"Media beat-up by a flog journo re: AFC" about to break

[LC40]

They run agenda's.
Alex Forrest Rucci is a paranoid Port Adelaide sycophant. He grew up worshipping the club and has never been able to sever the umbilical cord. He's still a fan boi at heart. His series of articles during the AFL second license bid was the most biased demonstration of promotion and endorsement towards one club to the detriment of the other bidders you could find. A university could run a complete media course on it's subjectivity and prejudice.

In all honesty his 'deity' were the front runners having been the duped tool in the initial bid but his campaign was a continuous press release for his 'security blanket.'
From then on it's been a continual underhanded attack on the team he blames for fortuitously replacing his 'devotion' to the minor player in this state. This is hard to deny, the evidence is on the page and posters here can list a plethora of examples.
It hurts to play second fiddle when your SANFL upbringing was full of entitlement and arrogance. It's a shared psyche within their community.

The other journalist's work is littered with 'sources' and 'I'm told' and has been the primary connection to the AFL when a leak is desired to run their agendas.

Who the f*** is Alex Forrest?

Exactly. Rucci-esque trouble-making.

The only ones bringing the players wives into it are the media

 

[Wood_Duck]

You can't blame journalists for doing their job. If it happened they have every right to report it.

It's the way they report it that I have trouble with. Innuendo and sensationalism. Conjecture. Sometimes it's more an opinion piece than a true reporting of facts.

Sometimes? More often than not, I think you mean.

 

[brucetiki]

It is disappointing — but not unusual in football - that much of the blame for the public airing of grievances has been placed upon certain wives and partners within the club.

...

But some wives remain disenchanted with the Crows, who in turn are blaming them and players' managers for exposing potentially inflammatory details of the camp that were supposed to remain confidential.

Ummm ....

Frankly, what the WAG’s think is irrelevant. It’s the players that go through the training, many WAG’s just live off their husband’s/boyfriend’s salary.

 

[mattymac]

That Caro article was basically a Rucci piece with a bonus gender card thrown in.

Really?

 

[brucetiki]

Really?

As I said, many, not all.

 

[jenny61_99]

And you have the figures for this?

 

[Sucka4Love]

What is Caro beef with us? Our peahearted effort in the GF gifted her Tigers a flag so take a walk troll

 

[King Elvis]

It does sound pretty weird; a pyschological workshop without any medical oversight?

The fact that it was Burton driven just adds further to my skepticism about his role.

I still struggle to see how this story is a big deal in any way.

Most sports 'dramas' are basically bullshit

We’ve made it a story, because of our substance less response to it.

We tend to kiss Fages arse for his responses to issues, but the way we’ve handled this in the media is an absolute disaster.

We’ve made it a lot worse than it was by being evasive and defensive about it.

Agree....However they need to check sources and double check before stating as fact. Something which unfortunately does not occur too frequently in local media

No phycologists working for Leading Teams. In fact many are PE teachers. Yet they are well and truly in the field of sports and corporate phycology.

Is that a deliberate spelling error? (Phycology is the scientific study of algae). Did you mean Psychology.

lol .. no. Predictive text claims another victim. Yes to the second question.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

It’s amazing how a couple of weeks can shut down the media trolls

Do phycologists have a scientific term for when a piece of seaweed brushes against your leg and you shit yourself?

Is that Hampton sitting behind Gibbs?! So he travelled with the team to Melbourne!

I think the line "I'M NOT GOING TO BE IGNORED, DAN" said by Glenn Close is deemed Rooch-esque.

How do we read Sloane's out-of-his-seat-high-five? A sign that he's going or staying?

Staying (his apparent soon to be child - according to someone in here - will have someone to play with)!
