Scape Goat Alleged SPP incident/broken curfew + malicious and exploitative reporting by Channel 7 news

[Janey]

There is a tweet by Ports1870 (I don't know how to post it here) outing Elspeth Hussey and saying that she tracked down the girl and got her to go on TV, the girl didn't approach them first. Daniel Norton “liked” the tweet so that pretty much makes it true.

I’m not surprised if this is the case.

If SPP didn't get sloshed on Saturday night then all this shit would not have happened. Suspended for 1 match, learns a valuable lesson for life.

So because he was drunk he deserves to be accused of being a sexual predator does he?

He may have broken team curfew, which he has been punished for, he may have let him self and his team(and fans) down by getting plastered, but that doesn’t give anyone the right to falsely accuse him of anything let alone give the campaigner Elsworthless campaigner Hussey the right to be his judge jury and executioner over accusations without proof. Purely because she dislikes Port and is on the Crows payroll.

Enough is ****ing enough. The club needs to take action.

i know this is extreme but what would happen if the hatchet job and total character assassination on SPP caused him to commit suicide. They dont know SPP. They dont know his mental state. They dont know what damage this is doing to him or his family

The lengths these ****s are going to destroy him is off the charts

The fact that the law protects rapists and paedophiles, yet a footballer can get publicly slayed without a shred evidence is sickening

Surely there has to be some accountability here

That is not extreme at all, it should be a genuine consideration in the way the media handles reporting on stuff like this.

The standard of journalism in this country is completely rooted.

If my mother had been born with wheels she would have been a bike.

Is it fair that a person be publicly labeled as a perpetrator of sexual assault without evidence or a police report?

The girl has done nothing wrong either mind you, but without a charge of sexual assault, I think that’s a slanderous label to apply to a person who is barely old enough to vote.

That is not extreme at all, it should be a genuine consideration in the way the media handles reporting on stuff like this.

The standard of journalism in this country is completely rooted.

Last year the media was lurking around public school children trying to illicit quotes about the suicide of a child due to bullying. They condemned bullying to the point that new anti-bullying legislation was passed in parliament.

But hey, this kid plays sport for money, let’s bully him because he wears black instead of navy blue.

I feel for both SPP and the girl involved. A minor incident dealt with in the best intentions hijacked by a rabid media organisation with no consideration for the effect their “journalism” will have on the subjects.

At least channel 7 will collapse when they eventually lose out on the rights to the AFL just as they lost the tennis.



TLDR: Elspeth is a dumb name.

 

[Interstater]

Thought must be put into how we show support for SPP for the Geelong game and for the Showdown.

And by we I mean the supporters, not the club itself.
Large #2 cardboard cutouts, SPP face masks, shaving your head and growing a thin mo.

We need to let him know that after he serves his curfew suspension we have his back.

Without getting too far ahead of myself, I cannot wait to thrash the crows in a few weeks time.

Our club has put up with a lot of shit via the Adelaide media over the years, this has to be the turning point. Put your heads together people.

If Sam did do what he was accused of, then he would have been suspended for it!

If same did what he has been accused of he would have been reported to SAPOL.

What CH7 are doing is bullying and harassment.

Ok. That's exploitation. Is this the ethical standard by which Channel 7 wants to be associated? Instant termination on the cards now imo.

We can wish. She would just get replaced by Annabelle Rothchild the Crow supporting daughter of an investment banker.

 

[Forzaport]

This really does need a strong response from the club.

We have a Channel 7 reporter that is malicious, exploitative, a propaganda puppet for the AFC and massively biased against Port.

It's war.

This isn't even about us to a certain extent. It's about ruining careers and live a through shoddy and exploitative journalism where all parties are bullied to push a narrative the news outlet wants in order to attract viewers.

They'd get another weeks worth of "top stories" and exclusives.

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

Please don't be stupid and reveal her name. She shouldn't have done it, but there are far greater implications her like her mental state and potential for self harm or harm by others.

The real person we need to shame is Lizzy the crows tart

 

[manureid]

Probably should change thread title and add on the end 'by elspeth crowie hussy'.

 

[Forzaport]

At this point, no self-respecting Port supporter should be watching channel 7 news.

 

[El Zorro]

I endorse the change of title for this thread.

 

[manureid]

Or that change will do.

 

[finbarr]

Kochie, buy Channel 7 and give Elspeth Hussey a dishonerable discharge pls.

 

[finbarr]

And Smithson while you’re at it.

 

[finbarr]

And Jane Doyle.

 

[rogerjames]

If the accusations are false the club should sue C7. Its time to take a stand.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Kochie, buy Channel 7 and give Elspeth Hussey a dishonerable discharge pls.

And Smithson while you’re at it.

And Jane Doyle.

And Cameron Ling. Not for bias against Port Adelaide, but for bias against saying anything remotely interesting or insightful.

100% disagree with this. We just need to acknowledge what he does on the field. We show the support that way. Hes not a hero, face masks should be left for heroes.
