Unless our players do it. Then it's either flying the flag or playing tough and intimidating football.
The only mistake Walker made was getting Tuohy to the head. If he'd bumped him in the chest there would have been no issue.

And the media wonder why they don't get "exclusive access".
As Darcy said, what do they gain from a few airport shots rather then requesting to speak with him when the results come back. Instead it makes it look like the media there had absolutely nothing better to do than camp in a car park for a few seconds of footage of a guy on crutches getting into a car.
If they want to fix all this, the AFL need to sit down and address this and basically say "hey we will give you access to players but s**t like that needs to stop."
As a fan, I couldnt care less when they put up shorts of the players in a car park trying to walk and not cringe as they get asked the dumbest ******* questions by journos as they head into training/physio.
Which leads to point #2.
Journos, if you want better access, lift your ******* game. Honestly, watching post game pressers is the ******* worst. Its almost devolved to "so you lost, are you unhappy about that?" sort of stuff.
If they want better access to the players, actually put some effort into what they are asking because the last 4 interviews I have seen with players and coaches have been laughable.
You are getting better questions and journalistic integrity from Roaming ******* Brian. Let that sink in.

This is not the eighties anymore, and the rules say the intentionally hitting a guy in the head is a suspendable offence.

What sort of questions should they ask?

Curtly Hampton has announced his retirement, effective immediately, citing no more love for the game.
Of course, Richmond flogs are commenting that the Tigers are so good, they can force a man to lose his love for the game.
Dream on, dickheads.

Maybe better questions about the tactics of the match, or about more of the match ups.
Or maybe it comes down to just not having the trash questions. Like when Worsfold was ask if he preferred the Essendon of the Carlton game or the Essendon of the Geelong game. Are you serious?
Or watch the presser snippet in this link;
https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/e...sfolds-prickly-press-conference-ng-b88838395z
And then you have people like Mike Sheehan coming out and saying "Oh why would Worsfold react that way they are asking legitimate questions."
Mike. Come on buddy.

Richmond? Plz. Just being in Adelaide would drain many of all their positive emotions.

Their fans are as big a flogs as their captain. Tex is a perfect fit at #wecryasone.

As someone who lives in Melbourne and has family in both Geelong and Adelaide - Adelaide would be the last place I'd choose to live. Everyone knows everyone there - it is horrible. It is very condensed and outside of Adelaide and its satellite suburbs, there are not a whole lot of interesting places to go. Geelong has a huge number of surrounding towns, FAR more to do and much less traffic.

Yeah that's the main problem with Adelaide. It's a very, very long drive to anywhere good.
Unless you like winery's and that s**t I guess.
I've heard there's a baby panda at the zoo though.

And even the baby pander probably spends 99.9999% of its time high up in a tree. Pandas are the king of false advertising animals.
Whenever I go to see one, you can't bloody see it because its up in the tree.
And you wonder why players leave your club

Obviously they like company, that's where most Adelaidians live.
But coaches rarely answer those questions with any depth. A guy like Chris Scott will just recycle some generic response about them watching the tapes and analysing it later or something, or the coach will get agitated by journos trying to talk about things they're not perceived to understand so they get chewed out over it. The whole thing is really a rather fruitless exercise.
He is a good human being but an awful caller.
P.S. It's far better to be a good human being.
it reinforced my view that the producers at the company instructed the performers to have more 'flair'. he and others were good in the 2000s and sometime early in the 2010s some dickhead had a brainstorm on how to 'improve' their coverage of footy. would be interesting to see if the other sports suffered at that channel.

Love Bruce and everything about him. Nothing seems contrived with him (which was great to hear him talk about last night). It's always genuine passion, he gets caught up in the moment, his love of the game cuts through everything.
I think I've become more of a fan as I've got older. As commentators get "edgier," every single thing becomes scrutinised and criticised, but Bruce just commentates with that same sense of joy and enthusiasm he's always had.
