Slow news day ... MMM breakfast today ... #3 story 'crows will train today'

 

[Ford Fairlane]

The harshest articles Rucci has ever written about any side was Port Adelaide after going out in the finals 2002, 2003. Nothing will get close to this.

He fired a few torpedoes into Mark Williams last year too, altho they seem to be past that now.

 

[FlyingCrow]

Surely the Crows are paying for this sort of coverage. I'm not being funny but they are practically advertorials.

It sells the paper. A puff piece on the Crows gets people buying the paper, or at least talking about it, like this thread.

Most of Rucci's articles are just spin (negative or positive) to sell papers. There is not much real football journalism in this state. As there is no competition amongst print media. If enough people stopped buying it and not clicked on the website, things might change.

Your efforts to get a sponsorship tells a story of where the PAFC sit in the corporate/free market world.

Always the first Crow to put his hand on his hips and bow his head when getting beaten.

Smart was the biggest sooky la la I have ever seen and was incredibly overated.

oh for ****s sake.. this is getting beyond the joke now

any crow supporting w***er who says that the advertiser is the powertiser or biased towards Port are blind! (eg birdmanptr)

this week has been a week of constant stroking the crows genitalia... if they stroke it anymore.. well.. in Scotty famous words.. "shes gonna blow captain"

 

[PortBrillance]

if they stopped giving away 10k tickets, the Crows would only get 28k to the game. What a total joke this is, you'd think they were in the GF

 

[Enviable Tradition]

It has actually gotten to the point where it looks desperate.

I wouldnt be surprised if it actually has the opposite effect and starts discouraging rather than encouraging people. It is like a daily reminder that the crows are going shit.

It kinda annoyed me the first few days but now I am starting to enjoy it. Though of course I dont read the article, lol.

Actually think it would be a good pisstake if Rucci dressed up in Crows gear and implored their fans to turn up.

It emphasizes to me how the local media *knows* the crows supporters are nothing more than sheep. Before the season they were the all conquering and top 4 guaranteed and the sheep flocked to drink the kool-aid, now they are a complete disaster the craptiser know the masses will lap up whatever spin they put out.

It's not actually having the Crows on the front page that sells newspapers. I'm sure people don't go to the Deli, Servo or walk past a news stand, see Nigel Smart and suddenly feel compelled to buy the Advertiser. What is important is that the Crows are successful, which leads to people maintaining an interest, which leads to people wanting to read about them which leads to people buying the newspaper. This why the Advertiser is trying to promote the crap out of them and possibly help them over the line. Maintaining interest is what sells newspapers.

 

[PowerKat]

lol- it's getting beyond a joke

 

[Macca19]

They didnt get this much press when they won back to back.

Personally I find it pretty sad. Any Crow fan on here calling it the Powertiser has rocks in their head. Youd never ever see us get this amount of positive press to show up to games...especially not at 0-3.

 

[Spadge]

in reflection im glad we dont get this kind of coverage in the advertiser

its pathetic journalism... really sad, desperate and pathetic
it also paints crows supporters as really fickle.. that they have to repeatedly "implore" crow supporters to back their team

id be embarrased if this kind of garbage was happening to us

ahhh remember the "19th man rules" hahahaha they we're telling their fans how to cheer.

"After a goal, clap and chant 'Adelaide'"
but my favourite is;
"When an opposition player is lining up for goal, make noise. Try and put him off so he misses" "You get points on the big screen every time an opposition player misses coz you're so special!"

pathetic

Thought he was quite good as the piano player in that impotence add.

The ironic thing is that you guys are drawing attention to these puff pieces. Including a link. The Craptiser will then look at the hits and say Crows puff pieces are popular and will put another one in tomorrow.

Humphrey B Bear and Fat Cat tomorrow???

 

[PortBrillance]

haha humphrey, what a champ

 

[tribey]

The ironic thing is that you guys are drawing attention to these puff pieces.

Nah, the ironic thing is we paid to have an advertisement thanking our fans for being who they are as a result of Eddie's random attack while you've got days of free advertising imploring your fans to rock up in lieu of some unexpectedly shit results.

Geoffrey, you backed the wrong horse.
