Roast Media Shakes Head, Part 8

[Interstater]

Eddie McChins would be all over this if he still had a dog in the race. He'd be bringing up our media to not be called Port Power then seizing this to create further division and pushback on the One Club - PB.

if - LOL

man, he owns the racetrack

Yeah, but he would look like a clown bringing it up now. He works in the shadows these days.

Can't help but feel like it's a little testing of the water for a partial club re-branding.

What like the once off change to the logo for our 150th?

Nah they'd never do that to us...

Definite ‘frog slowly boiling the pot’ vibes.

If the idea was to wear us down so as to not really care, they’re doing a sterling job.

This “Port Power” pivot, temporary or otherwise, would’ve had me wearing my fingers to a nub 5+ years ago.

Now I’m like “huh, that’s quite anachronistic” and go about my day.

3/4 time? It was the entire game. Was clearly a directive from the club.

Would that mean the next time we wear the PB the directive from the club would be to call us Port Magpies .

Had me fuming the entire game. I really struggled to enjoy the game. They had even organised the cheer squad to try and get 'portpower' chants going. The club is a ****ing mess

It's clearly part of their long term brand strategy for the club.

Lean into The Teal Port Power and put distance into the Prison Bars era.

 

[Interstater]

If you really want to salt the wounds then watch the last 30 seconds of the Ollie Wines post match interview - sheesh.

 

[Winestoppable]

I would love a please explain from the club as to why the pivot in accepting "Port Power"? Of course we will hear crickets though?

Always was going to be permanent rebrand with one club in mind

FFS could they please ban Ahmed from Point Cook from SEN talkback. Hands down the most boring person on planet earth.

 

[chiwigi]

I really don't see how we need yet another football show. The ex-players might need it but we don't.

I genuinely don’t watch ANY of them.

The hur hurr Melbourne bloke voices are enough for me.

Can’t watch player interviews let’s be honest, they aren’t going to give any insight.
I don’t watch any post game or half time shit either. If I want to see some decent analysis I come here.

Got to admit I love it when I hear someone I know calling up one of those talkback footy shows to have a whine. A bit like seeing the name of someone you know/knew or their parents writing a letter to the editor back in the old days of print media.

There's this pompous lawyer I worked with for a short time , now retired, who lives in one of Adelaide's most prestigious leafy avenues who used to dial into Five AA but now calls into Dwayne's World pretty regularly. He's a mad crows fan who hates Port with a passion (don't they all) - and his calls are almost always about Port.

What gets me most is that this old tosser tries to cover up his identity by using variations of his name. But has the sort of Rumpole of the Bailey plum 'up your ass' voice (without the wit) that makes him instantly recognisable.

He's the Crows fan that the quintessential crows fan aspires to be. But in reality couldn't be further apart from them.

Just saw an ad on $even (at work) promoting last weeks game between the lions and crowz

 

[SC_Power]

Good to see that the outrage about concussions don't extend to the Matildas.
Clearly suffered a significant head knock during the France qtr final, surprised that she played on.
Wouldn't confirm a concussion despite missing the semi final v England.

MEDIA, crickets. shakes head

Similar to that Barnaby Joyce blooper the other day where he watching the wrong Matildas game, I read about some narked off Sydney fans who thought they were watching a replay of their 2005 GF win over the Eagles, except there was no "LEO BARRY - YOU STAR!!" moment because it turns out they were watching the 2006 game.
