It's probably a genuine request that we just use the relevant threads...as long as everyone abides by that. 
Over the years we've had some subjects 'infiltrating' different threads and derailing the main topic.
When that happens it makes it really difficult to follow the arguments...especially when we have multiple threads making the same arguments.
Folks can get a little upset when they make an 'on-topic' post and look for a response, only to see it overwhelmed by an 'off-topic' subject.
A couple of posts isn't too much of an issue but when it becomes the main topic of an unrelated thread it can cause a problem.
It's often happened with discussion about coaches, Pagan and Malthouse in particular.
It's cost us posters, both through leaving in frustration and banning.
The ruck argument is being hotly debated.
It's probably timely to just step back and have a think before posting in the relevant thread.
