He is getting a bit Kane Cornesish. Worsfold's response wounded his ego and takes the points in that exchange for mine.
It is supposed to broaden the debate by having people think from a different perspective.
The fact he referenced Sam Mitchell says everything.Literally the line used by conspiracy theorists to justify their insane tinfoil hat theories.
Basically it's a nonsense excuse Cornes is using to be a douchebag.
Personally, a big part of the reason why I'm going this week, is because I anticipated retirements, or for some, last games wearing the Sash.An interstate farewell game with limited crowds isn’t really a farewell anyway
fairbump_playonThe thing I remember most clearly from that era was Lloyd ironing Sewell and that incident alone shows a ferocity and commitment that is miles above our current list's.
Listen to cornes...
“Maybe it is the tagger in me. You can leave the game, as I did in 2015 after 300 AFL games at Port Adelaide, but perhaps you can’t shake off the role you carried on to the football field to annoy a damaging opponent.
“After four years in the media, I understand much of what I write and say is as polarising and as divisive as the image of a tagger.
“That’s me, my style in a new game where you do need to be distinctive. My commentary is never intended to make people angry or designed to upset them. It is supposed to broaden the debate by having people think from a different perspective.
“I am prepared to make comment on some topics that some others would not touch. Understandably, the consequence of this is significant blowback from aggrieved fans on social media and from certain ‘colleagues’ at rival media outlets.
“It is not pleasant, but it comes with the territory. If you are prepared to dish it out, it is only reasonable that you take the recoil. In the main, 99 per cent of the criticism and vitriol honestly doesn’t bother me. It can be no different than Sam Mitchell trying to get into your head when you are refusing to get off his shadow on the football field."
A once noble art called journalism, penning stories, investigating, informing, the gentle art of pursuasion....has been whittled down to a battle of upset and counter upset, trolling, by exponents who are only used to winning battles with brawn rather than brain
That’s what I yelled
Huh! That's so 2019...Looking forward to seeing the back of this season tbh. Bring on 2021.
Hey guys sorry for the intrusion. Do you think Saad will be good for 15 disposals? Seems like he usually covers that amount fairly well
Can we get back to you Saturday arvo? Maybe about 5pm-ish?
Yeah.Hey guys sorry for the intrusion. Do you think Saad will be good for 15 disposals? Seems like he usually covers that amount fairly well
I believe he was given a few choices to help bring along the new era but wasn't keen on losing top dog status on the ground so pulled the pin early. I may be wrong, but dosent seem a team first ethos.
I think when I think of intelligent succinct worthwhile uppercuts I'll take them from Ross Lyon anyday, they seem to come from a genuine place, and he replies to dialog on his comments in constructive ways, he's also level, he takes into account injuries ECT and often calls for calm. I think Lloyd just comes in off the long run with something he has pre planned, all guns blazing. Like cornes. Perhaps it's the crocmedia mo
This is 100% correct and the reason for the irony in everything Lloyd says.
Look at players like Hodge, Kelly and Burgoyne.
Then compare with a club champion that abandoned his club at the time it needed his leadership probably more than it needed any other single thing. He undermined the coach, who was right, mind you, and played a large role in entrenching the self-obsessed culture of our senior players. Talk about not sacrificing your game...
If Lloyd wasn't so congenitally stupid he would have some self awareness and at least criticise the club in a way that doesn't directly implicate him.
There is a saying about never meeting your idols. The only thing worse than a bad meeting is when said idol has a media job and every word entrenches that disappointment.
I remember reading Lloyd's book thinking "this guy is too stupid to be able to lie". You're spot on about the irony in him potting the culture, but at the same time I think much of what he says about it is true. Takes one to know one?This is 100% correct and the reason for the irony in everything Lloyd says.

Hi Guys is there any chance you guys could beat the dees. I would have thought if your 3 S's Shiel, Smith, Saad play well and supply Daniher with some good looks you be a chance.
I don't think the dees even know what they will dish up week to week, add us Into that mix and this could go either way on a sliding scale of 100 point margin
