Roast Media Shakes Head, Part 8

[Grave Danger]

Was he sacked from The Advertiser? I never read it anymore so I didn't know this. Hilarious

I think they call it taking voluntary redundancy. Not sure how voluntary it was though, or how redundant he was, because Simian Thomas-Hyphen seems to have slotted in to the same role.

Remember during "the streak (TM)" where the pre-game build for weeks was absolute wall to wall Kenny? Nothing about the players... just Kenny this Kenny that absolutely non stop. I've never seen anything like it.

Bwahaha and Ben goes Bang!

Must have been selected from a field of two.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

You know Ken is salty about this because Caro is parroting.

He is obviously blaming Grundy for our ruck situation.

Grundy turned down the Ken Hinkley Football Club. Probably a good decision.

He probably got Jonestown vibes when he met with the Port people. Maybe he told them he'd wait and see how the finals panned out. Or maybe he's a Paul Kelly fan...



But not Ben Folds so much...

My head just fell off...

Don't you treat him like shit

 

[manureid]

Whately is the nerd at school who somehow has found himself sitting at the table with the Jocks and cant quite believe it.

How on earth is it distasteful to choose one club or one city over another? Grundy can go wherever he likes, as long as someone in that city is willing to pay his salary. I wonder if Wilson would move to Adelaide if her employer told her "we can't offer you a position in Melbourne, but we've opened up a role for you in Adelaide"? My guess is she'd start looking at Melbourne based job offers from rival News Limited or whoever.

Grundy (I don't know him at all) seems like the type that would have nothing to do with Hinkley. Caro has to spin things in favour of poor creepy "Kenny". Everyone must simply love him.

 

[pastmyprimus]

Hinkley got his feelings hurt so he arranges for Caro to dump on Grundy. Clubs miss out on players they chase all the time, and they just move on. He’s a vindictive bugger.

 

[Alberton Proud]

Yep, there's definitely some phone calls flying around in the background trying to prop up Kenny's regime

 

[raptalia]

Not footy related but indicative of the Murdoch rag that passes as a newspaper in this town...

The lead story in my copy of today's Monopoly Times is all about a bunch of Scotch College boys who were suspended for a night time sortie to get some steak and chips. Not only is it the front page headline but it gets a two page colour spread a few pages in. Have I got my priorities wrong or maybe one of the boys was Ken Hinkley's nephew?

I guess while they are dishing up this trash they are leaving Port Adelaide alone.

lol everything in the background, but still not a peep out of the top brass publicly. Bunch of gutless squibs.

but my son has contact with one of his siblings. From what I have been told Brodie is very mercenary in his dealings and has some problems about returning to Adelaide and I have no doubt that a return to Adelaide was a last resort. Good luck to Grundy if he wants to go to Sydney but the thought of the PAFC being used still leaves a bad taste.

As for Hinkley he may have been the patsy in Grundy's game but at least he shows signs that he realises the we have to do something about our ruck situation and was prepared to get off his arse and fly to Melbourne to talk. I am not Hinkley's greatest fan but I am not prepared to knock him for having a go.

Rumour has it that Grundy is a member of PETA.

Streak comes to emphatic, shuddering end

"it's all on the players".

 

[bomberclifford]

Who gives a **** about Grundy. Move on ffs.

 

[finbarr]

Wilson is an horrendous gossip columnist who gets a pass because she's apparently smashing through the glass ceiling of the boys club.

I don't know the ruck hipster doofus but you would assume he wouldn't be into greyhounds and all that comes with it.

Also, his bro would have the inside on how he truly treats the boys.

I don't have a problem with Grundy going to the Swans. They have a pretty good midfield and upwardly mobile social life.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Who gives a * about Grundy. Move on ffs.

They are so precious. Everything has to be spun.
