On a lighter note it was good to see a picture of Ben Jacobs training with Port yesterday in a photo accompanying an article about Port working to keep Ben here. Well if Cam O'Shea was Ben Jacobs it would have been an apt photo ...
And jesper the friendly ghost. Could not even talk up our trade week.

Passable, but not remarkable....... But what would I know Jesper is paid good money to know what's happening in the footy world even if he has no idea what the hell they look like.

The Crows board Tippett thread where Crow fans are saying Wrinkles is spot on are priceless.

The media is setting them up perfectly for many more outraged media coverage when they dont just get a slap on the wrist.
The Australian has them up to $300K in out-of-contract payments and losing picks in the next two drafts. They will be incandescent with rage.

Cue Wrinkles' follow up article about Victorian bias.

You know it makes sense.

Carrying on that Port and Melbourne were the big losers from the Free Agency/Trade period and the general argument rich clubs getting bigger small clubs get smaller wawa and then ruined it by saying how the cows got nothing for Knights was such a joke. blah blah blah.
To Dillon's credit he asks Hutchy don't you think Port's done well rejuvinating their list, hutchy panics and says yeah well I love the way Port go about it blah blah

So he wasn't really having a go at us, but was more using us to have a go at Free Agency?

I like the way Grandpa Cornes says that the Cows should be let off over salary cap rorting as they have never been caught before and besides Tippex forced them to do it. Maybe the Advertiser could follow up Wrinkles' article vilifying Tippex with a poster of a dart board with Tippex's face on it in Monday's edition ............................. oh wait. :eek:

To be fair Ford it does say "Tall Ben Jacobs" is in the photo not the "real" Ben Jacobs. As Jacobs is listed at 185 cm and O'Shea at 197 cm O'Shea may very well be "Tall Ben Jacobs".

I didn't know Ben Jacobs had a half sleeve?
He was mistakenly identified as Cam O'Shea in yesterday's paper. :rolleyes:

Well, I guess now Chaplin is gone they need to find more of our players to chronically confuse.

On the Chaplin/Carlile mistaken photos, I wonder if Richmond were surprised when it was Chaplin who rocked up to training

I loved Rucci today when They asked what if this was port Adelaide.
A caller to triple mmm rang and really took kg to task about if it was port. He yibbered and yabbered his way trying to deny it while the caller is saying "you ALWAYS put the boot into port" and the whole time in the background jars is saying "yeah you do kg, you do mate, you gotta admit you do that etc etc"

Jars was very fair on the radio yesterday and kg was a whiny old windbag campaigner as usual

There are no other teams
You should have heard KG earlier in the week on MMM. He rang in to defend the whole Tippett saga- well, everyone except Tippett- and Dittmar and Jarman opened up on him. They said he was wrong blah, blah, blah because he was still refusing to say Adelaide had done anything wrong. Towards the end of the conversation I'm sure KG sounded like he was fighting back tears.

Jarman has, surprisingly, been pretty honest about how Adelaide have well and truly screwed up.

Jars called for Trigg's resignation on the MMM on Friday, which took me by complete surprise. Seconds after making that statement kg calls in, and starts defending Trigg's honour; reid's as well. He was getting emotional because Jars wasn't backing down, and at one point I thought kg was going to start crying.

At least not all parts of the media are blindly defending Trigg.
