He absolutely wasn't. He only just came around to us about a month before finals and even then it was begrudgingly. Still tipped Bulldogs against for us the the elimination final mind you.During 2022 and even the back end of 2021 I actually remember watching King on Fox Footy and he was being super positive with us and our ball movement.
Re. King's "PR stunt gone wrong", what I react to is not his description of it being PR, but of it having "gone wrong", in that it hasn't gone or doesn't go "wrong" until he declares it to have done so. Its going wrong is defined by it failing to be taken at face value, which — let's face it — is pretty much the fate of any announcement by the club, if King has any say in it. Which he does. Always. In saying it's a "PR stunt gone wrong", he's just talking about himself (again).
The other thing to keep in mind is that, in the field of public relations, it's implicitly understood that there is no "public" but, rather, many "publics". In the knowledge that King (and multiple media voices) will happily criticise any move/announcement by the club, I imagine that the public that the extension is aimed at is not solely or even primarily the public implied in phrases like "PR stunt gone wrong" but rather several key internal publics (e.g. players), who have now have had any concerns/doubts about the club's plans answered for them.
Again disagree,I think the opposite, it fuels the media. David King was spot on with his comments it's a PR stunt gone wrong. If we have a bad start to the year the whole club looks incompetent, not just the coach.
If we have a good year the 1 year extension becomes irrelevant. If we have a bad season this year JLo still has to go, and the board should go too for throwing away an unnecessary $800,000 to Longmuir.
I'm shocked to hear that the media analysis is fingernail deep. Absolutely shocked.That interview with Gossage & Hase.
I think your argument when it comes to King in this instance doesn't mean much.
He provided more game analysis of the Bris/Coll sides in 30 seconds than anyone else has given in a year.I'm shocked to hear that the media analysis is fingernail deep. Absolutely shocked.
I think it has to be listened to by everyone in here. For reference, all interviews in here and you can find the one Drago talking aboutThat interview with Gossage & Hase.
Yeah loved it. Came across as passionate and invested and actually gave a pretty clear reason as to why we play the way that we play. Liked the veiled swipes and King, Kornes and Colon as wellThat interview with Gossage & Hase.
I did a quick transcript when he talks about the gameplan for those too lazy to listen:I think it has to be listened to by everyone in here. For reference, all interviews in here and you can find the one Drago talking about

I don't have an argument when it comes to King. I was describing what I react to ("Re. King's "PR stunt gone wrong", what I react to is ....") . The only argument I was making was that the public being addressed by the decision was most likely an internal public rather than an external one.

Well a counter-point here is that we film almost all major things these days, everyone's happy birthday song is caught on camera. It is just the way things are these days. The presence of a camera doesn't mean that things are confected.Yet the club videoed it to place all over socials and then put out an article about it on their website? Why if the target audience was the internal public would there be a need to do external announcements?
Propose to my wife in private and then record it and plaster it all over socials while saying it was not for the general public? This has South Park vibes
I just think the club has accepted responsibility for pruning our list a little harder than we should have over the past couple of seasons and have, reasonably imo, reset Justin's time line a little.
It’s going to be the worst flag in AFL/VFL history and will result in speculation about Longmuir’s futureThe media will always find a negative spin on Freo ,even if we win a flag it will be Freo's deplorable grand final win
In the vein of NicNat’s text to Sonny it will be “Kerr’s recorded prison call to Norm Smith Medallist Banfield leads Freo to inaugural flag”West coast greats pave the way for Freo win

Yep. It's up there with 'ball movement'.Love listening how exasperated he is with 'Just go fast you'll score more', because far out that grinds my gears.
I don't know what to expect really.I think this is a fair assessment of the situation. Give JLo an extra year to get the list to gel.
He still needs to show he can make some progress during this season, as it can't be pushed out to 2025.
Unfortunately, I am not convinced we are going to improve much this season.
Here’s my two cents worth, I thought it was a brilliant PR move because it takes JLos contract status out of the weekly news cycle, yes we’ll cop some criticism this week, but as more information comes out about trigger clauses and potential get out clauses by this time next week it will not be news worthy and the club can get on with playing football.Would you like one?
