Roast Media Shakes Head, Part 8

[raptalia]

TBH I wondered what had happened to Pup Clarke as he disappeared off the media radar pretty quickly. I wonder if this is a stunt to reignite his media career. Maybe that is a tad too cynical?

 

[Steve Dore]

Following yesterday's headlines the Murdoch Press devotes two full pages of glorious colour to the spat between Pup Clarke and Pup's girlfriend as well as some altercation between Clarke and Karl Stepanovich. This has all the hallmarks of a classic beat up. Girl slaps boy is not news but boy slaps girl, now that is news.

I can't believe it has replaced the multi-page spreads on that ginger Pommie bloke.

Michael Clarke now looks like a House DJ whose seen too many Ibiza sunrises.

Clarke looks like said ginger Pommie they/them.

Not sure about that:

Could scandal claim Clarke’s latest cricket commentary gig?

Michael Clarke’s latest lucrative career move is now hanging by a thread in the wake of the cricket legend’s wild public spat with his girlfriend and television heavyweight Karl Stefanovic.

Yes, I read that but it comes from the same media source that is beating up the story and helps embellish their beat up I will believe it when they report that Pup's contract has been cancelled.

Reminds me of Simon Cowell.

Can’t handle ageing so they jab themselves full of fillers and what not and sycophants tell ‘em they look amazing.

Shit bloke

Hold my beer while I get the patent to say F*** O** Brandname to close a commercial.
Would be much more popular.

Gudinski would be proud of who has ever taken over from him at Frontier Touring and pulled this off.

This is straight out of his play book to give his mates and those who sees as heavyweights, the prime tickets/seats/positions at a show.

The Libs revealed Armstrong was paid $1.5m.
Tommy Kout defended the amount by saying it had a $30m benefit for the state

I made the mistake of reading one of the pieces on this non-story, to see what the hell is the fuss about and the most egregious part of it was calling him a star and one of the best to ever play for Australia.

WTF? Some reflected glory, getting games at the tail end of the super era of McGrath, Warne, Waugh, Ponting, Gilchrist (with solid support). That combination of top level fast and spin bowlers, batsmen and a wicket keeper also so damaging with the bat, haven't been seen before or since and probably never will again. The Clarke era not long after that is the clear drop back to no longer being a side daylight above everyone else. It's not quite Jimmy Rowe is a star SA media reporting, Clarke wasn't awful, but as far as Australian cricketers go, average player and even more average bogan off the field.

He's a colossal douchebag, was a shit captain and is a disgracefully ageing man child with a face everyone would like to punch. But carn, he averaged 49.

So 12th on the Australian batting averages. Amongst the best ever for Australia, IMO, would need to be in the top half a dozen for either batting, bowling or wicketkeeping. Also being a shit Captain does drag down his rating. As I said not a bad player, but certainly not deserving of discussion when you're talking about the top players to play for Australia.

9, 10 and 11 are Steve Waugh, Matt Hayden and Allan Border. Carn.

 

[JimmyBC]

That's nonsense Andre he's easily in the discussion for Australian greats.

I said Clarke's captaincy drags his rating down. These two their Captaincies push them up into genuine greats of Australian cricket.

Can't be serious. Conveniently overlooking Hayden. Neil Harvey and Doug Walters right after him. Ponsford. These guys literally have statues and stands built in their honour. He's an asshat, but that doesn't make him less than a great with that bat.

Clarkey is a living legend.

They should move Australia Day to his birthday.

 

[dirty2]

What about clarkey's captaincy was bad...?

 

[PrisonBars4life]

Ask Simon Katich what he thinks of Michael Clarke.

Would rather the Govt give 7 figures to Lance Armstrong or Sam Smith than to Rupert Murdoch via the Advertiser like they have been the last 3 years.

”Commercial in Confidence“ has a lot to answer for.

Agreed, plus what is the half tea pot stance supposed to portray?
Each to their own as the old saying goes but I can't see anything particularly special about her either, and in my humble opinion that is definitely not a face that would launch a 1,000 ships.
