NUFC, YES.
It would probably be an improvement, tbh.
When I was a kid I'd be scared/thrilled by hypotheses of the consequences of Port Stanvac going up for whatever reason.

Looking back, I wish it did, as with advance warning I'd have inserted frogcakes into my anus while Robin Roenfeldting me doodle and singing Patsy Biscoe songs as the shockwaves tore the skin from my Pura Milk-deficient skeleton.

Remind me never to come to dinner at your house.:p

If this state ever goes up in a nuclear fireball, so be it.
**** me. Every year the Adelaide media clowns manage to reach new lows. Bullying, hypocritical pissants, the lot of 'em.

If The Advertiser were to cease existing tomorrow, imagine how stuffed Valdman would be. Where else but there would a humourless, muckraking, two-bit cartoonist find employment in this day and age?

Someone respected from the club has to call this rubbish out don't they? Surely.
This is the biggest over-reaction and victimisation, character assassination campaign since the Thomas Jonas Affair.

tribey, why don't you send in one of your famous rants to the Australian and Age, entitled
"Hypocrisy, the ingredient that makes Fruchocs in Fruchopia blissfully Fruity"?

When do Vladman or these gutter rags become accountable for bullying and destroying a life? I'm guessing their scum criers readership are buying this trash in droves. In the end it seems that's all that matters to them. Destroy someone totally, especially an indigenous lad to whom shame is experienced on a whole other level to the rest of the population.
If only the club could sue them.
Elbows said the media is hounding Port because they aren't giving out enough info. Both Jars and KT fronted the media within 24 hours, then the punishment was sorted within another 24. It takes other clubs weeks to take action, whatever token action they take.. I wish our club would give them nothing. there's no point, they twist it anyway. Compared to this trial by media, the actions of the two Freo lads (glassing and king hit? assault)should make world news for months, but ya bet they won't. One has to wonder if the fact this occurred at Neverwood instead of say, Davoren park, has some bearing on the reaction too, plus the potential China deal success (any opportunity to put that on shaky ground)

You know what, I'd probably find that mildly amusing if they'd drawn that up on Monday and hadn't spent the last 5 days flogging a story worthy of a couple of articles and a token Graham Cornes "....... and this is why players shouldn't drink, also Port ruin everything" meltdown.

Con Makris has the right idea, he is leaving.
Despite the News Limited headline he's not actually leaving SA at all. He is opening another office in Queensland to support his push into Queensland developments. He will still be living at Glenelg and will still have an office in Adelaide.

I haven't listened to the radio since the Goon Show.
Until a couple of years ago ABC RN used to play the Goon Show before the weekday 6:00am news. I used to listen to it on the wireless. :)

Frankly I'm a little disappointed there's no mention of the tunnel between colonnades and Noarlunga station in this story.

I have expressed my disgust at this witch hunt to their feedback email (for as much good as it will do)

I would advise anyone who cannot stand to see a young man publicly vilified in this way to do the same,

tiser@theadvertiser.com.au

Let the rabid scum know what dickheads they are,

We need a general template we can send in to that email, like we did for the 5AA 'poofter'-gate.
Also shouldn't their be a governing body like the ACCC (but obviously not them) we could report them too?

Hopefully this overreaction by the cowvertiser will inspire the club to, as Ted Whitten once said, "stick it right up them". Worked for Essendon and Jobe Watson when he admitted to supplements use, was widely booed at Subiaco and Essendon came back from a large half-time deficit to win.
