Great post. The Advertiser has been Womans Day/A Current Affair disguised as a newspaper for a decade now.

Whilst I don't mind footy journalists having and expressing moderate opinions (all part of the fun I say), I just can't bear the standard of TV commentay these days. It is truly awful. They go out of their way to make it all about themselves and their personal likes/dislikes (Cameron Ling and his pro-Geelong, anti-Crows bias is the most insufferable example).
I recon Brad "'97'98 still hurts" Johnson is worse, NFI!

Rucci trolling the Adelaide BF board....;)

Basically anything that's bad for the club he'll push. He's doing his best to drive up the price of Lever and Gov and anytime someone says well the club will do whatever it takes he brings up Tippett, and if they say well he's a restricted free agent so we'll ask for two 1's he'll say so they're going to do a Nick Stevens?....he just trolls and trolls and trolls. How can you have a Chief Football Writer who is so pro Port in a Crows dominated town? Generate clicks by coming up with non-stop trolling of the state's biggest supporter base. I hate the campaigner.

Asking Jake Kelly about Thommo now on 5aa. Rowe calling Thommo "super important to the team".
Rowey gets worded up from time to time, can do a complete about face in less than 24 hours. You can be sure that he's selling the club line. Whether it's to preserve Thommo's standing or prepare sipporters for him playing again this week is the question. I'd be putting money on Thommo going again and Greenwood's freshen up including a less intense run around in the 2's.

Rucci is just a lazy journo.
Uses quotes from Five Double DerpDerp interviews consistently without any advice as to the "source" of those quotes.
Just so and so said "<blah blah>".

Thought that was a form of plagiarism actually.
Also no one talks to him (apart from Bevo who hates us) so he just makes shit up. Track suit wearing virgin wanker.

It goes further than a decade. It goes back the lifetime of one R Murdoch.

Kane Cornes on footy classified has reached peak *******. He's a shit stirring troll who is also overly sensitive.


That said...I don't condone Walker's use of social media. He's done some pretty dumb shit in the past.
Engaging in this kind of garbage is part of Kane's job description. It is not part of Walker's.

Listened to Rowey and Rucci talking to Leigh Matthews . Rucci in his typical way asked Mathews if the Crow and Port played today who would win. Of coarse Rucci was expecting the Port answer and when Matthews said Crows you could not laugh louder with Rucci changing tack with the question.

Yeah Rucci asked Doc Clarke who he thought was the AA ruckman at the moment and he was hoping/expecting Clarke would say Ryder but instead he just said he hadn't thought about it lol. Suck balls Ruc.

It's now more obvious than ever that Michelangelo writes his articles in advance, then fishes for quotes to suit his article. If they fit he uses them. If they don't he fishes further, finds someone else to quote, or spins it himself.

He's a story writer. As opposed to, you know, a journalist.

If it's good enough for the US President, it's good enough from Tex.

Kane is a complete tosser. Happy to have a go at someone and gets all upset when someone comes back.
