It is possible that he didn't actually know that he looks into the sky to acknowledge his Dad, you know. I didn't know that before it was posted on here yesterday, and I doubt half the people jumping on the bandwagon knew it either.
Entirely possible. Graham Cornes didn't even know Travis's father had passed away and in one of his early interviews on 5AA proceeded to ask him questions like "How are your parents handling your move away from home?", and "I bet your dad's feeling really proud of you at the moment. Does he play a bit of footy himself? Is he a bit of a legend in the Torquay area?". I remember cringing until I could cringe no more and had to turn the radio off. What a train wreck.

In any case I'd argue that it's pretty poor if Roo didn't know given that it was such a huge point when Boak was weighing up whether to move to Geelong and as a commentator and sports radio host, it's his job to be well researched when discussing players and Trav's father passing isn't exactly state secret

These are strange days indeed.
Carlton coach changes his strategy 15 minutes before the game because of a radio interview!!!
Crows coach regularly converse's with fans regarding tactics!!!

Did I hear correct ? Did the commentator who is a cows board member say Port are kicking 38% effective?
According to AFL stats it's 72%
Does he just make these things up
That was during one period of the game when our kicking was shit.

It doesn't matter if it was a huge point in the public domain or not.
As reporters and media personalities they should be doing their research on who they are interviewing before they interview them.
As many have said before, these south australian media hacks would struggle to get a job and hold it interstate.

They keep making these "mistakes" with Port players because of their hate for the club.
They simply don't give a shit. If it was up to them they wouldn't bother with Port except for throwing mud at the club when we lose a game or something doesn't go as expected.
If it was a Crows player, even their shittiest player, you can bet your life savings that these mongrel dogs in the media would know every little fact, especially that the blokes father has passed away. But Port's captain...nah, who gives a shit.

riccuito is an ambassador of the crowies first and foremost followed by being a publican an ex-footy player and some other annoying stuff.
it was shit having Roo and Eddie commenting our game. I honestly just don't get it. OK the Vics hate us but Roo has even more reason to dig the boot in to satisfy his own aims.

So I've been made into a few memes lately, as you are all aware.
I am happy to cop the crap since we suck at the moment. But if personal shots are taken at me, I will defend myself.
Such as here...

Feel free to chime in, if you wanna back a brother up (but I think I handled things OK, without being too hypocritical)...

F*** em Chocky, nothing wrong about being a proud Port supporter. Your not abusive or in anyone's face so if they want to insult you it says a lot about their sad pathetic lives. When AFL brings out that in people they're simply too immature to enjoy sport for what it is.

Don't go changing on us Chock:thumbsu:
