Media Carlton in the Media (articles, podcasts etc) - Part IV

No one. He wouldn't be replacing any of the incumbents. He'd be spending half a season in the VFL trying to learn how to play CHB.

So become Sam Durdin, backup defender and have one less ruckman on the list.

Still doesn’t add up.

 

[Blue__Balls]

Hahaha does he upset you?

I just laugh at it if i disagree. Also it's fun to read his wacky opinions.

I don't get why people get angry at these guys

As an individual he doesn't upset me in the slightest. I don't engage in most of what he peddles. I get frustrated when I see people biting at the carrots he dangles - and as much as I'd like to comment and tell them their scorn is feeding his social platform, I don't because the ridiculous thing is that me doing so would have the same effect. This is about the only place I'd bother to bring him up, because at least he's not monetising BigFooty - but even then, I won't link his articles or click on links to his articles for the reasons outlined above.

Cornes is, ultimately, endemic of a wider issue in the football media landscape, which is that they're becoming self-fulfilling. They don't even need anything of note to happen, they just roll out some ridiculous and deliberately irrational hot takes over the weekend as the games are completed, see which of them get the most backlash on social media, then spend the rest of the week having back and forth chats about a subject they've made up themselves.

The footy journo's are essentially trying to turn their contributions into as much a form of entertainment as the game itself. For people who enjoy that, good for you I guess. I'd prefer to see insightful commentary.

I just say the disconnect between TDK contract/trade talk compared to output is ridiculous.

What actual really good games has he ever played? I’m sure there are a few, v Freo last year at marvel I remember him being pretty good (that is what sparked the million dollar a year comment from Cornes).

He must have a great manager, 8 year contracts at 800k a year from the swans rumours, surely can’t be true. TDK could end up anything or just what he currently is at this point and have a career like Shaun Hampson

Hence why the footy media are in favour of a mid season trade period, need something to talk about when you are reporting on the game 24/7 and BS trade rumours can help fill that (works in the EPL).

It gives you something to talk about on here.....

What do you class as "insightful commentary"?

I've seen them also say no articles get as many clicks as articles about trade rumours, so they'd love to add to the gravy train by actually having trades happen mid season. They'd never have to stop talking about it.

Seems in all sports fans are obsessed about players moving around, like sone believe winning a trade period or transfer period is more important than actually winning football games.

Judgement days: A vital month awaits for Carlton

Whether they make finals or not, the Blues will likely be looking at how they performed in these coming five games.

I believe they meant if there was a mid season trade period they'd trade their first draft pick in the ND for TDK.

At least I hope that's what was meant....

No, he was talking about main draft

He said mid-season Trade period, and West Coast's 1st National Draft pick.
As if.

That makes the comment even more ridiculous, but at the other end of the spectrum.

As if West Coast would do that.

Anyway, best not to listen to Kane. He's a hypocrite and a wannabe shock jock.

Yes we’d be falling over ourselves to get the deal done. Imagine it this year, giving up say TDK for Harley Reid.

Four Points: The self-destructive Blues; the plan to stop Daicos in his tracks

The theory has been you stop Paddy Cripps and you stop Carlton. And it’s true, to an extent. The other part to the newer theory is that, presently, you can rely on Carlton to do your job for you. Carlton helps stop Carlton.

It's a bit funny that he pontificates about the WEagles being a 'false dawn' team - a team where you'll think you've turned a corner, only to realise the subsequent week they really were that shit - on one hand, then informs us that Geelong comes up against a now in form Richmond.

His section on us is still well worth a read, though.

This is absolutely bang on, now can Voss and co come up with a counter plan - cough, cough, the “better” coaches can

So we gave up 85 points from TOs, how many did Brisbane give up is what I want to know?

Article falls down when it says it is only the last 4 rounds.

We turned the ball over like a hot potato in round 1.

 

[Coops93]

On reading that, it feels like teams and done the homework on Carlton and the blueprint to beat us is fairly obvious now.

So long as you don't get smashed in the clearances you'll be right as we don't have any semblance of skill or run to win any other kind of way.
