Oh boy, Mark Robinson puts Richmond's loss to Sydney down to the brilliance of Sydney's young players. He puts Port's 37 point loss in the west down to Port's big heads.

Robinson is on the money when he says our loss was down to a non existent mid field and maybe too many tall forwards but big heads? The taint of Victorian bias is always there with Robinson.
Well West Coast won off all their old campaigners smashing us, so he couldn't rave about their youngsters. They're probably bottom 4 for youngsters across the league. No consolation as our regular bullies beat us up as usual whilst still playing.

Yes, there's Victorian bias, but a midfield that just thought it would happen (and a coach who won't change anything whilst it could still matter) is big heads at work.
 
Lol Robbo, I'm surprised he didn't blame our little arms

We clearly read our own press and rocked up thinking it would just happen. From the coaches selecting a 4 tall squad for the very first time in a clutch game down to the players visible efforts, it was all ego. You don't get jumped like that if you're hungry for the contest.

Wow... so now its big headed to pick the 4 tall squad. Which we picked against a side that has regularly been playing large numbers of tall players.
 
I do not think we have big heads I think we were outplayed where it counted.

Well, in the aftermath of the loss our captain did come out and say the group had planned to go 22-0 this season, so there is a fairly decent chance they got ahead of themselves a touch.

Not sure where to put this, but as it relates to digital media I'm putting it here. Not sure how I was cc'd in this twitter exchange but it caught my eye as it was posted by the Crows Digital media strategy guy reposting on twitter a mildly abusive DM he received from someone.

Now you don't have to be Einstein to work out that every media person from every club gets their fair share of abusive retorts on their official social media accounts from idiot opposition fans. But what gets me is why this guy thought it was in any way helpful to repost this particular tweet to his audience. Of course, this one just happens to tar the cross town rivals which is what got my goat.

Surely the smart thing to do is to ignore rather than share?

"better than the 04 side" also springs to mind. Until we actually accomplish something worthwhile, it probably wouldn't hurt those within the club to let the footy do the talking for a sustained period.

Pretty rich given their previous social media team’s policy of trolling Port at every opportunity and then blocking people who return mild fire.

It's Twitter: nothing like a good virtue signal

The Crows twitter admin a few years ago said "Port Adelaide are dead in the SANFL, It's Port Power reserves", and I got blocked for calling them unprofessional.

Be better crows. Be better.

Yeah I was nixed around the same time for similar. Pathetic.

Meh probably fake anyway (or at least there is context we aren't seeing). Most victim-style stories on the internet seem to be fake when you do even a little bit of digging.

You realise that the Adelaide Mail is a satirical website so laughing is the desired response.

Not only is that guernsey mocked up in MS Paint but the "CROMRY" logo may have been a bit of a give away.

What did the club do to Dwayne Russell for him to hate them so much these days... ? His commentary against us , the prison bars bullshit (in some ways supporting Eddie's comments at times ) ,ontop of his comments on SEN today that Robbie Gray deliberately rushed the ball through the behinds "there wasn't enough pressure on him" 🙄😂and that he'd pay a free against him everyday ? Does the guy not know the rules? Maybe it's because he does talk back in Melbourne to whinging Richmond fans and he's desperate to appear impartial? Whatever the reason , it's weird.. it's hard enough listening to brain injured Ricciuto during our games let alone this guy.

Dwayne isn't paid to officiate on field incidents so he can think whatever he likes. He is wrong. No one actually takes him seriously. He's sort of the Richard Wilkins of football.

Bob Byrne, writing in today's Monopoly Times did a feature piece on KG Cunningham. It basically tells the world what a great guy Cunningham is. I may have missed it but the article does not mention the day this icon of the airwaves was booed out of Alberton Oval. I think it is fair to say not every SA football fan thinks Cunningham is God's gift to SA sport.

I cannot find a link to the article as it is not on the Adelaide Now site. Maybe that is just as well.
