Embarrassed Port Adelaide player Jack Watts has improved since scandals: AFLPA

Embattled Port Adelaide player Jack Watts is said to have recovered and improved after suffering from separate accounts of being embarrassed via social media.

So he's improved in the past few days... Gee that's a great sample size. I'm glade he's kept a low profile and not got himself into trouble since the weekend... 🤪

I read the article on Outline.. who wrote that garbage?

Not sure. But geez lets solve this mystery, Watts is recoverying. This kind of poor Power puff piece has to be our mate Rucci.
 
If Gupta fails there are bigger issues in SA than Port getting the cash they are owed. What he is doing is saving Whyalla and keeping some form of manufacturing in our state as well as providing some innovation in the Energy Industry. Our State needs more people of his ilk to invest here.


I channel 7 are cheerleading a Gupta failure, they can sod off. There are some things bigger than Port v Crows shit fights.

One of your finest posts Geoffa and so true.
 
The port thread on their second sponsor is interesting reading, they are 100% convinced that the story about Gupta not paying local contractors is a crows fabricated conspiracy, with not a single sane voice among them.
They think the AFC runs channel 7 but on the same page they talk about the timing of the story by channel 7 they post a link to channel 7 doing a negative story about Optus on the day they are announced as a sponsor of us. They've justified this cognitive dissonance because the gupta story mentioned a potential sponsorship announcement on the weekend but the optus story doesn't mention the AFC.
It couldn't possibly be that the story about optus being fined $10m is a national story so channel 7 adelaide read out the script that all channel 7 local news around australia were given, while the story about Gupta is a South Australian story that will only run in South Australia so requires a local channel 7 journo to write the story.

They must think our president is a senior personality at channel 7 who has co-hosted their breakfast show for 17 years with the amount of inside power they think we have at that station.

I will still poke fun at how long it has taken KT to fill that key sponsorship spot and no doubt there is some of assistance from the Government as part of the package to entice Gupta to invest here. I personally think KT is a mediocre CEO, great guy trying his best, but out of his depth if you guys want to grow.

But hearing that C7 are basically trolling you guys through a possible.failure of what Gupta is doing is disappointing for a news agency based in this state.

The timing of that story and mentioning the sponsorship is pathetic IMO.

Our club has nothing to do with it. It is a pure ratings grab. Tabloid, gutter journalism.

The most likely scenario is that the timing is caused by the rumoured announcement but not out of a want to sabotage Port Adelaide. The 7 news journous have to fill a certain amount of time every day and they probably have to fill a certain amount of minutes with local stories. They find out about the rumoured announcement and start preparing for that story by looking into the company, while looking into the company they see another story that they can use to fill air time and tick off their local news quota.

It is a also a "story" that will trigger conversation. I bet more people watched the news bulletin and shared the Tweet. Which is what these tabloid news agencies want.

However you cut it they are basically trolling Port on the basis of a major investment in our state failing.

Which is disappointing for a supposed news agency.

Adelaide now are also running with and have comments from the ombudsman, so there’s something to it

To call it trolling is saying a good news agency would not run the story because a football club wouldn't like it, which is the opposite of what a good news agency should do.

Trolling would be waiting until immediately after the announcement to run the story

There have been issues in the media around late payments from LibertyOneSteel since December. With talk among those involved well before that.

Just a mere coincidence that a day after Port say there is a major announcement, everyone knows it is related to them, C7 run with this story and mention the upcoming sponsorship?

Well I think it's quite relevant to report regardless of the parties involved.

Company X is rumoured to come on board as a major sponsor of Team B. Concerns over Company X's use of funds given they are causing cashflow issues for local small business by enforcing long trading terms, plus Team B has a history of bringing on sponsors with question marks over their financial operations etc

Seems like a legit link. Like others I'm happy to bash little brother but I genuinely hope Gupta is ok for the sake of our state economy.

Wouldn't expect any less re the Port v Crows ribbing but as you mentioned its the bigger picture here thats most important. Local channel 7 should really not be getting offside with Gupta without knowing whats going on behind the scenes. I work for Liberty and talk to contractors all the time. The media have less than half a story and decided to milk it as usual.

That the story arose out of a report by the Small Business Commissioner is what makes this conspiracy particularly insane.

Somehow the AFC/Channel 7 cabal extends to controlling independent Government agencies.
 
Oh FFS.

This is embarrassing. The AFLPA is weak as piss.

Our thoughts and prayers need to be with Jack during this difficult, trying and challenging times.

We need to show more respect. :drunk::drunk::drunk::drunk::drunk:

And this shows how pathetic our little brother is - any publicity is good publicity.

Look forward to the whole house of cards collapsing this year down the Port.

Hope the tarps are on standby.

Love how quickly Port supporters and the club were to believe nothing illegal was involved and probably not, whatever.

Imagine the comments over there if one of our players had a similar video of one of our players, I don't know, just doing a line of Wizz Fizz off their partner or something.

What he did was a shocking look for their club and the game, and was always going to get attention from the media.
