News Media Thread, 2024: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

[Tugga27]

It's got more to do with his public antics outside of AFL 360. The gambling quip was a joke but he's well-known around the traps for indulging in a tipple a bit too much.

He's apparently been off the squirt and darts since his heart attack a few years ago.

Anyway, I'm not going to die in a ditch over it.

Someone letting more of the wackier AI generated stories at the age get out?

Not if the protesters have their way.

Went the Daniel Chick route with his troublesome ear so should have more consistency.

Looking forward to seeing what Harley Barnett does next year

Weird take. Ginbey looks like a potentially elite defender. You'd take that every day of a week from an early pick (see: Brad Sheppard).

Jenkins has clearly never actually watched him play.

Not only that, his stats are very comparable to the players he was drafted with. He also showed quite a bit in the last part of the season. Makes no sense.

and Dan Hannebery become trusted members of the media?

Ridiculous take - Ginbey is going totally fine. Yeah sure he's no Will Ashcroft but he was always going to be a slow burn - he was considered a "raw" top 10 pick and that has borne out. Currently looking like, at worst, a very good, imposing, quick half back. Probably not going to reshape the club but a perfectly fine first round pick who did show some genuine growth this year.

Hes clearly just looked at stats to make a decision, assumed hes a full time mid and compared him to Sheezel/Daicos numbers

Listening to the likes of Jenkin’s and Hannebery on trade radio is simply painful- not just in relation to us but on any club

Their research/preparation is woefully inadequate to the point where even simple things like which draft picks clubs hold they don’t know or get wrong

Taking anything they say with a massive grain of salt

Jenkins suggested Baker could captain the Eagles in 2-3 years time ignoring the fact that one of our current co-captains is younger than Baker so unlikely to finish up before Baker does

More evidence to why not all ex players make great journos/analyst.
