Welcome Welcome to Collingwood Dan Houston

Korn seems to dip his smelly unwanted toe in everywhere these days doesn’t he.

As someone who is employed in the media, that’s his job?

 

[Knoxy]

Last week I heard him complain about club's posting pics of their players training during the off season..

I never click on anything to do with Kane Cornes now. He's capable of good footy analysis but I'm just sick of all the click bait rubbish that he spews out.

Neither do I. This was on sen.

Nick looks very lean.

I don’t get it, what’s unreasonable about that?

The players are on holidays, shouldn’t their clubs be leaving them alone?

Without fail you defend the journo. Every single time

The club's aren't hassling the players. Players post pics of themselves training. The club reposts them on their account.
Most supporters generally enjoy seeing the players dedication & motivation for the next season..

Yet Cornes typically finds something negative about it. He doesn't think seeing them training in the preseason is worth noting or seeing at all.

I’m not going to have a crack at a journo for doing their job?

Yeah, I get what’s going on.

The players are on holidays. it’s none of our business what they’re doing. If a player wants to publish what they’re doing on their own social media - that’s their prerogative. But it’s no business of the clubs or ours IMO.

Exactly. Hence why it was a silly thing for Kaneo to complain about

And it kind of is the club's business if player's are putting in the training off season. And as a supporter, I personally like to see it.

Fwiw, Kaneo wasn't complaining about invading their privacy. It's already in the public domain. He thought any posts by anyone (including the player's themselves) training off season was useless information & 'embarrassing'.

It was merely another example of Kaneo having a crack at something for the sake of it.

I couldn't care less what Kane thinks about holiday snaps; I'm just grateful Nick posted this one. Maybe one to rank with Jamie Elliott's classic from years gone by?

[TradeDraft]

Just WOW .... even WOWWEEE !!

Offered everything we had by way of draft capital and players and altho was never enuf for a player of Dan's stature, the fact that we did genuinely try our best means the managers get involved and I'm guessing have long memories and clubs have reputations. Ours is that we always try our best and generally pay overs,.... but not this time.

Well done all involved at the club over the journey. Reputations aren't made in a week (can be burned in a week tho!).

Go PIES !!!!!

What would been us overpaying?

I don't know what else we could of put into the Houston Trade

For 800 k plus that seems fair and reasonable

If the player is posting holiday pics on socials and the club reposts the pictures with their permission then what’s the issue?

I don’t think you get what’s going on at all tbh.

My employers have always respected my right to my time and my privacy when I’m holidays.

Maybe you’re right, maybe I am a unique case and I don’t get it?

Does your employer contact you when you’re on holidays? Do they repost your social media happy holiday pics to their feed?

Are you taking the piss here because I genuinely can’t tell.

We’re talking about players in the public eye, who have open social media accounts making public posts almost daily for their fans to access. Players who want their privacy are perfectly entitled to it, there’s a reason why clubs don’t re-post pics from certain players (few and far between), no club is forcing this.

Your last line is just f***ing ridiculous. Of course they don’t, I’m just a random who the general public wouldn’t give two shits about. If I was a public figure then it might be a different story.

For the record, Cornes wasn't whining about the player's privacy.

He was having a go at player's &/or their club's posting pics of themselves or their player's training during the off season. He thought it was embarrassing, looked silly & not worth posting about at all... including the player's themselves posting on their own public social media accounts.

I'm not sure how this commentary has now turned into a privacy issue. That wasn't what Kaneo was having a whinge about.

 

[76woodenspooners]

We’re talking about players in the public eye, …

No we’re not.

It’s off-season.

They’re in the public eye for the other 10 months of the year. That’s not now.

Apart from their contractual obligations to not to bring the AFL into disrepute, and to maintain some semblance of their fitness base - for these two months of off-season they are just Joe citizens like you or I.

Re: Players. If they want to show their Grandma what they’re up to, then that’s great and a credit to them. But that’s best done on private channels. They’re on holidays and it’s important that they give themselves a break, recharge, rejuvenate. Get themselves primed for a big year next year. And that means taking a break from providing a commentary to the social media crazies like you and me. (I don’t think them posting is wrong, I just think it’s ill-advised)

Re: Club reposting. I think this is wrong. The club shouldn’t be encouraging it.

As for us, surely we should be able to take a two month break from inspecting the contents of Nick Daicos’ daily poo?

You realise majority of footballers have public social media accounts? They post on these accounts for the prime reason of being seen doing whatever it is they want us to see..

How/why did you make this a privacy issue, when that wasn't even what the initial conversation was about?

You sound new to social media.

Here's Tommy. Don't look.



Here are some more of the players training at the AIA Centre during the week..

I suspect Nick’s poo is also known as ‘The Spice Melange’…

I think you lack a fundamental understanding of what being in the public eye means.

They’re elite athletes being paid to play pro sport for 10 months of the year. That is a job that puts them in the public eye, but being in the public eye is not something you can just turn off with a switch. People don’t stop being interested in these players just because it’s the off season. Being in the public eye is a 365 day a year thing, whether they like it or not and that has nothing to do with whether or not the clubs re post some Instagram photos.

Your last sentence pretty much confirms that you don’t really understand the concept, because they don’t just magically become Joe Public in the off season. They’ll still be recognised in the street. Asked for selfies. Autographs. They still have a fan following. None of that just goes away because they’re not in at the club every day for a couple of months.

And none of the players seem to have any issue with it. You seem to be getting outraged on their behalf which is weird.
