Funny how all these "Hinkley is losing the players" and "Hinkley and Hocking have reportedly had a falling out" type rumours are emanating from radio stations and shows hosted by crows board members and club ambassadors.

Yep..
**** me, you lose a couple of games and Ken gets shit rumours spread from these media hacks.
Pissants..
Yeah heard that.
"Dennis" from North Adelaide calls in with a minute to go in the show. "A bunch of players have applied, widely reported, what does that say about the club....."
Within 5 seconds Roo reckons he has a text message confirming. Suggests it may be Tommy Logan. What's going on down there blah blah. Conveniently they have run out of time and will need to let that negativity hang for the day until they can confirm tomorrow morning that it is all BS undoubtedly. Damage done, mission accomplished.

Not only is it unlikely but also almost impossible due to the process. Nobody could complain about Logan, he's a rookie ffs!
Ricciuto's a sneaky shit who'll use any tactic available to destabilise us. The appointment of Walsh was as much about throwing a spanner in our works as it was about getting someone to coach them.
And if it's true that Logan has applied, stiff shit. He's a rookie. Good on him if he makes it into the MFS. "But let's paint a picture of the entire leadership group wanting to jump ship into the MFS anyway".

Ken's lost the players? LOL what a bunch of shit. I mean, even if it was true (humour me) atleast the players had bought in in the first place, am I right Phil? Roo's salty because he knows the players run his club and his weirdo head coach has no control over them.
"Denis" probably works in the Accounts dept at Triple M and was told to ring up with this "rumour".
Meanwhile if another caller rings Triple M to tell another version of this rumour which paints Port Adelaide as positive or that the rumour is bullshit, he wouldn't get past the producer.
Just on Walsh, Ricciuto originally offered him the Senior Assistant role with a Stuey Dew as head coach. When Walsh declined the offer he threw the senior coach job at him such was his obsession with prying him away from Port.

I really hope Caro goes all Essendon-ASADA style and keeps up her criticism of Roo in the media like she did last week. The irony is that for years the Adelaide media have harped on about Eddie McGuire's conflict of interest in the media and now we have an exactly similar situation with Roo.
On a side note, I hope one day the script writers of Underbelly produce a series on illicit drugs in the AFL, Australia is blessed with a plethora of fat balding actors who could play the series' main star, Rucciuto

Lifted the majority of the script he used while emceeing Tredders' testimonial from the great man's Wikipedia.
I knew it sounded familiar because I wrote a lot of it.
I hope he was paid entirely in West End Export.

Roo is obsessed with anything/one Port it seems.
Just let em be, they're having there fun now. While in the meantime the cows have only beaten Gold Coast's C Grade by 40pts, and St Kilda by 40pts.
They're going to get found out in the next month you'd think.
Then we can have our fun!

They will get found out, but we lost to Brisbane
I would take 40 point wins over any team atm.

Not the first time that Roo offered someone a job at the Crows only to backflip a few days later from what I have been told.
Perhaps Eddie from Eastwood should ring in with this one tomorrow at 8:57
It's a shame because his brother was a grand bloke* before cancer took him. He would have been better in the media. But he was just a copper and not the perpetual runner-up in world squash tourneys.
* This view may be influenced by him giving me my first Port scarf.

What's the supposed rumours been thrown around in the media? What is MFS and all this crap?

Rookie Tom Logan considering a career outside footy SHOCKER!
It's even funnier because Tom Logan is the name the Daily Mash use in spoof articles.

And you have to love the way the local media is pumping up Eddie Betts. Channel 7 news called him the new Tony Modra last night. The guy is an excellent player, but I'll go out on a limb by saying that, if he played for Port, the hype wouldn't be as great. And he certainly wouldn't have a pocket named after him

Yep PR Machine is in overdrive ATM
They've finally realized that Port has caught up and possibly overtaken them in the last few years and they are desperate to claw back that lost ground
- Eddie Betts hyperbole
- "Ground Balls" and "Coolers"
- Memes masquerading as news
...and this is just the tip of the iceberg
We have to win this weekend
