It just a smorgasbord on offer.
I don’t think any comments made so far have been personal attacks or vendetta against Cooks Hill.
Every thread in the local forum has people with opinions around various clubs, I don’t think any comments made after the announcement of Deans as TD even come close to some of the defaming comments elsewhere. Not saying two wrongs make a right, but apart from some comments re: Peppers performance, there’s nothing too sinister is there?

Cooks Hill have showed their intent and signed Deans as a TD. That’s a big announcement and yes, many people applaud and offer kudos for the appointment. Like it’s a good, big name with experience. With that comes the usual comments that they must be paying some money for him. That’s no different to the speculation Charlestown spend money, Adamstown don’t spend money, Jaffas buy the comp etc. There’s comments in the ZPL thread about clubs spending money too. It’s all speculative in nature and if that’s not allowed in here, then that’s fair.

But I don’t think there’s any particular vendetta against Cooks Hill as a club or the people involved. Now they are in the NPL they are also subject to the same scrutiny as other clubs like Magic, Olympic or Lakes. Sometimes unreasonable scrutiny.

Boz is correct, there’s no pleasing some people. There will always be critics to everything.

For the record, having anybody with the experience of Deans involved with your club can’t be seen as a bad signing.
