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
I don't think emulating her would do any good, but I laughed!

I haven't really been following the story about the news coverage, can someone dot point why we hate elpelth and 7
  • Hunted down the girl in question and "encouraged" her to do an interview.
  • History of negative articles against Port and positive articles re: Crows.
  • Named Elspeth.

At this point, no self-respecting Port supporter should be watching channel 7 news.
The problem is that ch7 have the comm games so we have to see advertisements for the latest addition of Indigenous Port Adelaide Footballer bullying every 5 mins if we want to watch the games

glory be. So is it really true she approached the girl to do the interview? How did she find out about it?

Elspeth should have her career thrown in the trash for what she had done

- Targeted a girl to get a cheap trashy story

- Throws an incorrect, hurtful, slanderous accusation such as sexual assault at spp even though the girls account wasn’t sexual assault and the corroborating evidence does not show anything of the sort

- Used extremely coloured reporting to skew people’s view and get more mileage out of a trash story

- Making unsolicited advances on people over social media to try to coax someone into giving them more ammunition to get more mileage out of the trash story

- Has an obvious conflict of interest


Any one of the 5 things alone are huge red flags. Together that is a huge indictment.


We should honestly put something together and send it to the media (news stations, papers , media watch and the club)

You shouldn’t get to **** shit up this bad with the intentions she had and keep your job.

Snap, I am more concerned with the so called AFL investigation than anyone in the media atm. The AFL announces it is investigating an issue as a PR exercise then leaves the subject dangling for weeks while it makes up it's mind. What is there to investigate here? Your attempts to be seen to be doing the right thing have been duly noted Gil so move on and let Sam Powell- Pepper get on with his life.

Throw a banana at an Aboriginal Crows player in the heat of a showdown and you're the most racist person alive.

Using your position in the media to actively exaggerate a claim of sexual assault against an Aboriginal Port player, and all's good apparently.

That asshole who broke into a home in Parkside and brutalised a young women was arrested yesterday and is being charged with sexual assault.

His identity is being protected to the point that the newspapers have even deleted the identikit images.

Yet this channel 7 reporter has been able to publicly slander SPP with the same allegation of ‘sexual assault’, despite there being no police report or even any evidence, and she has been able to do it without repercussion.

Its absolutely disgusting. This kind of journalism is not only unethical, it should be criminal.

And yes I would feel the same way if it were a player from any other club.

Whilst I’m all for a freeze out of 7, it just won’t happen.

They can pretty much do as they will. For starters, they are a principal partner of ours. Any action would likely lead to termination of sponsorship.

Secondly, we could kiss goodbye any national FTA games under the current TV rights deal.

What can the club legitimately do?

Don't understand how the fk they protect animal's like that and in this instance with absolutely no quantitative evidence they are able to slander the accused

I want the AFL to hurry up and finalise their investigation / announce their findings. If SPP has no case to answer then it should be game on.
I’m expecting it to be handed down this afternoon, so the fact that SPP was nothing more than a drunk 20yo is lost in a weekend of footy.

It sounds like the perfect story for Media Watch to get their teeth into, but their producer would probably be like "Who do we have in our Adelaide office that can follow up on this - hmm, how about Ali Clarke, she's married to an AFL star isn't she? She'll know what's what."

Yes Media watch would be perfect with the right person investigating. I even heard an ABC person today saying SPP has apparently put his hand up a girls skirt. Wtf the girl said he put it down her skirt almost to her underwear.. All seven Adelaide and Elspeth had to do was get a few throwaway lines out there like up her skirt and sexual assault again and again and it takes on a life of its own. Elspeth is an absolute bitchface.
