[RussellEbertHandball]

news article I saw said he was replacing Ricciuto, not true?

Dont believe everything you read.

How can you replace someone who doesnt work for your new employer??

who knows maybe he could have been a fireman if he tried really hard

Thanks for not leaving that comment hanging

While I think he's a knob and clearly leveraging his personality in that regard to play the media villain that generates obscene amounts of clickbait, I think he's also actually very astute when it comes to footy. I'd imagine his role at 7 as boundary/special comments will leverage the latter, and (hopefully) means he drops a lot of the media baiting.

All said and done, it's important to have club figures in prominent media positions and we don't have anyone better to fill that spot for us so I'm all for it.

I don’t follow him on X but his Monday morning with Bucks and Friday mornings with Kingy on SEN are great. Tuesday nights with Hoyney and G Healy have been top drawer all year.

I spent 4 years writing a bi-weekly article for a Las Vegas media group about the Raiders. Became the ultimate chore even though I was getting paid for it. My mind would constantly be running over ideas in my head, and if I wasn't doing that I would be on high alert on social media to get the latest news so I had enough material to cover in my op-eds.

Very quickly went from being a fun novel idea to losing enjoyment in the game itself.

Spare a thought for Macca19 and I doing 375 podcasts 3 hours a week, not getting paid, during prime potato Ken period, thank you very much. Not too mention being one of the best downloaded bigfooty podcasts

Used to really look forward to those podcasts, miss them and especially the draft night ones with Portia.

Really miss those podcasts.
Was far more informative and entertaining than mainstream media.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Where is Portia these days?

He did quit on that because his media career made it impossible to meet the time requirements.

Not because it was too hard. He did successfully pass the selection trials.

You blokes were so good, always entertained by a good selection melt on a Thurs night.

Two hours of Kane on the Howie Games podcast. He addresses the fireman stuff and says he regrets walking out on Port mid-year.

Channel 7 is set to unleash a new show built around agenda-setter Kane Cornes as part of a major shake-up of its football programs.
The bombshell move of poaching Cornes from Channel 9 this week has raised the stakes in the TV football wars for 2025.

It’s likely Seven will use their new signing in a head-to-head battle on Monday nights against rival established football programs Footy Classified on Channel 9 (which Cornes was on) and Fox Footy’s On The Couch.

But the future of Seven’s current panel show, Talking Footy on Wednesday nights, is clouded.

The show has failed to grab viewers with the line-up of former champions Trent Cotchin

and Joel Selwood, Tim Watson and James Brayshaw not gelling.

“They want attitude rather than the current banality,” is how one Seven insider described the planned changes.

I love most of kanes oppinions.

Two hours of Kane on the Howie Games podcast. He addresses the fireman stuff and says he regrets walking out on Port mid-year.

Just over halfway through and i think it's worth a listen. Talks about the effect of loosing 07. Talks about the first premiership and being successful leading up to it but not making it. Phil Walsh etc. It does makes his take on Ken interesting. You can see where he might want to draw the Mark Williams bow and feel like this group is like that group was then, but also makes me wonder how he can't see the potential damage that loosing big games can do. Good chat.

My distain for Kane is summed up in 1 metaphor.

Tim Ginever: "We used to see the supporters after the game in the club rooms and if we didn't perform we wore it from them". Said by a 7 time premiership player/captain of the club.

Kane Cornes: "Those fans that booed Ken should be embarrassed about themselves. How can they even cheer games now knowing they booed". Said on the back of Ken's 12th season with no grand finals, a club record for a GF and premiership drought.


He just doesn't get it. He's an idiot of the highest order.



Booing is holding the players, coaches and club to account. Its pretty much the only lever we can pull, and based upon the results that have been triggered by Tredreas comments and our booing, it has become blindingly obvious to all that unfortunately the club desperately needed that feedback to spark a stale group.

I'm incredibly proud of having booed, and would do it again in that moment every single time If I could replay it.

Especially considering that we haven't actually achieved anything yet, and celebrating our current position, like Kane is again shows how much he just isn't Port Adelaide.

 

[GremioPower]

He may have done some special comments work on SEN? Can't really remember.

He won't be calling the action though as a play by play commentator.

In Portuguese, the “commentator” (comentarista) does the analysis. The person doing the play-by-play is the “narrator” (narrador). It is weird both being “commentators” in English.

He does get it. You’re just getting sucked in. The Cornes playbook of backing the coach to the hilt, against all good sense, has been running since Graham’s 5AA days. It’s designed to get you yelling at the radio/computer/void, and then repeatedly check back everyday to see if their opinion has finally changed due to overwhelming evidence. Meantime, they’re laughing all the way to the bank.

If you don’t play their game you don’t lose.

Oh my god lmao. Some channel 7 exec looked at that lineup and went "this is gonna be a hit!"
That's a worse judgement call than pumping up the tyres of war criminals and rapists like they usually do.

I feel like I could provide a better product than channel seven does by broadcasting a Livestream of me taking a poo.

In Portuguese, the “commentator” (comentarista) does the analysis. The person doing the play-by-play is the “narrator” (narrador). It is weird both being “commentators” in English.

I will have a go mate ...

It all comes from the Latin word for comment, "commentare." Your Portuguese word "comentarista" has the standard nominative case "ista" after, so literally seems to refer to someone who "comments," which as you say, could be the specialist commenter.

In English there are two similar words that have slightly different meaning ... 1] A Commenter (your: comentarista) is one who makes isolated remarks or “comments.” In AFL they are all ex-players and are referred to as "Expert comments" or "special comments" experts. Whereas a standard Commentator is someone who provides a constant play-by-play “commentary” throughout the event ... It usually applies to sports broadcasting or television events. Another term used here in Australia is, "Caller." Both might sometimes be referred to as "commentators," but with a caveat, eg: you might hear something like this: "Our commentators tonight are "Brian Taylor, James Brayshaw who will call the game, with Luke Hodge providing expert comments."

A Narrator on the other hand is someone who tells a story, but is not a character in the story, telling it only as a third-person narrative.
