Roast Media Shakes Head, Part 8

[Festerz]

Let the lad who wrote the Port Adelaide part of the article know that Russell Ebert is Ports goat.
Michael Whiting's twitter account.

That reminds me.

What game was it a few weeks back when a long handpass went from one Port player to another player on running forward and Brereton and his co-commentator both said it was Bernie Quinlan like.

I remember yelling out No you insular fecks - it was 'Russell Ebert like'. FFS learn some history of the game outside your own borders you dumbtards.

I fired an email off to Richardson, The AFLPA and the leagues media team.

Weren't there footy cards in a bubble gum pack back in the early 70's or is that a memory glitch? May have been VFL.

I used to get SANFL player cards from Mobil service stations. And they were in player photos bottle tops in coke etc

Of ALL TIME...or at least since 1997

Best of the best: Your club's greatest player of all time

For some clubs, it's clear-cut. For others, the debate still rages. AFL.com.au's reporters make the call on the greatest player at every club

Glad we are here to prop up the VFL

Meanwhile, I hear there is to be a new medal presented at the Grand Final to the winning captain - the Barassi Medal. Could be an expensive exercise for those teams that have multiple captains...

Mike Rucci sounds like the PG version of Mike Hunt.

Do you think they just couldn't fit his real name or was it more that it was the 80's and everyone would have assumed he got lost from his job reporting on Adelaide City?

Richardson: Who is this Mathew he's talking to? Couldn't be me.

Apologies if anyone has posted this already, but look at this horseshit. Cal Twomey continues to try and trade Port players out.

Looks shit. Looks better in a port Guernsey.

My email got traction people. Believe in people power. Never give up the fight for what is right and just.

 

[Portmagpies36]

So why not for the purpose of this exercise only consider other clubs players from the AFL era?

Agree but some recognition is better than the none they originally gave. You now have the email addresses to raise your valid point.

You could also tweet Michael Whiting.

Who is Mr Ichardson from the PAFC, whose email address you've highlighted there?

Did I… whoops

 

[Workingclass]

Imagine being reduced from a guy whose ongoing campaigns against coaches (Port and Crows) would mount the pressure such that they get sacked, to a guy who just writes truisms extending the career of the most unsuccessful coach in VFL/AFL history

 

[Portwon]

So channel nine news sports report.

Two minutes on Rachelle , two minutes on Hawthorn...

Thirty seconds on Port.

Don't we live in SA. Isn't there an SA team in the finals?

Ahhhh Never change.

Farken Pissants.

I bet there is not a single pundit in the AFL industry who would have picked Hawthorn to play finals this year. Zero.

 

[rogerjames]

On 3aw early this arvo they brought up the current state of SA football. Tim Lane, Leigh Matthews and Caro the hosts.
The intro was from the Tredders/Caro stoush where the grab put her in the best possible light. Then to further reflect on it they called up the expert, balanced opinion of one Graham Cornes. I couldn’t resist and tried calling her out on why would you go for a one sided view of things and her reply was she disagreed and “Graham and his sons don’t see eye to eye on quite a few things.”

Only reason she has a job is coz of her Daddy. She's a bigoted nobody.

Wow harsh. This was said on the back of Round 2 2023. I think most people had a similar view at the time.

They don't have a huge amount of first rounders and especially low first rounders so it looks like Mitchell in the least is a very good coach.

Well, given Carlton, Collingwood and Essendon were locks for the top 4 at Rd 16….


Interesting fact. If not for a Jed McEntee tackle, all other things being equal, right now we’d be sitting 6th and Hawthorn 2nd.
