Has it been established definitively that Rowe actually said that? Has someone got an actual transcript of what he exactly said or is this someone said that someone said that Rowe said... type thing.

meh...I'm finding it hard to be outraged by that Rowe comment. Advocating putting some hurt on a a player that is carving you up has been standard footy fare for generations.

On a free to air broadcast while being paid to do it?Half this board has been saying similar stuff about Betts for years.
I phoned 5AA this afternoon to get information on lodging a complaint should the comment be correct. I mentioned the comment to the receptionist.. The response I got was (1) Laughter then (2) a comment, i know him, that's Rowie , but he's a nice guy". Appears the radio station considers it a joke. It just strengthens my resolve.
There appears to be people posting here who seem to also consider that comment is acceptable under the circumstances of calling a football game. That it is not citing violence. If you don't like it, turn off. etc
Really !!!! Am I living in the twilight zone.
To those people. Threebquestions
(1) Where do you personally draw the line ? What comment in the media becomes not acceptable ?
(2) Is there a difference if that comment was printed in say The Advertiser rather than stated on radio? Surely, there cannot be any difference : media is the media.
(3) If it was a comment directed to YOUR son or your child, would you have a different view?
I will separately identify outside of BF on what exactly was said to be word for word perfect.
If the comment was actually stated, I will be making a formal complaint to the radio station if nothing else so that bastard is put on notice for future.I will demand a rely that could be submitted to ACMA.
Never in a million years would I have thought any Port supporter would have considered that media comment to be somewhat insignificant or over the top. Shame. Shame.

Calm down Doris.
It's hyperbole FFS. He wasn't actually hoping for Robbie to 'piss blood'.
He'll, i once posted on here that I hope Joel Selwood gets AIDS. Since apparently this is something that now needs to be cleared up, I don't actually hope Joel Selwood gets AIDS. I was just very angry that night.
Rowe's reaction on live radio is one of the reasons I wish port to dominate the AFL for a long period of time. These types of outbursts make me smile. Our team playing well did that and I want to hear more.
If people don't know what he is by now then they haven't been paying attentionHe's meant to be a commentator, not someone who sits in the outer.
