Opinion Commentary & Media VIII

This is such a non story. Puff piece announcing jumpers. Move on with life.

I do feel for the club here, pretty much 'damned if you do damned if you don't'. Media always trying to whip up outrage, clicks, engagement and they've got it here. Could only imagine the articles if Carey had been prominently featured given all the Tarryn Thomas coverage over the last few years.

There has to be a balance though which I thought the club handled without any issue in this case. You can accept Carey (and others) are a part of our history and success without actively using them in your marketing going forward. If we had a 'Wayne Carey' award for leading club goalkicker each year that might be another story!

But they didn't need to feature him prominently. I think it's a mistake that the club has chosen this route. Brings more attention to it.

So Jay Clark in today's Advertiser has as one of the headings "Langford in Crows sights", and the only reason they might do that is because of Langford's size and strength, no insider knowledge, no draft strategy and no other reasons other than his own thoughts. The other day it was suppose to be Jagga Smith, since Sam is supposed to go at pick #1 {nobody really knows} maybe Tuesday or Wednesday he'll find that Finn O'Sullivan has their interest as well, I mean he's only got Josh Smillie and Finn left now of the top midfielders so he's still got some work to do!

Wrong thread TTS, can you please stick to the subject of why our greatest ever player wasn't included in the centenary jumper release, we're outraged / don't care etc.

Crows can stick him on their centenary promotional material in 80 years. :stern look
