i think i've missed the incident where emma's copping flack.

what happened?

She was on 5AA with Rowe and Cornes, who were surprised Emma had gone with the story without having seen the contract itself. She immediately started defending herself stating she had built up a good reputation over a long time. She could have quite rightly said, yes I am quite confident in my source.

I don't think anyone has problems with her reputation as a journo, but it really seems odd she went with this story if she didn't expect to cop some hard questions her way. Just leave this gutter shit to Caro, it suits her.
 
Rooch missed the biggest story of the year because he was having a make-over......

SCARY!

But probably the best you could expect given the raw material...

As we know the AFL blocked our attempts or possible attempts to trade Kurt. Therefore, if we are found:-

a) guilty - any punishment should include the losses we have already incurred by not being allowed to trade Tippett. For example, if the AFL don't consider pick 23 and Jesse White to be of less than fair value then I think it's fair to argue we have already been penalised at least a first and second round draft pick already. This has to be part or all of the punishment depending on its severity.

b) not guilty - we need to be compensated with draft picks because essentially the AFL would have penalised us already and that needs to be reversed.

Whatever the verdict our club must push this.

That's what I said this afternoon, if we're found not guilty of anything, but they have disallowed any trade, they need to compensate with a very high draft pick to make up for it

she tweeted that she didn't expect to be hammered during the 5AA interview and that she was disappointed. and some of us did not think it was a hammering, that the questions were fair.

cheers fellas. sounds like she's done something she's not really comfortable with, and sounds like she wont be in a hurry to do anytime soon again.

But that wasn't the point though. Being questioned about your ability as a journo is more than "hard questions". Its just disrespectful.

She just didn't speak with the same confidence that someone like Caro would. Doesn't mean she is isn't 100% correct with what she has written. Everything she's done during this off season has been spot on IMO.

Cornsey and Rowey don't know what journalistic ability is. They just smash in, but they do occasionally ask the questions that no one else who had any idea about how not to insult your guests would ask.

Like telling Anna Meares that she was called a cow by the british press during the olympics. That went down a treat...:rolleyes:
 
looks like the same farcicalness in the papers tomorrow;

The Age:
  • Quayle and Wilson stating that they see no alternative but for the club to be banned from the draft
  • the he sent the email, no he sent it debate continues
  • Ireland was told trade wasn't going to happen early in the week
  • Tippett's Dad was going to get an Injunction put in against the AFL - Kurt stopped him
  • Blucher going to get deregistered
  • Tippett to be deregistered, then not to be deregistered, then going into National draft, then going into PSD :confused: - they contradict each other
  • Wilson makes it sound like the AFC has just gone out and bombed Hiroshima after being little nice boys for the previous 21 years she's known them
The Advertiser:

  • Rucci thinks he's like a kid in a candy store and tries to put everything in that he learnt from reading the Age on friday so to make everyone believe he's known everything all along due to his great journalistic skills
  • With his own Anti-Crows paranoia he then ignores the mistakes he's made in the previous days paper by continuing to make up sums of money and reasons to why Steven Trigg is worse than Bernie Madoff when it comes to money laundering.

So pretty much what we've come to expect from 'journalists' in Australia......not much substance, more innuendo and rumours than facts? Pretty soon when it's discovered that it's not as bad as everyone thinks they'll be "move along, nothing to see here" and no-one will be held accountable for any mis-truths, etc, etc.

And to think once a long time ago I was interested in being a journalist and then luckily for me I woke up and realised that I actually like to deal in facts so that ruled me out of the profession....

Whilst I really don't like Caro, I have to agree with 90% of her article. However, what I can't believe is how she is defending poor blucher! Protecting a source perhaps? Clearly the guy is dodgy.
 
What I don't like is the constant speculation of what our sanctions are going to be. Who do these journos think they are? They are guessing just like the rest of us (basing it on Carlton's sanctions, blah, blah...)

she didn't seem 100% sure. i mean, she wasn't sure if the afc said not to tell the afl about the deal or not but she put it in her article anyway. even "excellent" journalists can make mistakes and she has. for all we know the story is true but she had no business writing things that she could not back up with evidence without emphasising that it was her source that said this or that.

Doesn't seem to bother some other journal....
Doesn't seem to bother some other bottom feeders that we all know and love.
 
what I love about Rucci is when he gets something wrong he naturally goes on to exaggerate it and even then when it gets proven wrong he'll still quote it in the future as he got it right, what's more is he'll come on this morning on 5aa thinking he's the President of the Smugness community believing he knows all, that he's been at the forefront and been the major player in everything that happened this week. :rolleyes:
