Roast The media....*Shakes Head* Part 4

[TheFVK]

Have met the guy many times. Can only speak highly of him. He's a knockabout kind of guy. If you don't like that, then you probably won't like him or his friends.

You've missed the point, point is you talk to anyone and they've got a different opinion on a public figure's character based on their own experiences, social interactions and whatever thirdhand knowledge they have at hand.

Better to make your own mind up based on your actual interactions (imo) rather than trusting the judgement of the guy next to you on these matters.

 

[chiwigi]

Which contradicts some reported interactions with him about the town whereby he's strutting about with his chest out while he and his cavalcade of Broken Hill mates query onlookers "don't you know who this guy is?"

Personally I prefer to reserve judgement on the character of these guys until I've met them personally. Don't forget 90% of the league thought Tredders was a tosser based on his onfield persona.

Troy Chaplin on the other hand is obviously an absolute campaigner.

My opinion os based on meeting both men. I am sure Walker is utensil of the walk in his home town though.

cRowie's copping a bit of flak today...

"Who says I'm dumb!"

People also forget that you can always catch someone on a bad day! I hate to judge someone off only one meeting as I would hate it for others to do the same to me! Who knows might have just forgotten their weetbix that morning.

You're right. The first time I met Dangerfield I thought he was a well mannered quiet kid.

You met him when he was 8?

 

[Steve Dore]

Nah

I know the couple he was billeted with at Grange when he first moved to Adelaide.

I wondered who could be misguided enough to call for the bouncer to be banned from cricket. Then I looked at the headline in today's Cornes article and I had an answer. No footy so Cornes has to drum up controversy by turning his attention to another sport.

One thing I did notice was Cornes' comment, Some of the world's very best bowlers used the bouncer sparingly. How would anyone, let alone Graham Cornes, really know if that was the case? Does someone keep records on the number of bouncers bowled in a career? I have followed Test Cricket since 1958 and off hand I cannot recall one truly great fast bowler who did not regularly employ the bouncer. Undoubtedly some may have used it more than others but they all used it.

If we were awarding the 'Downlow Medal' for the most mentions in the Shakes Head thread over a year I think Rowe would probably win but Cornes would be up there.

Yeah. I saw Cornes had written a cricket article and then ignored it. Just can not be bothered reading anything he has to write. Worse than listening to him. Just another person stuck in the past.

I'd like to use the old 'there are no words' line, but I certainly have a few choice ones in my head.

I saw that earlier. I don't think that article deserves the dignity of my response.

My advice is don't read It unless you want to get pissed off. Disgraceful article.

Bloody hell can News Limited sink any further in the gutter? what a disgraceful article.

Pretty ordinary bringing up the McCarthy stuff with limited knowledge of the goings on

 

[portly]

Everyone else is on holidays, so the work experience guy on school hols had to write it.

 

[raman]

Wow, a couple of paragraphs that would've earned a red card in Bay 13 end up published in a Murdoch paper.

One of the more shameless segues I've seen,

"Port's SANFL history ain't s**t and speaking of Port, John McCarthy..."

 

[I Dont Care]

Prick should be remembered on a wall of shame, and black-banned from ever using our clubs name in any article again

 

[mic59]

At least he accepts that if Geelong can claim VFA flags, Port can claim SANFL flags. But his Victorian arrogance fails to point out that pre-90s the VFA was inferior to the SANFL.
