We should seriously think about giving McCormack a break for the trial against Sturt we are unlikely to beat them so give him a break to be ready for Round 1 against South .

We should seriously think about giving Centrals their own preseason/trial match thread.

He will play..
He needs the game time so the players can gel

The early trial form shows Glenelg and Eagles are streets ahead of the rest of us.

The guy that ran it dropped off the face of the earth by all accounts and I got the impression in this day and age of political correctness etc they the club viewed it as one less headache to worry about. Could be wrong- just my take.

Yeah tend to agree

It dropped off around the time our performances did so the critism on there was at a high point.

Once gone I think the club felt it was causing more a hassle and putting them, coaches, players under more pressure.

The "guy that ran it" started the 'cdfc.info' forum privately in the early 2000s and the CDFC soon tied it to the main official Club website, superceding the old official 'Dreambook' format forum. The founder continued on as forum co-admin, and handed the reins fully to the administrator of the main CDFC webite in 2013.

The moderation team, myself included, continued on until its eventual close years later. I remember the page appearing to develop some sort of fault circa 2018 that never got resolved, but you're not alone in thinking the incentive to keep it up and running had faded by this stage. I suspect that the writing was on the wall with the pending flavourless homogeny of SANFL Club websites, as opposed to its close being due to a "high point" of public criticism of fading unfield performance on its official site. Criticism on there was plentiful even in its early years.

Whatever the reason, it is a shame, particularly in light of some largely unchallenged negative or uninformed 'opinions' elsewhere since. That and the relative SANFL disinterest found elsewhere, by no means just CDFC related. Can't put my finger on the cause of that though, I'm sure it will come to me from deep in my mind's 'reserves'.

Here's the last archived page I could find in The Wayback Machine:- https://web.archive.org/web/20180514194 ... um.php?f=4

FWIW, from the CDFC's old 'Dreambook' format was up and running before 2000, to 'cdfc.info', the CDFC had the cojones to put its name against, and trust in without censure or interference in the outright main, a forum that loudly spoke its mind at times in a more passionate period of SANFL. Including criticism of the team and Club itself on plenty of occasions when other clubs' fora were (still are??) essentially supporter (or SAFooty) driven and at arms length from the clubs.

I'm pretty sure there's nothing to stop a supporter that is savvy, motivated and time rich enough starting an unofficial forum of their own. I've thought about it over the years, but I'd be there with bells on if another supporter did.
