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.
It's a small thing, but I would rather see Tex focus on what matters. What Kane Cornes, or anyone external, says is completely irrelevant. Why get involved?

Additionally, I don't think Trump is the standard we should be judging our leaders by.

Seems p@@@*d that Walker's two reports are not cumulative trying his best
It's tough on the psyche when you get your hopes up (even for the tiniest of things) to then have them quashed.

What a tiny, tiny man he is.
His articles are such tripe. The agenda is so bloody obvious and he doesn't even attempt to hide it anymore. He described Tex's onfield persona as "meek" up until a few weeks ago. I'll scan the first paragraph then discard as its always a special brand of horse sh1t flowing from that blokes pen.

Wildy and Bicks last week were magnificent. I bombarded the show with tweets begging them to make it permanent.
Then it became Rowe & Rooch & I turned immediately to another station!

Ps. Would be interesting to compare the ratings for the 2 weeks...

Might have to look into that. Should start a petition to get rid of Rowie. Do Facebook ads and get a million signatures! Boom problem solved. Do the same with Rucci.

It is embarrassing for our state and us footy people that live here that this flog who's sole aim is to whore out for click bait is deemed our Chief Football Writer.

Says more about the footy media in SA than Rucci himself. Although if he had principles beyond the dollars he is paid (and free flights to Shanghai/Hong Kong) he wouldn't do it.

He talks about corruption in sport via gambling and doping yet misses the point of his employment and his own conduct.

It would be nice if we had footy media in this state that did not just live off Port v Crows trolling and the click bait/discussion it generates. Some proper analysis and discussion of both clubs would be nice

Here we go again

If it was a Port player nothing would be said, but as always when it's a Crows player Rucci gets on the front foot seeking clarification/complaining.

Happened in the past as well, Burton had carry over points that weren't added to his penalty so Rucci rang up the AFL "seeking clarification" which led to Burton being suspended, but a couple of weeks later the same exact thing happened with a Port player and when it was pointed out that Rucci didn't contact the AFL about it his excuse was "It's not up to me to make sure the AFL is doing it's job properly".

The guy never changes and still to this day he stupidly tries to pretend that he doesn't have an agenda even though anyone with half a brain can see it.

I have said it numerous times before, he's the Andrew Bolt of SA footy.

He's clearly a shill for the Port Adelaide Football Club and has been for years. Sadly, he checked his journalistic integrity at the door years ago and all he does now is write editorial pieces that are for the betterment of the PAFC and the detriment of the AFC, much the same as Andrew Bolt does for the Liberals.

He has absolutely no reputation within the sporting media circles and is viewed in Victoria as a joke and is often used as an example of how backwards SA supposedly is.

Sadly Newscorpse seem to not care and think that he creates controversy.

Wow, another anti-Tex post by Rucci in today's Advertiser. Is he running a vendetta or what?!

Link (behind paywall, unfortunately).

It's just part of his and Cornes' tag team effort they've been peddling since Kane became his media altar boy. I'd guess it's all part of building up the "feud" between Kane and Tex, Muppetangelo also gets the chance to flog himself raw at the same time forging forward with the latest episode of his childish agenda against Adelaide.

Bahaha chappy just dumped it on rooch on AA. Said the club told him what really happened in the SANFL game but he went with the story anyway 'to push his agenda'
Good to see the club leadership has called out Rooch on his bullshit story sensationalism this year.

Just keep isolating Rooch & making him irrelevant.

I bet Rucci smashes the club tomorrow morning. I am certain he will claim that a well respected source he trusts supplied information that a high up official in the Crows lodged a complaint against West. He will probably also argue that we exaggerated the incident with the drunk supporter. He is a flog. I saw that troll on the street last week. Should have given him both barrells.
