The way Ch10 was travelling the Port Bigfooty posters could've just about bought the station. My line-up for the evening news:

- Macca and Portia (sorry Rick) : Joint news presenters
- Schulzenfest : Sports presenter
- REH : Business report (time limits strictly monitored)
- Power Girl : Weather presenter
- Alyx : Memes of the week
- finbarr : Weekly hard-hitting editorial
- Janus : Shit club/no history segment

...Is it sad that I really want this to happen for real?

So the person who broke the SPPstory is a massive crers fan and employee of the franchise.

Thoughts crers fans? Should Port lean on channel 7 to have her sacked? I am sure the former Franchise board member who is now her boss would be on board.

We have the next best thing here anyway (and on Portfan radio).

Elspeth [el-speth] as a girls' name is pronounced ELS-peth.
It is of Scottish and Hebrew origin, and the meaning of Elspeth is "God is my oath".
Scottish short form of Elizabeth. Author Elspeth Huxley.

Being part Scottish I now feel dirty.

So considering the trashy lengths she's gone through to defame SPP and anyone or thing associated with our club, is this an implied agreement that she'd be comfortable with us doing the same to her?

Dig back through her Facebook photos?
Contact ex-boyfriends?
Contact estranged siblings?
Contact classmates?

Everyone has a skeleton in the closet. I'm sure there's things she's not proud of doing.

Ordinarily i would never condone doxing. But are we to interpret this is now all fair game?

Had a quick look and her Instagram profile is PRIVATE.
That was obvious. Likes taking a shot but most likely cant take it back.

Filthy leftie here to give my two cents.
But I have absolutely no opinion on whether Sam is innocent or guilty and same applies for the girl. I think we're expected to have a concluding statement on anything, but in this case I think that it should be encouraged for people to simply say "I don't know". What I do know however is:
  • Sexual assault is an insanely serious crime that massively ****s with the victims mindset, self worth and general wellbeing
  • Sexual assault is hard to prove or disprove, so any form of obstruction (say, the mass media reporting relentlessly on it and skewing it in some stupid manner) should be frowned down upon and borderline illegal
  • Victims are often shit scared to come forward because they're afraid if it isn't proven, people will just assume they are a liar. Especially if allegations have been put forward to the absolute shit stain that is known as modern mainstream media.
When the girl came forward she probably didn't anticipate the shitshow that has came with it, regardless of whether she is innocent or guilty. Regardless of the outcome, the media have essentially pushed back any progress made about how we as a society handle sexual assault cases.

Wonder if they drank themselves to oblivion and stayed out after 2 am that night.
I imagine they would have started drinking just after half time so unlikely to make it to 2am.

She probably resembled the scene from Kenny at the Melbourne Cup by the final siren.

Everybody loses from how this has been handled.

This is really the argument against self regulation in regards to media reporting.

It wouldn't be unreasonable to blacklist Elspeth at this point.
Needs to go beyond that.
Big deal she’ll be blacklisted club won’t talk to her.
Her malicious behaviour will continue.

Her “reporting” on Port or its players and fans isn’t journalism, it’s personal, it’s character assassinations, etc. You could even call it a form of bullying.

She has absolutely no consideration or regard for how her attacks on Sam may affect Sam mentally, or the repercussions he may now face, or his family.

The kid did nothing wrong, but you wouldn’t know that from that miserable malignant c*nts reporting.

Say that girl’s father found out from the 7 news reports first, and lost it and went and did something stupid down at Alberton.
That Hussey campaigner should be held responsible in some manner.

That so called Port fan with the Clarkson incident received death threats. Did she give a toss that she played a role in that?

How would she feel if she was on the receiving end?

Nah, the club needs to do something beyond blacklisting these ****in miserable ******* crows ambassador mother ******* campaigners.

The accuser’s not to blame for this anyway. Channel 7 are the ones acting inappropriately, not her.
Well she is partly to blame as she went to the media and not the police.
But the dogs at 7 news would have gone the way they have as soon as they found out.
Besides do we know why she accused him of wrong doing anyway?

No the best way is someone film Elspeth out of context late one night in public then plaster it everywhere. Then ask anyone who likes it or replies why she was so out of control amd then report any more public photos from any other time out of context. If she whinges just tell her it's serious journalism and it is up to the court of public opinion to decide when they are over it
