Opinion Commentary & Media VI

[Gasometer]

Never fully understood the special hate boner some of the media have for Phillips and this faux Phillips v McDonald debate. Just seems so very fake and designed to generate outrage/attention, rather than allowing the average fan to enjoy watching two very young talented players.

An utter professional nevertheless to sit through the dross that was the Practice Games featured in that clip

To dedicate his time to locating that WP burn off in the 4th quarter with us 10 goals down when most of us were flicking through TikToks or mowing lawns and the like is attention to detail that puts him on a pedestal above his peers

I didn’t watch this live the other night but from now on I will. Extraordinary worker is the KC

 

[Gasometer]

What a croc of s**t. He was first set up with CCJ cause they are both from Adelaide but CCJ couldn't live with him. It was then Ben Williams' suggestion of TT as he looks after both of them.

Regardless, had CCJ or TT taught him how to use a microwave and boil water he would have stayed

Dead to me.

It was on TV at the pub after the game while I enjoyed a few victory schooners.

How is 10 disposals in a quarter possibly not impressive? From anyone? And Sheez is getting plenty of media love.

They were pretty decent touches as well. Hit up about 4 forwards resulting in a few goals.

Players asking for trades cos they get dropped?

Farcical.

Would be the worst thing to happen to equalisation in decades.

It would be a disaster.

Also contracts last till the end of the season...

Imagine some campaigner laying for two sides during a season. that happened in a bush league I played in once and we hammered the guy when we met late in the year. He never played again.

Sunday Footy Show back…

No surprises

Cornes-Francis pumping up JHF

Chompers bemoaning 20k crowd

But positively Lordo pumping right up Sheeze

Sunday footy show off to a flyer once again. They can’t help themselves. It’s an indictment that Lloyd was the one to push the positive vibes. Also note the sly chuckle when jones asked corn about individuals. They’re working in unison to pot us. Btw though 20k plus was excellent for a game against the weagles. These blokes are afl sanctioned…..

 

[Samsquanch]

Apparently this bloke played well and the media are hyping him up a bit...

He has a somewhat familiar face I reckon...

It might be easier for the Adelaide Sunday Mail reporter to recognise Horne from behind...

Can we pinpoint the exact moment when attendance sizes became such an obsession? It was never mentioned when I started following the game.

How many people would Jones say was acceptable? How many was the dickhead expecting to watch the 2 bottom teams?

Anything. ANYTHING to spin a negative association with our club. That’s why. The bias is not even concealed anymore, it’s just open and blatant. This needs to be called out at every level.
