Moved Thread Just heard this on Channel 7 news shorts

"Port Adelaide started their new season with a 79 point thrashing of Melbourne under new Chairman David Koch."

I mean really?

Kochie did it?

I find that incredibly insulting to the Port players and coach. It takes the cross promotion crap TV stations go on with to unheard of levels.

 

[Shane Hird]

It's just not kosher.

 

[Smeg Head]

Its Channel 7, the utter lowest of the low, are you really surprised?

If you find that incredibly insulting I hope you don't stay up after 8:30. That M rating would destroy you!

 

[RuFiO]

I find it insulting that you watch channel 7. (Unless it's for the footy)

 

[Underdog]

Well, he is the leader of the club. Additionally, his involvement makes it more relevant to the media so I hardly think PA care.

 

[Gough]

Kochie could have played at CHF today man, and Port still would have won by ten goals.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Shouldn't take the media to heart, they say a lot of idiotic things from time to time. I'm sure Port flat out don't care although it's a bit strange not to mention the coach.

 

[rickyp]

Port have scheduled an emergency press conference to address the issue. It is rumoured that they will not be playing the remainder of the season until an apology is issued.

 

[David Schwarz]

Isn't Port's coach that NZ bloke Ricky Herbert?

Terrible reporting from channel 7

You've only just worked out that commercial tv channels shamelessly self-promote at every possible opportunity?

Dunno I agree. To a considerable degree, they're in the business of saying things, as opposed to the business of doing things. They could at least take care to not say too many stupid things.

Sunrise over Port Adelaide

Sunrise over Port Adelaide

Someone should get the brains trust at Alberton to turn it into a moniker, quality

It was only Melbourne.... Nobody should receive accolades for whipping da deez.

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Kochie is the man!

Funny yes , but he is a man of money and influence . He has promised all those players brilliant superannuation and retirement advice if they keep winning. But remember if they have a bad one next week , well he may turn his financial advice to the Melbourne boys who may be all close to retirement.
Seriously what do Melbourne need. They surely can't go on being the low lying club that never improves . I don't want to bag the boss, but should Melbourne have gone hell bent for leather after a hard nosed accomplished coach and paid the money.
Maybe Neelds is OK , but if he's only OK, whats going on there? Or is the list crap? Its too long in the doldrums.
And here they go again. C'mon Dees!

Did they follow it with ...you can find him on 7's sunrise Monday to friday from 6.30am"

I find that cross promotion insulting as well, how many times have I seen cross promotion of a new tv series disguised as a news story on today tonight? It's freaking shameless and annoying.

Probably could have snagged a couple goals himself against the Melbourne defence.

 

[Stewies Power]

If that was on Channel 7 Sydney I wouldn't be surprised for a second.
