Jay Clark

[rye]

sorry if there is already a thread for this, i cannot find one.

has there ever been a more uninspiring football journalist than this guy? it beggars belief how he has somehow landed the position of chief football writer at the hun. cannot recall any articles authored by him that were worth reading.

first crack went from a must watch to a hard pass with him on the panel. can't help himself from forcing trade / contract discussion into the conversation every chance he gets.

has become very hard to avoid on fox footy programs.

surely there are better journalists who deserve to be given a significant platform than clark.

what gives?

Dumb, ambulance-chasing campaigner. I can't cop him. I can't believe someone so dopey could write big articles without a team of subeditors pounding them into something legible. I'm glad he's off the Sunday Triple M show

Had a bit to with him when was at the addy.
Seemed ok, but very full of himself.
He’s painful now.

who needs sub-editors? that's the AI's job.

Surely Robbo had an army of editors at the HUN when he was too pissed to proofread or went on Essendon fan page inspired pieces? Jay should be able to poach a few of those

 

[Doss]

Jay just showed his elite knowledge by claiming Essendon would be losing their “next captain” if/when Sam Draper leaves.

Draper.

Genuinely clueless muppet.

Too busy with puff pieces on Collingwood, Geelong etc.

This man has single handedly ruined First Crack, which was one of the few shows left that actually breaks down the games of the round without the headlines attached to them.

Absolutely shits me to tears how long he takes to get his point across. When you watch on delay, you can fast forward 60 seconds and he's still waffling while Kingy and Joey are looking at him like he has two heads.

First crack has fallen off a cliff since he took over dicko/huddo

ff is a joke, I can only assume they're intentionally trying to crater viewers as some sort of insurance scam or something? The decisions being made at that joint are beyond reprieve

Someone rang SEN this morning about this and had a crack at David King for not challenging Clark. By the way, he called him "Jye".

The guy said, "Kingy, when Jye Clark was dribbling on about Essendon, then said Draper was gunna be the next captain, you almost broke your neck looking around at Montagna to check if you were hearing properly, you didn't pull him up? You didn't pull him up about that?! You were just gunna let that slide??!"

The Essendon tangent on the last show might’ve been the worst thing I’ve watched on any footy show this year

huddo please come back

 

[ReturningHawk]

If there’s anything worse than Kane Cornes, it’s someone trying to be Kane Cornes.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Saw this on Reddit. Look at King and Montagna's facial expressions

Think the best bit about this was as King and Cornes started talking the guy incredulously repeating in the background, Sam Draper!

Nah that’s Mark Stevens, I’m embarrassed to know this but I clearly consume too much footy media haha

 

[Plat the Rat]

Jay benefits from being the least worse option out of him and John Ralph.

Glenn McFarlane is the best but he doesn’t have great on air or on screen presence or delivery.

Ahh.....yep, that's right.

Good old Stevo, what's he up to now?

I know he left to be media advisor to the Vic Liberal Party and barely lasted a couple of months in that role.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Hard to believe he's the Huns Chief Football writer! Haven't read the rag in years but surely Gullan or McFarlane were better options. What happened to Michael Warner?

I think he works for Code Sports?

 

[TazD]

He's killed First Crack.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Might be news to Clark, but nobody wants trade/contract s*** rammed down their throat at every turn.

Player has a bad game, it's a bad game. That's it. Doesn't mean they'll be traded or they're out the door, no matter how much he wants it to happen for his p**** of a newspaper.

was just about to post this exact point. he takes as long as andy maher to ask a question

infuriating

he also followed up his sam draper nonsense with soligo & pick 20+ for NWM on sunday

 

[Peters_Nuts]

The great man is at it again. A weekend of great games and his “first crack” is the Jamara contract. Get in the bin.

Kingy and Joey look dead behind the eyes the poor blokes.
