As I’ve noted before, when’s the last time he said anything that spoke to or revealed a special footy knowledge that we plebs could only dream of comprehending?

He’s barely one level removed from Knuckles’ “hit the bloody contest hard” doctrine.
Work hard and run a lot and success will follow boys. Don't overcomplicate it.
 
Win, lose or draw, I haven't watched an aftermatch presser for at least a year. I just find that he has nothing enlightening or interesting to say these days. Probably not surprising after 11 season's worth of games.

It's not so much that he has nothing to say, its the fact the press conferences are so soft and scripted, where Rucci and co manage to cup his balls AND tickle his chode with a feather all at once. It's incredible.

I was reminded of this prime example by the recent comment alert.

Loses the mother of unloseable, absolutely unloseable games, and leaps at the opportunity to short circuit any tough questions by having a nice old giggle with the dutifully pillow-soft pack.

HE’S STILL HERE!

I was once listening to an interview with Rod Wishardt. He was talking about the time Tommy Raudonikis took over as coach of NSW. A few of the players approached Tommy at training and asked "what sort of defensive strategy are we going to employ? Are we gonna slide, or are we gonna employ an umbrella defence?....."
Tommy replled, "What the f**k are ya talkin' about? It's Origin, ya just run up and ya smash the bastards!"

Difference is, Ken lacks even 1% of the charm and character Tommy had.
 
Post game press conferences are a waste of space forced upon coaches by the afl media gurus. The journos generally ask dumb questions and the coaches trot out the same standardised answers. Its worse with Hinks because he has been there so long and we have heard it all before , ad nauseum.
 
The press conferences would make more sense if you know, all the journos werent just greyhound syndicate members with the coaches chatting about when the next Juddchella is on.

****ing parasites, do your god damn job.

Anyone who asks hard questions doesnt get an invite to the next dinner party. All scared of being frozen out of the club.

Imagine being such a cuck that you chase 'exclusives' literally no one cares about instead of asking questions that are hard to answer because they require a considered response.

Instead they are all queueing up to gargle coach balls for the privilege of an exclusive chat with Dyson Heppell about his haircut.

All the TV execs are balls deep with the clubs too, so if you ruffle feathers it's out you go. Independants are never allowed to ask questions or even be present because guess what - you need to be a "licenced AFL Journo", which also means they can shut you out if you talk about I dunno, a player bringing the game into disrepute that constantly gets put under the carpet.

Now we've got coaches who walk out of press conferences straight away if asked something even remotely probing. That's just learned behaviour. HoW dArE yOu. There goes your invite to Gil's Caligula Orgy.

Remember Ross Lyon tearing strips off junior journo years back for daring to ask a pointed question. It really is wasted space nowdays, designed to fill the airspace with niceties.
 
Tredrea being pretty clear what he thinks on 5AA. Club would be happy to get a Rowie back.
He is so wrong, he just needs to learn about the club. Then he would be more understanding of 71 point losses.

Please elaborate it is soothing


He just agreed with some callers really easily, agrees with comments about the place, Ken etc… even Timmy G adds his two cents in but a little more carfully.

Tredrea said the players are mentally weak - and it’s been like that for a while, it’s why we fold so easily.

Watching the Sunday Footy Show and they were talking about the deliberate at the end of the Freo/North game and the AFL's statement calling it correct.

They play the vision that clearly shows the ball was about 4 metres out and Lloyd, Kane and Damo sit there mumbling barely comprehensible nothing statements because they are employed by the AFL and can't say anything critical whilst Tony Jones is flabbergasted and just straight out calls the AFL liars about 3 times because he's the only non conflicted person in the discussion.

Just lol.
 
I lasted a couple of minutes of Kornes giving the bulldogs coach the bake of the millenium on Footy Classified last night, before getting bored and switching channels to watch the 4 millionth repeat of an episode of Wheeler Dealers.

I have no problem with him calling out Beveridge's perceived deficiencies, but Why The F*** is he so completely incapable of judging kern by those same `lofty' standards?

Re the joke that after match press conferences have become, they are now about as hard hitting as Molly Meldrum fawning over some one hit wonder on Countdown back in the 80's.

Because he knows it triggers port fans and helps with ratings.

Tom Morris asked a couple semi-hard but reasonable questions and Bevo had the sook to end all sooks. And "coincidentally" some significant dirt on Tom Morris was made public about 24 hours later and he lost his job.
