News Media Thread, 2023: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

[KERRPOW]

Didn’t have Gavin Bell being Sam Pang’s cousin on my bingo card.

Little snippet dropped by Nic Nat on the Front Bar tonight.

Cant you see the resemblance?

 

[ziad]

For all this talk of clubs trading for pick 4 to get to Reid, why isn't there speculation that we'll try to trade directly with Gold Coast for the pick?

Surely we have the points they need, and that way we might snag one of McKerch or Curtin and keep Reid.

doesnt sell papers in melbourne

Cant you see the resemblance?

I can't.

Dal Santo one of the rare one's saying we should keep it

 

[Altum Volantes]

Which of those years would they have won a flag if West Coast hadn't punted them? In 1990 they finished fourth in a top five, 91 was fifth in a top six and 94 was seventh in a top eight. They weren't winning any of those premierships.

I didn’t say he was right!

They made it to the GF in 88 and were playing finals regularly - he played along guys like Stynes who won the Brownlow in 91. I reckon he thought they were right up there and got humbled when the heat was on. 3 times skittled in the finals in your peak years by one club = bit of a grudge.

He is by far one of the better ones. Have always liked Nic Dal Santo as a player and now in the media.

Could do with a new voice box or a third agget

 

[EagleMan87]

because that suggestion doesn't get as many outraged clicks on their website as making dumb trade proposals does.

Vic-based Eagles fans, do your thing.

Nice video from the club for Father's Day:

[Carbine Chaos]

I mean, he's not wrong.

 

[Big_Birdy]

I mean, he's not wrong.

The B&F was practically based on games played and playing in the backline. Its not really relevant to anything.

 

[Tugga27]

I mean, he's not wrong.

I don't get why he's stunned TBH.
Who does he think was going to figure in it?

We're the "worst side in history" and he thinks the top 5 is going to be full of jets.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Can't be arsed digging out the top 10, but here's the top 3 the last time we were shit:

2008	Dean Cox​	450	Quinten Lynch​	360	Adam Selwood​	316	[18]
2009	Darren Glass (2)​	340	Shannon Hurn​	329	Mark LeCras​	328	[19]
2010	Mark LeCras​	294	Matt Priddis​	286	Beau Waters​	281	[20]

Mostly leftovers from 2006. Two players played in the 2018 Premiership, LeCras in his last ever game.

 

[twadds]

We clearly live rent free in Kane’s head.

 

[Spod]

The club probably should have just called it the best, fairest and least injured this year to be fair. Gaff shouldn't have been anywhere near it on form but you can't fault his ability to not get injured.

 

[The Dodger]

Spends all year saying how shit we are then is surprised that our B&F has a few names in it that at other clubs or in better years wouldn't be there...

 

[Shuestar13]

He’s an absolute fool and only fools like or find reason in anything he says.

 

[Tugga27]

North Melbourne's top 5 from last year.
Not exactly full of champions but I can't recall Kane commenting.

1.	Jy Simpkin	130
2.	Luke Davies-Uniacke	108
3.	Bailey Scott	98
4.	Todd Goldstein	93
5.	Luke McDonald	88

He wouldn't. North are irrelevant.

West Coast on the other hand will always generate a reaction for his bile.

 

[Lia]

Bad, injury ravaged side has a bad top 10 for their bnf, such brave analysis.

He evidently works hard at it.

this dude is ****ing obsessed

[WA footy mad]

Cornsey is totally correct to many players in our top 10 fairest & best shouldn't be on any AFL list.
They are at best good WAFL players, but you cannot sack then all in 1 year. WCE will delist at least another 4-6 players & do the same next year.
The biggest mistake we have made is these ridiculous long term contracts with large sums of money to older players if they don't want to be here for X let them move on.
