other..like if we all supported Port Melbourne for instance!!
If you want to see what another football forum is like where some supporters of the same team have long drawn out arguments...have a look at saintsational...you wouldn't know that some of the people there actually supported the same team...but the site still goes on regardless of the arguments
Have a rethink...if someone doesn't like what you post...tough...that's life...they can get over it

Lauschie,
I'm sorry to hear that news. I for one have always found your comments to be fair & reasonable & have never been concerned or interested about your previous involvement. Sorry I did not get the opportunity to met you as I have most of the Port faithful, maybe later this year. All the best & hope to catch up with you at Port this year.
Thanks digs,hope to catch up with you sometime in 2014 too. I might surprise you with a trip up the Western Hwy when Port isnt playing on the same day or when returning from a SA holiday. Looking forward to the time away from here and rebuilding my health. Hopefully mend a few forum relationship away from here too.
I have never posted on here but read for a few years. All the best in getting yourself right
Thanks Waverley Panthers. Hopefully this forum will become even better over the years with positive posts and banter. At the present I am stepping aside for a indefinite time and reassessing my future contributions to any forums. Once in a positive frame of mind(and only when that happens)will I only consider rejoining the fray here.
Great to see an old Waverley Panthers supporter on this site.
What years did you follow the panthers ?
Hi VFA, mainly during the 80's till the end in 87.
Follow Frankston these days as its the closet to me that is a non aligned team, only attend 2 - 3 games a year. We live near Sandy so I take the kids for a look on the weekend up there a bit depending on weather & who there playing

Welcome Panther. Good to see an new non-Port contributor.
Yes great to have anyone from the old Waverley Panthers who were once a very hard team to beat at home and had many good former players. Great jumper too.
I remember when Kevin Morris was playing for Waverley prior to joining Richmond. Stephen 'Bomber' James also went from Waverley to Richmond. In Wavelrey's last year in the VFA they were runners up and had the services of Ray Shaw and Ross Brewer.
