Roast The media ... *Shakes head*

Glad everyone missed Graham Cornes' article on our NZ trip in the Sunday Mail

Uhh who?

Not missed just ignored.

I don't know why you'd even need to read the sunday mail

Twas in the Tiser actually.

He can't help himself, even if his digs are subtle. I noticed in the article he refers to 2004 as the clubs first premiership, not first AFL premiership, just first premiership. This is of course very intentional.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

He also misrepresents Wingard's accident writing that he had to be flown back to camp after his spill from the bike. Chad wasn't flown back to camp but to the next checkpoint where the doc cleared him and he carried on riding, then did all the activities the next day.

Maybe firewalking would have been a better option ...

 

[Pedro59]

Cant our Club cut all ties with Cornes and co and when they still comment about us issue a standard disclaimer along the lines

Mr Graham Cornes has no media accreditation with the PAFC
As a result of this the PAFC would like to make clear that the views of Mr Cornes are his own opinions and not necessarily based in fact

Was funny seeing Rowe and Cornes broadcasting outside of Hindmarsh stadium on Friday night. Obviously trying to re-connect with the SA sporting public after their terrible ratings a month or so ago.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Rini will be pleased they brought their special touch of magic that night.

 

[FishingRick04]

Did their ratings fall? If so sucked in

I think Rini would be morth worried about the North Adelaide influence that seems to have infected them on field as well as off

What a f*&$ing moron!! Just retire and go buy another car yard... Or even better, jump off a cliff

 

[Burningleviathan]

Big Sauce? What does that even mean?

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

Big Sauce = Sam Jacobs

 

[FishingRick04]

I don't get what big sauce means?

 

[Wargreymon90]

He's a red head?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

Big Sauce because he is a tall, red haired player.

It is Sam Jacob's nick name.

With Jacko said "Ben Jacobs" Gra-Gra thought he knew about Football.

Were they up in arms over the treatment of Slory (was once a very good player but has done very little in recent years, coach didn't play him, he retired)?

I'm guessing no. And I'm also guessing it's because Slory isn't Graham Cornes' son.

 

[finbarr]

Definitely got the Crow gene.

Kill it with fire!!!

 

[PortBrillance]

Agreed, He looks like your typical crows fan.

Typical Bigfooty crows fan

In the sponsorship article linked in that thread Capel mentions the 'expensive' training camp in New Zealand. It's funny how it's just left out there as a hint of financial frivolity and never mentioned that the players and the corporates who attended both contributed significant financial support to the camp.

...and yet these same numpties infer that we're being cheap when only offering Neon what we can afford to pay him.

The media bias in this town used to be a joke, but it's gone on so long and is now so overt that it has become a real concern.

 

[Power freak 2008]

Speaking of media bias. Our woes are always a source of entertainment for the papers but state pride should be more of an issue. The Bite are having crowd trouble. So are the 36ers, Adelaide United and the Lightning while the Redbacks aren't too well off either.

A few years ago a lot of these teams were thriving and near the top of the table. All sport teams in Adelaide are in the doldrums and I feel that we lack coaches and sponsorship dollars.
