FWIW I dont pay for the subscriber articles, it came with a phone plan.
 
What about anyone who used to like that lovely carol 12 days of Xmas?

I doubt there's a person alive who genuinely likes that carol.
 
Hell will freeze over before Graham Cornes swallows his pride and admits that marches from the mall and INXS sing-a-longs are simply the cherry on top in all of this. The club turned the corner the day it said goodbye to funk squads and fantasies of "Southern Power", and began embracing and appealing to it's traditional heartland again.

I'm fine with him doing this, it's that attitude that will be the downfall of the SANFL for example. When push comes to shove, we sure as hell won't be helping them.

It will be soon, the SANFL are on borrowed time. Any money gained as a result of AAMI's sale will go to the executives pockets and disappear leaving them with their hand out crying foul. Their time will come.

They'll hide behind "MUH GRASS ROOTS FOOTY, MUH COMMUNITY" but by then, they would have burned every single bridge they ever had.
 
Carn, this one's good


It's good, and it illustrates my point. The joke is that two unbearable things - that carol and Jimmy talking - are even more unbearable when combined.
 
Graham cant write a news story about positive things happening at Port without putting in cheap snipes all through his article


For example

All good points.

Cornes simply cannot resist having a dig at Port can he?

I am not sure that Cornes actually believes half of the crap he writes. It has got to the stage where he has painted himself into a corner and does not know how to get out. Surely no one sees Port as the Crows MKII as Cornes appears to believe it is?

It's easy. He really admires Port, but to water it down for the SNAFFLE and Crows, he puts in a few anti Port bits here and there.

I just want Graham Cornes to do one thing: RETIRE! The Adelaide media without Old Wrinkles as part of it will be slightly more bearable.

I actually feel bad for them. They have dedicated a whole thread to it now. How the hell could their club's media department do that to them. I would be spewing if Port did the same
It would be like us embracing the never tear the tarp song that Ali Carl (or some other long forgotten radio person) sang a few years back... Our customers would revolt against the franchise!!!
 
Cornes still does what he did after the 1990 SANFL grand final, he can't compliment Port Adelaide without a swipe at them. He even cost the cows a go at the 1993 GF with his anti-Port coaching. He took Hodges off which none of the players could understand. He tried to justify it afterwards on the basis of stats but Modra and other forwards knew stats were not the reason. The ridiculous story of the fart was even touted as a reason for the turnaround.

Did Katrina Gill used to work for us, or did she just do Port stories for the AFL a la Harry Thring? These days she is the 'Content Producer' for theadelaidefootballclub. Glad to be rid of her if the 12 Days of Christmas atrocity is her best work (or maybe she is still working for us ;) )

I started to skim that article and thought WTF, Wrinkles is writing a positive article about the PAFC and then I hit this bit that you highlighted;

Stopped reading at that point.

Never change Wrinkles, never change.

If he actually opened the book he might learn something.

If he was to print the opinion of Port people rather than his own skewed view ... ah whatever Graham.
 
KG on his Port bashing again.

Absolute dickhead
I have a good friend in the cricket scene - we were discussing the woes of SA cricket and he actually pointed to the attitude of a few high rollers and leading lights of days gone by that had prevented cricket in the state from moving forward. We got to KG, all he would say that was printable was that he was a very ordinary bloke in his eyes and not loved by his playing peers in the day. It would seem to get a gig in the media over your way you must either be a Crow ambassador or an anti Port Adelaide redneck and be universally disliked by the common man.

"Birds of a feather stick together."

That works in so many ways.
