Mega Thread Crows Media

[AFC3000]

Can someone please up load the Dangerfield special on channel 9 news tonight.

Looks like it was intended as a club sanctioned Get Away piece hosted by Crows ambassador Kym Dillion more than a Caro article. Patrick answers it with the homes great stuff, then went on to how close he is to the team, Sando etc so its hard to leave.

Had the pleasure of picking up a stay advertiser in the lunch room. 2 page spread on the fact that there is no curse at the AFC.

On ya rucci! Top journalism!

Wow Rucci really has a grudge against the crows

 

[Hank93]

Sando is on talking footy soon, hopefully he answers my question I sent in on the mysterious absence of Jarryd Lyons.

Why don't any journos ask that question in his weekly pressers?

 

[Bailey01]

3 people asked the question about Lyons

Of course he does, the guy has abused his position for years for the betterment of the PAFC and the detriment of the AFC.

I have been aware of what this clown has been doing for years and his blatant hypocrisy. I am also not surprised that I am still waiting to hear him grilling opposition coaches for insight into Port's game plan in post match press conferences like he did to us.

Back in 2006 when Adelaide looked almost unbeatable Rucci attempted to get information from every coach in their post match presser as to their insight into Adelaide's game plan. He would ask things like "what is the secret to beating Adelaide", "how do you think opposition coaches can nullify Adelaide's game plan" etc I remember thinking how strange it was at the time because he was constantly doing it after every game, it was almost as though he was doing in the hope of trying to expose Adelaide's game plan so that other coaches could beat us.

Understatement of the century. I foolishly read Rucci's advertiser article online this morning. Nothing's changed.

He does nothing but ridicule the Crows and Sanderson at every opportunity. Total twat.

Trigg interview with Hutchy on The Sunday Footy Show right now.

 

[betterthanu]

Sando on ABC grandstand right now for the sunday inquisition is fascinating to listen to.

I'm not going to give the shitehawk the benefit of more hits, but you're all bound to come across this one at some point in the next 48 hours

A question every Adelaide supporter may need to face up to is whether Crows fans wish they followed Port Adelaide HERE is a question asked in all seriousness: How many Crows fans wish their club was like Port Adelaide?

As deep — and bitter — as the rivalry is between the two SA-based AFL clubs, how many Crows supporters are surveying the landscape today and concluding things are being done better at Alberton?

On the field, the Power has:


A TEAM that ranks as the competition pacesetter with an 8-1 record. Adelaide has not known such a status since 2005 when Neil Craig introduced “zones” to make the Crows the toughest team to play against.


BETTER players. There would be more Power players today up for All-Australian nomination than at Adelaide.


A MORE entertaining game plan that has stood up in every Showdown against the Crows since Ken Hinkley arrived as senior coach last year. Hinkley has built his game on defence, but it also demands exciting, hard-running plays through the centre corridor to make the Power a high-scoring team.


A SOUNDER football program — with a proven fitness coach in Darren Burgess and a genuine development system in the SANFL with the Magpies.


SMARTER recruiting system with Geoff Parker and list manager Jason Cripps having delivered in the off-season with Jared Polec, Matt White and Jarman Impey.


Off the field, Port has:


A SAVVY events team that is constantly developing a far better pre-game build-up at Adelaide Oval than the Crows who should question how giving the “19th Man” flag a lap of honour before a match can be considered entertaining.


Flag raising — and folksy chants — simply cannot compare with the “Never Tear Us Apart” theme that accompanies the Power team in the 60 seconds before the opening bounce.

MORE appeal to the “neutral” fan wanting to experience the Oval as an event rather than just a football game.

A YOUNGER supporter group that is giving the Oval a feel that is the talk of the nation — and inspired Brownlow Medallist Gerard Healy to dub the venue as “The Portress”.

GREATER national media appeal, as evidenced by AFL360 crew on the Fox Footy Channel “adopting” the Power as their team.

STRONGER voices — particularly from president David Koch who has given up seeking any friends in the old guard at SANFL House. This is strange considering Koch is based in Sydney and his Adelaide counterpart Rob Chapman is in town.

As the most-powerful man in SA football, Chapman is well connected in business. He can call up any of the many Crows ambassadors in the media to take up a club cause — or to set the agenda — in a 10-minute radio spot.

The Crows are now independent of SANFL control, so there is no risk of Chapman or his chief executive Steven Trigg being asked to hand back their club tie should they say anything out of line with the SANFL script.

So, as much as it hurts to think it, would Crows fans prefer the Adelaide Football Club to resemble Port Adelaide today?

I haven't read the Advertiser in a while, but wow that is comfortably the worst article he's ever written. What a knob.

He really is the worst sporting journalist in Australia - lucky us.

 

[Mike Smyth]

Where Rucci's anti-Crows diatribes in the past have made us laugh or pissed us off this one is different. For the first time ever, after reading this, I actually feel embarrassed to be a Sth Australian. It's a sad day for journalism in this state when an article like this could even get published. He really is the lowest form of human being as are MOST of his fellow PAFC supporters.

A question every National reporter may need to face up to is whether news fans wish they followed Michaelangelo Rucci HERE is a question asked in all seriousness: How many news fans wish their paper's reporters were like Michaelangelo Rucci?

As deep — and bitter — as the rivalry is between the two media companies (Fairfax & News Ltd) how many News supporters are surveying the landscape today and concluding things are being done better at the Advertiser?

 

[AFC3000]

Rucci has got to be one of the worst journalists in Australia, I've got more respect for gossip columnists, at leasts they are upfront about what their job is.

You only have to watch Rucci's bit on that SA Footy Show Sundays to see what kind of a person he is. Hutchy and the rest like to have a laugh at his expense but I am sure they really have little respect for him.

As for the Advertiser look at the wording of the poll with the article "yes, we want to win more games" and "no way, not ever"... sure, that's not leading the reader at all.

Port are up, we are down, it wont be that long before things reverse, it happens all the time. Lets see if Port have got what it takes to sustain this success when things aren't going their way on field. They have already had 2 10,000 drop offs this year against lesser or similar clubs to their true self, and that's while they are up and Adelaide Oval is new.

 

[AFC3000]

Matthew Clarkes interview with Fiveaa just went up, I haven't heard it yet but I think there was a little conversation about it in another thread.

 

[Bailey01]

Bit of an argument in there haha

Does Rowe get his rumours from this board? He mentioned the Dangerfield injury rumour tonight - problem was he was 24 hours behind.

A question we will have to face up to??? Because while I'm walking down the street some idiot is gonna jump out in front of me and pop that question…???
…and then I'm gonna have to face up to the question ..? what..has this idiot got a gun? Is he an agent of the dick head brigade? Is there a law now that says i have to answer a question that wouldn't even cross my mind? Sure, I want to be winning games but FMD seriously?? What kind of ludicrous journalism is this. ….OOOOOOHHHHHH, its Rucci. Now I get it.

 

[footy4ever]

Both Rowe and Rucci get a lot of material from BF. I should start a believable but totally fictional I-was-told-by-a-very-reliable-source thread, and see how long it takes to get on 5AA or into one of Rucci's articles.
