I am jealous of your spelling. It is not only 36ers fans who hate Perth btw.

And there you have it.

Yes, most posters on this forum (by volume) exists only to take cheap pointless shots at Perth.

If you went through those Perth threads, and filtered out all the posts that basically say "I hate Perf cos thay sukk" or needlessly attack Perth fans (and filtered out the replies) you'd find the'd be about average size.

Its particularly sad that in a season where they have dominated and are favourites for the ring, 6's "fans" are still more interested in attacking Perth and our fans, than in supporting their own team.

Dazz strikes again. Your life must be flat out.

Maybe they're the most interesting and controversial team to talk about? Certainly the biggest club in the league would have the most amount of people wanting to see them brought down.

Haz, the more polite and diplomatic version of Dazz

because it's sooooo easy to stir you wildcats fans up.

and look, it's a hell of alot of fun as well.

Because most people love giving it to Perth fans and Perth fans love giving it back :P

Yeah, there are multiple reasons behind it. For one thing, Cats fans have a long history of being active on message boards & social media.
But these days, here, it boils down to a very small number of people who will take the bait every friggin time.

This one again? Depending on your perspective, everyone likes seeing a tall poppy being taken down, especially a rich marketing juggernaut of a tall poppy that will do everything it can to win. Or they play nasty, dull, grubby basketball, have a team full of dirty flogs and have a higher than average percentage of hyper-sensitive fans who revel so much in the reflected glory of their team that it makes them incredibly easy to ridicule. Or a combination of the two.

Perth are flogs!!

Taipans strikin' from the Tropical North nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah no. In your heart makin' no mistake, you're gonna get bitten by *inaudibleeeeeee*. Feel the bite *clap clap* Snake bite dah dah dah. Taipans comin' from the left and the right

I'll call it the "Kanye Principle"

- They have wealth and influence;
- They have a passionate fan base who generally defend them to the death irrespective of their deeds;
- They are polarizing but have been continuously successful among their peers;
- They are comfortable being perceived as bullies;
- Continuously fill out large arenas to the envy of everyone else;
- Scream foul if they feel hard done;
- They have made dubious music videos/youtube clips;
- Just when you think they are done they make a comeback; and
- They have Dazz who shares every single thought on the Wildcats like Kim Kardashian sharing her images and thoughts on social media*

There you have it, the Kanye Principle

*(Don't stop the threads Dazz, whether is attracts friends or foes, it generates something on this site, perhaps just don't feed the nasty anons so much with your responses).

Manu - How much have you had to drink today ;)

Lots of iced tea, Train. Lots of iced tea

Long Island Ice Tea :P

Anon (2 above) did you read Dazz's post? Or just the first line and think 'I hate Perth so have to write something negative'?
Reread it...he was saying those things about the 6ers...you halfwit.

Bug ads, the Kanye principle. Well played!

Big not bug.. haha autocorrect

"When Dazz gets called a retard, a stalker, a thug, and told he has no idea about the game all in the one post, then Dazz isn't the one with the problem."

Agree, there's no need for this kind of crap. There's still a person writing all this, no matter how much I usually disagree with what they have to say. At least they've got the balls to login and post under the same name everyday.

There's no doubt that Taipans-Wildcats is the ugliest combination in the league this season.
Silver lining - at least that can't be the GF matchup ;)

We haven't had many Wildcats games with Cotton + healthy Prather. That de-uglifies the Wildcats to a degree.

Wildcats are only ugly when the offense stagnates...so about 90% of the season,

ROFLcopter you're the biggest Flog of all.
31yrs straight finals & 7 Championships... nuff said.

Brilliant!
A thread about "why the Cats get talked about the most"

is now the most talked about thread!

Love it.

A great quote from 'White man can't jump' ...rather look bad and win than look good and lose.

1 Perth is successful.
2 Not one of the traditional powerhouse cities i.e. Melbourne Sydney Adelaide.
3 Arrogant culture.
4 Physical defence is their trademark.This is always borderline.
5 Resentment of home town support.
A team everyone loves to hate, beat and criticise. Both sides are entrenched.

If you were getting 10k+ crowds every game, why would you change the style? It works for the fans and it works on the court.

Quite frankly I don't think any of the front office (nor the Perth fans) care about the style if it results in success on court.

I'm a cats fan.

I hate our style of play. I'm envious of adelaide.

I would have been happy for the streak to end, so they'd reshuffle the team and get a team in that has offensive threats.

Curious to know if the people who hate the style still think it is equally terrible after the addition of Cotton?

It's better with Cotton, but that's because Cotton has a green light.

Cats run an offence to suit their core.

It works. But it's not glorious.

Prather and Cotton would be so much more fun to watch under a sixers regime.

Maybe it's not so much our offence but more our clientle.

Teams have scouted us well enough to know where our weaknesses are, so they can focus more on shutting our stars down.

Pretty sure when ennis was at the cats we were pretty exciting.
