Now I don't usually like the go on about Rucci, prefer to just ignore him, but did anyone else see his article about powerade? Made it seem like a big deal that powerade colours are black and teal
That was a shocker even for him. He has become a parody of himself.
Should we expect an article tomorrow about Ports training guernsey and how it has the same colours of sydney?
No, I didnt think so.

Rucci's article was a gem. He is pathetic, haha.
All Adelaide fans should be made to donate $10 at the start of the season, invest in some crappy company that might just strike gold in the desert, shares quadruple, sell up and build a new newspaper.
Sounds like a plan
now whose in?

Is that true he wrote about us having powerade gear in the colour of teal just as i was conteplating the idea of opening that trash up at work and seeing if things have changed
So i guess there will be more teal at the ground when we play rather than when port power play

Footy is starting to get serious so its time to get back on here and join the fray. And from what I hear from out of the Advertiser, the scrap between Rucci and the AFC is also getting serious. Apparently the Rooch has returned from Italy still spewing on the fact the Crows refused to pay his way to Dubai. He's had several verbal spats with various people down there since, and is emailing and telling everyone who wants to listen about his "problems" with the Crows. Apparently he can;t wait to publish his first Roast.

Personally I find both The Advertiser as a whole and especially Rucci absolutely hilarious (the powerade article is a classic). It is sad in a way that this "newspaper" passes for journalism. All in all The Advertiser serves as a daily reminder of just how small Adelaide is .

Does that include "Kenny" McGregor's articles too

I wonder if they actually had anyone at the game last night.
The reporter said Burton took his screamer in the second quarter (when it was clearly the third quarter).
I guess not if they were giving out copies of the Sunday Mail after the game - gee they must be desperate for readers...

Come now, we have got to let our journalists have a little poetic licence, they've got to sell copies after all.

Was perusing through the Sunday Mail tonight whilst waiting for tea and Jesper's article stated that Rutten played most of the night on Franklin. Yet in their little side bar bit they had written that it had been apparently talked about all week that Bock was going to man up on Franklin (I could have sworn it was Moran....) and that this match up apparently occured and Bock was able to hold Buddy quiet for three quarters.
The sheer stupidity, incompetence and lack of checking by the editors amazes me.

They weren't selling the copies James - they were giving them away after the game!
Why anyone would want a copy of the Sunday Mail that was being given out at 9pm on a Saturday I still don't know.

Hey a free paper's a free paper - also can be used as:
- bird cage lining
- cheap toilet paper (that way it can be totally full of crap)
I have to admit it was quite amusing getting a copy of the Sunday Mail on a Saturday night, then going home and telling Dad 'Here's tomorrow's paper'.
I wouldn't call it time wasting. I'd say that it's a highly productive exercise for him.Thought he would have been a shoe-in!
I love it how BigHawk has never made a post about Hawthorn
Rooch, does your boss know you waste valuable company time posting on Big Footy?
