The Advertiser has been more than just friendly towards the Crows over the years.
Perhaps criticism in the local paper has come as a shock because you lot are not used to it.
Who's sooking? Think you will find most in this board think AFC would be better concentrating on a win than complaining to the advertiser.... When you play crap football, expect criticism. Easy way to get positive comments is to win a game!

It was in general including Club administrators and general Crows supporting public.
I have read all the posts on this thread, and it is pretty clear from them who thinks what.

The general Crows public has always been overly precious and soft regarding negative media about the team.

There was the anti-Don Scott movement in the early 90s...
Then there was the uproar regarding Sam Newman/The Footy Show...
Then this preseason there was a general uproar surrounding Vic based journalists and their predictions that we'd miss the finals etc...

It's a bit rich for the club to go moaning to The Advertiser though - as I said earlier, the club was quite happy to keep silent and smug about the negative predictions coming out of Victoria while loudly trumpeting that we were a top four side.

See what you are really doing here is sooking yourself about a pereceived bias in the Advertiser towards the Crows against Port which is a load of crap.

On the one hand you guys are so arrogant and on the other have an inferiority complex about the Crows. Its interesting.

C'mon now Jars did I say bias?
The Advertiser is there to make money. Let's face it, it is owned by News Ltd now.
The majority of it's readers follow the Crows.
If it has lots of good news stories about the Crows chances are it will sell a few more papers.

Thanks to the bucketload of good news stories the public is not used to criticism. Quite the opposite.
They can do it themselves, but buggered if they want someone to write about it in the paper or even report it on radio, TV and the like.
If it then is in an article written by a supposedly Port sympathiser, then strike me pink that creates an uproar.

You want to call it bias? That's up to you.
I don't call it anything, it just is.

Putting it simply, nothing ive seen in the advertiser is any worse than what has been written by most crows supporters on this board since the pre season began.

So really i dont see where the problem is...or where the intense Rucci bashing comes from. Hes only written (or copied if you will ;) ) what most Crowies here have written anyway.

In fact what the Advertiser has written has been quite mellow compared to a lot of posts on here!
I don't have any problem with what the Advertiser has been reporting. If you play bad footy, you have to expect bad press.

Obviously, the club administration sees this issue a little differently however. Since the club does manage to generate some of the interest that sells Adevrtiser papers, then I guess they have some justification here to state their case.
