Draper and cohort concerned

[WetCrow1991]

What the **** is channel 7’s problem with us at the moment?

Need some of the Crows boys to do some war crimes, DV, SA, or set their parent's house on fire. Then Channel 7 would love us.

You believe what footballers say when standing in front of a camera and microphone? Good for you, but I live in the real world.

Lol. Media says Draper concerned so starts a thread bagging the club. Draper comes out and says it's bullshit. You say he's lying. I know you hate the club but try harder.

What's not consistent about that? Players are never going to bag other clubs in the media, look at the hullabaloo that Ginevan and Rachele caused, and Josh was only bagging Port supporters for fun. Everything that you see in the media is stage managed and scripted to within an inch of its life. Surely you know that?

So logic tell you to wait until what the other side says given the "report" mention "understandable" and Sid's "camp". Surely you know that? Like you said, the media is stage managed and scripted and the "reporter" happened to have rapport to Power Power who told him they were confident of landing Cumming who happened to select us the day after this "report".......staged and manged

The club has a lot of shortcomings and deserves the criticism it gets, but this certainly isn't one of them. Seems like an opportunity to bag the Crows just cos.

God this thread is embarrassing.

I can't imagine telling everyone to see through staged news whilst starting a thread about a staged news bulliten.

Yeh. Port or Victoria are his preferences.

Crazy just how wrong all this talk was. He was desperate to try and get to the Crows.

I mean.....benefit of doubt though, who knew Josh Money is now the Port Power mouth piece.

I assume OP was banned for making this dumb as shit thread?

Everyone bar Goodings and Smithson on 7 are tealsters.

 

[Geoffa32]

Funny how so many Lemmings cling to every morsel of Footy "News" so much so the so "journalists" make shit up to sustain the demand.

Industry built on lies and clickbait.


This dick head got caught our royally.

Port Power knew we were a chance to draft him so he was just doing what they told him, the timing was always suss as I recall it was the night before Cummings selected us?

Doubt it had anything to do with Port.

Just rubbish tabloid muckraking.


Generated a ton of clicks and "discussion".



How mush talk is their about trades each year compared to how many big name players actually move.


Oliver and Petracca still at the Dees. Despite daily "updates " on them leaving.


It's all theatre.

Josh certainly was not on the money

Wouldnt be the first journalist to use their position to run a narrative for an agenda for the club they support. Rucci did it all the time and not only did he never hide the fact he did it, he openly bragged about it his entire career. There are very few journalists in the footy industry who dont at some point cave to doing their teams bidding.

Had the feeling the quip may have been used

 

[hippyhippy]

Even though it was fake news... It doesn't really change the fact that the crows admin handled the Rachele situation stupidly

The problem isn’t the journalist, the problem is there’s been zero repercussions for him.
Run him out of business or make an example of him and others might think twice next time.

The AFL protect themselves & the journalists through their accreditation.

They encourage journalists to ensure noise to make sure they are always in the news. They are not concerned whether there is truth to the story, so long as its not damaging the AFL brand

Agree, if the aim of the media is to report news and do actual journalism.

But it isn't. The main aim of the tabloid Footy media industry is to create discussion and clickbait to generate advertising revenue.

He did his job well.

Yeah but we already knew that. We'd more or less agreed that when it happened.

You can't just come out and say "Ken's unprofessional outburst in the semi has Zak Butters disillusioned and is considering quitting the club", get immediately proven wrong, and then go "Ah well it doesn't change the fact that Ken's outburst was unprofessional."

 

[Mostyn]

Looking back, Money's report and the posters paranoia that followed couldn't have been more wrong.

Even before being proven wrong, we should have taken that report with a grain of salt. It just didn't sound authentic.

No need to have a crack at 1970, 28 people liked the post.
He wasn’t a lone wolf that believed something unbelievable.
Unless you knew the family personally it wasnt out of the question for a draftee to not like the way another kid was handled.
