He comes across as a bit of a tosser but he is one of the better connected people in the media.

Whut? There's all kinds of rubbish posted on here..
Oftentimes things will be repeated enough, regardless of validity that some will take it as fact.

I reckon he goes alright. Has an opinion, actually studied journalism as opposed to just having played, son of a quality sporting journo - Geoff, broke the Crows training camp story I think. Just because someone makes a comment that doesn't suit the narrative or criticizes the club doesn't mean we need to cast nasturtiums at them.

He was always right about McGovern coming to us halfway through Mitch's last season at the club.
He does have some kind of journalistic integrity where i am sure he double and triple checks his sources before reporting his mail, got to give him credit for that.

I think it could be the smug noggin/attitude on the character, can be off putting.
Does the journalism ok & has access to some people that matter in the industry to make the stories.

If I can get past the perpetual preposition abuse in almost everything he writes, then I'm OK with Sam McClure.
Generally well measured.

it conveyed what you wanted rather well, despite being of the botanical rather than the dispositionary variety,

We're desperate for a 3rd tall forward. Finally having three so 1 could play high and 2 could play deep our forward line actually functioned. TDK is only valuable to us if he can play that role and he did it very well V GCS. Lose him and we have what? Young, Lemmy?
No ruckman is worth big money unless they can play forward. I'm ok signing him up if he comes good up forward. That works for us. Clear some cap space elsewhere. There's plenty out of contract and a few who need to be traded. Surplus of slow mids needs to be dealt with.

Mirkov/O’keeffe won’t be ready for a very long time.
TDK can help if needed, but isn’t damaging as Ruck.
Pitto is a workhorse a good ordinary Ruck, big heart tries very hard for the jumper, but that’s all he can give.
If we want our midfielders to be more effective & potent , they need a quality Ruck, to distribute ball well and assist them around the ground, Pitto would be great support to 1st Ruck.

Yep he did but it's a bit of a weird situation. Had his journalism award stripped off him, first-time ever for that award, due to that article he wrote about the camp.

Just draft Caddy if he's there at our pick.
I think (for the 2 lamb shanks its worth) that our best option as that 3rd big forward is Kemp. Very good pack or lead mark and kicks a nice drop punt. You know that old kick people used to use where you aim at the goal, drop it straight down on your foot and kick straight through it. Ah the good old days.

Not actually Brad Fisher

The point was that we've recruited ruckmen, ergo the ruck position hasn't been neglected.
The fact that they haven't come on as hoped is the main issue.

Pitto is purely a ruckman, nothing else l don't see him in a support role at all.
TDK if he can bring it all together has much more to offer, we may regret losing him if this occurs.
Pretty strong argument for Mckercher or Nick Watson to address some needs also we need a few early selections.

Far from the worst idea I have heard…
Was it reinstated? Was proven to be accurate a few years later.
Can’t remember what happened with him, Caro/The Age with the apologies/retractions.

Old mate was hard to listen to. Just sounds a grumpy idiot
My bad, Pitto is a solid secondary Ruck option, but not primary Ruck , he’s the best we have at the moment.
TDK gives some relief only.
