Magpies war of words

If these are the types of articles we can expect over the summer to make the headlines, god help us.

Was a good laugh though.

Some great banter between the boys.

Welcome to the world of Twitter sensation I guess.

I was reading that on the Pies website as it happened. I was laughing my head off.

It's great to see such comraderie in our ranks and shows that similar vales and sense of humours are maintained at the highest level as it is we you knocked aboput in country/pub/amateur footy.

 

[Coin_Toss]

I can't believe none of them brought up Maxwell's gripe about playing another game. We probably wouldn't have won the flag hadn't the replay went ahead.

What did he call it again... "An absolute joke"?

 

[DThomas]

Jesus Christ, Herald Sun it was obviously just them mucking around. I was laughing my head off while I was reading that.

What's even funnier is that they actually reported it!

[handy point]

What a shame the Walkleys were on last week.

Could have had a contender for investigative journalism right here. I'm on the phone to the Pulitzer peeps to see if they accept overseas entries.

Maxy, Scotty and Harry harmony chalice anyone?

 

[The Dawes]

I just can't believe it took two fully grown journalists to come up with that 'article'.

 

[daics_35]

The funniest bit of all is that it actually got published by the Herald Sun, how laime. LOL

Good one captain instead of smoothing it over & showing your so called leadership qualities that got you the captaincy you need to add fuel to the fire, Maxwell just shut up whats point doing all this bloody training if you guys go sniping at each other publicly hell if I was playing against you I know exactly how to get under your skin & that of Scott Pendlebury well done lads using tweeter to have your so called friendly banter it seems more nasty & adds to the book you wrote talk about eating each other alive.

Before people start having a go at the Sun, it was reported in the 'Sports Confidential' part of the paper, known for its humour and light-hearted take on daily sport...

And the front section of their website which is where most people read their crap because no one is willing to buy it anymore.

Bam!

clinic for the westpac cup. Sitting next to @sp_10 on the Bus. I think the herald sun needs to improve. Give Melbourne some real news.

 

[jonbe54]

Some of you young uns need to get ur act together, I haven't bought a newspaper in about 3 years and won't be every again. The net provides a diversity of viewpoint instead of the corporate establishment crap Murdock and Packer peddle.

 

[Soul_Pie]

Personally I am shocked and appalled, and I strongly believe the players in question deserve to hung, drawn and quartered for their behaviour.

 

[TotalPackage]

I can see the funny side to it but I'm not a fan of this banter in a public forum....do it at training boys or in private but leave this sort of banter out of the public.

 

[IanfromSA]

Another slow news day........

 

[Quicky]

Indeed it is the only logical reaction. How our team can be so unprofessional. Buckley and MM at each others necks, Beams and Barham and now its a Muds vs Defenders battle royale. Enough is enough. It's time to go medievil on their arses.

Haha.

Have to laugh at anyone who has actually taken any of this seriously, it was a group of mates having fun with each other.

I can almost guarantee that at least 2 of the players involved were actually sitting next to each other (either at Westpac Centre or on Mobiles), because it had that "we're bored" kind of feeling about it.

Was hilarious stuff, hope to see more of it, even during the season, and it's absolutely awesome that all 3 of the GWS's main targets were involved, showing that they are "mates", and not just team mates.

Focused on being boring and no fun with @SP_10 on twitter from now on in case certain media outlets try & turn what we say into stories!

Agree and It was also a bit of "Takling the Piss out of Each Other"

Just shows how Pathetic the Media Is and I am just Waiting for Caroline Wilson to come up with some Fake story about this

 

[millsie]

Imagine when Murdoch finally puts the paywall up and you have to pay to read quality journalism like this.

 

[you idiot sheehan]

Utterly pathetic article. In the all fairness the article was meant to be humourous, but it just smacks of inch filling and lazy journalism. Go and get a real story.

People not on twitter would have taken this story the wrong way, people who already are had seen it and had a laugh already.

 

[Swooop]

The banter was funny...great to hear them sound just like boys having fun.

The thing that made me laugh even more then the banter, were the reactions of the w***ers who took it seriously and slammed Maxy for not being supportive and not being a good captain etc!!

Priceless
