Roast The media....*Shakes Head* Part 5

[Boxx]

We're reserving the saltiness for our recruiters, putting Venables on a hiding to nothing before he's even played a game and possibly wasting our window by passing on SPP who would impact immediately.

Unfortunately Venables will always be compared to SPP, mutch the same as that bloke that Richmond picked instead of Buddy (I can't remember his name).

For the record, I reckon WCE got a very good player as well - it's just we got a better one! Lol!

If they lose Lever and McGovan in the off season, WOW!

If they lose Lever and McGovan in the off season, WOW!

They won't. Their managers know Adelaide will be desperate not to lose them (even more then the usual not wanting to lose good players) and overpay. They'll call it a win. It's the talent they can't attract in or a journeyman or two they'd otherwise have kept that will be the cost. That'll never be admitted, that they've panic buyed at top price.

Their song has always been a huge gripe of mine. I don't think it would have been humanly possible to write a more self congratulatory wank of a song.

It's sung to the tune of the US Marine Hymn

Perth Demons, the shittiest WAFL team, but the original team of Lance Franklin and Jaeger O'Meara, their club song is sung to the same tune



And Weribee Tigers in the VFL



yet neither sound anything like the Crows club song

Yet Port Magpies, Sydney Swans and East Fremantle are all fairly similar, sung to the tune of the Notre Dame Fight Song

Doesn't matter when they sign Fyfe.
At least the Showdowns will get easier as we can just set SPP onto him.

You just unearthed a repressed memory from back when the whole John Hopoate thing happened. Dermie was on Wide World of Sports (probably) and tried to be very sincere and progressive when he asked if Hopoate's apparent interest in anuses meant he was gay.

lol I can totally see him saying that with the way he sits up, stretches his neck out, looks at the camera and speaks in that lowered tone to imply greater import before pursing his lips at the end #tooderm

It's sung to the tune of the US Marine Hymn ....

Not just the tune but some of the words. I'm with Doctor Feel in that the pretentiousness and arrogance of the lyrics irk me.

It is one thing for the US Marine Corp to say they have the "admiration of the nation" but another thing entirely for a team in a national competition to claim.

"Admiration of the nation,
we're the finest ever seen;
And we glory in the title
Of United States Marines"

As for being "the pride of South Australia" that is a twisting of these lines;

"We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine"

The marines are not claiming to be the pride of anyone, they are saying they are proud to be called marines. If the Crers sang that they were "proud to be South Australian" that would be one thing but claiming to be the "pride of South Australia" is so arrogant. I am a South Australian and so are all my family and we are not proud of the Crers. Imagine if Collingwood claimed to be the pride of Victoria?

Last season I could go to the AFL site and download each quarter of our match replays as mp4's and then watch it on my tv through my media player. Now this year I need a live pass subscription by the looks of it? Am I missing something or does anyone know a workaround?

New media deal. MILLION$$$

Was worried that may be the case. Dammit.

 

[Schulzenfest]

The hint was in his name the whole time.

They should've drafted Daniel McStay.

 

[Doctor Feel]

They should've drafted Daniel McStay.

Headline:

Should he McStay or should he go?

 

[Schulzenfest]

If Daniel McStay ever leaves Brisbane and the headline on AFL.com isn't 'Daniel McGo' then everyone involved with that website needs to be sacked.

Get a Scottish Clash cover band to do the background music.

The Crows are a feeder competition just like the sanfl

Ollie Wines was on 5AA this morning for his weekly segment and Penberthy asks him a question about SPP and them being known as the "Bang Brothers" (before being corrected). Laughs were had by all.

Warning: If you are 12 do not google it.

Needs NSFW warning

OT: I see that Penberthy's current wife, Kate Ellis, has been appointed to the Crers' board.

STEADY EDDY
Adelaide reporter Lee Gaskin did plenty of digging to come up with this gem:
AFL Fantasy coaches across the country were sent into meltdown when Port Adelaide forward Brett Eddy was an 11th hour addition to the Power’s side to face Fremantle last Sunday, but no-one was as shocked as Eddy himself.
The 27-year-old was on the golf course on the day of the game when he got the call from coach Ken Hinkley just after midday to tell him to bring his boots to Adelaide Oval.
Eddy booted two goals in the Power’s 89-point thrashing of the Dockers after he came into the side replacing Hamish Hartlett, who had the flu.
Eddy has retained his spot in the side for tomorrow’s night Showdown with Adelaide, easily the biggest game of his career.

Got this one from http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-04-07/late-mail-live-all-the-round-three-whispers

Bit slow isn't he? That one was in the match commentary and Eddy's post-match interview. And the cowvertiser the next day.

Rooch and McDermotts best showdown lineups of all time as a combined team. CHF. Matthew Robran.
