News Media Thread, 2024: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

[Lia]

That is a very contrived name.

Let's hope the respective commentary teams get their practice in with this one prior to calling the games...

I have to keep telling myself "dont read the replys" "dont read the replys"

 

[ziad]

Yeah all good to have a crack at a bloke 7 games into the AFL and criticise his fitness level, so wrong that HR isn't at the same level of a player 2 or 3 seasons in....

well he waited until he. turned 19 (by a few days), I remain media free.

No doubt this has been posted already but the young fella speaks so well so thought I'd stick it on for those who didn't see it.

Replies not as bad as expected... yet

Backchat stealing my thunder too!

Backchat stealing my thunder too!

More the merrier. The message needs to spread far and wide, although that is probably Cornes plan from the outset.

Noticed one of our own posters comment over there poopooing it.

You could probably guess who it was if you had two or three goes.

 

[JackOutback]

That is a very contrived name.

In the sense that it has contrived to use Aboriginal words for Eagles and West, then yes, I guess so.

Ginbey absolutely dead batting the brockman question is elite

[JackOutback]

Someone like Ginbey shouldn't be expected to answer questions about Brockman, he's just a kid himself. That's for the coach or maybe a senior player.

I’d hope that someone from the clubs media department briefed him on what to say knowing the question would come

Regardless, he handled it well

Journalists regularly hit the young kids with questions far beyond their pay grade. It's disappointing but pretty common.

The Back-Peddle begins.

Can’t decide if that’s more or less annoying than the Sam McClure McDouble-Down.

Not a fan if either, but McClure has that smugness about him.

Yeah not sure I can listen to Schoey for that long just to hear Knights thoughts.

Did he mention or elude to the fact that he used to be a backman when he played footy?

 

[Grahame]

More like, how many times did he mention it? Didn’t mind it at first but now just … boooring!

They're both bottom feeders

No doubt

From a media perspective they probably view it as good experience for a player they see as future leadership material
