News 2024 St.Kilda Media Thread

[austinnn]

Just listened to the AFL Daily they did on the Saints today. Jeez Barrett and Nat Edwards are such a pair of downers. Funniest part was they describe Jack Macrae as a "solid player" at the Bulldogs. The guy is a three time AA ffs.

Honestly Damo is basically unlistenable when it comes to the Saints. Genuinely clueless.

Haven't listened, won't listen.

If we won the premeirship Barrett would find some reason to put an asterisk there. I think the ghost of Spud haunts the campaigner every night. Ill informed with extreme prejudice; that applies to most of the footy media except for the ones that actually know what they are talking about and can be objective, but "Damo" sits atop the smouldering pile of excrement as a bloke who should shut up and listen a lot more.

Happy for him to keep bagging us because his opinion is not respected but I don't understand what value he brings to the AFL media. He is the media version of Alan Richardson and Tony Elshaugh. Thank god we didn't also employ him, although we did employ "Purple Lite" - Tom Morris - for some time.

Damian Barrett should stick gambling ads, it matches his creditability.

Honestly, it is 10 minutes I will never get back. I’ve unsubscribed them.

Gloomy. Negative. Pessimistic. Talking the team down. Barrett facetiously reiterating the unfairness of getting pick 8 for Battle and sarcastically suggesting how Saints fans always jump to the club’s defence.

Barrett, being the oracle of achievement that he is, basically said St Kilda winning 6 of the last 9 games was meaningless. Despite the club defeating Sydney, Geelong and Carlton on the way home.

Barrett even questioned Lyon and Basset’s tenure going forward. Absolute drivel.

It was a rather pathetic effort. If I was describing the attitude they BOTH had towards the club the word I would use is contemptuous.

It's all rather cyclical - we call him out because we know he's a useless sack of excrement. He takes shots at us because we call him out because we know he's a useless sack of excrement. Which gives us further reason to call him out because he takes shots at us because we call him out because we know he's a useless sack of excrement. Then he takes more shots at us which gives us further reason to call him out because he takes shots at us because we call him out because we know he's a useless sack of excrement.

Round and round we go.

He's a bland version of Caroline Wilson. He's a low level downewr vibe who digs in bins and plumbs the depths. Cornes is more a shock jock type of operator and goes overt. Whateley is like the gossipy old tuck shop lady, Robbo the drunk guy at the pub that heard something from a mate of a mate. They all have a role I guess.

My problem is that they all want to hide behind journalistic integrity (or at least the perception of it) while acting as commentators and pundits. All of them seduced with the idea of being celebrities and enjoying the status that it brings them, believing that they are stars of the game, they are all the least important people in the game, way beneath the volunteers at local clubs, running the canteen, or running the boundary or keeping score .

If we know who they support they're useless when critiquing their own club and other clubs too.

I’ll tell you guys something that may shock you about Damo, but he loves the Saints and is close mates with BJ and Ross Lyon.

Yeah right Brian. Damo has mates
Nice one.

Do these people realise almost this same list made finals 12 months ago? It shouldn't be hard imagining a list who has already made finals making it again.

Our list is as good as almost all their 'finals contenders'. Just a lazy media narrative these days that it's not.

It’s not the same list. Missing Battle (who finished top 3 in the B&F) and Membrey (top 3 goalkicker) next year. Mackray will only add a little as it’s his first year in Saints colours. People take a good year before they settle into a game plan. Bottom 4 looks about right to me as much as it hurts.

Also, Damo is an overpaid jerk.

I'm willing to bet we hardly notice Battle missing, and McCreigh will slip in seamlessly

AFL media at least in Victoria comes in 4 Categories, Ex Players who have **** all charisma and just rant or say stupid shit (BT, Darcy, Selwood, ect ect), Private School kids who need to be bashed or at least ****ed off to a warehouse job in seaford while pallet jockey who actually knows his shit is allowed to report on football, Craig Hutchinson and his dickhead employees (see Barrett), and lastly the rare good journo and ex player.

McCreigh

Oh well… the next Eddy
