Elbows whingefest about Port players in China, not a great look, kissing babies and playing ping pong.
Haven't heard what he said, and I know that there's the growing of the game over there, and it only being a week, but I'd prefer our whole squad to be training together this preseason given the importance of our season.

Yeah, his comments weren't a big deal. Knew it'd get a mention here though.

There are plenty of players that celebrate goals in a similar way to Betts. While Eddie's goal celebrations tend to be very much "look at me", if he has just kicked a great goal then why not.

Despite the SA media's over hyping of everything Eddie Betts I agree with Power Girl that Eddie is actually humble. If you can't see that because he plays for the Crers then fair enough.
Yep: if Betts had come to Port, we'd love his celebrations. Of course the media wouldn't have worshipped him quite as much......

Caught a glimpse of Wrinkles article in this mornings paper and he blames the AFL for the lack of recruiting of SA juniors.

FFS didn't he ask Port Adelaide to stop blaming others for their issues? #SANFOOLS
Father and son on AA this am were pissed off at Port taking Brett Eddy as a rookie. Said we are abusing the rookie list and that young ones deserve chance, not Eddy. Also said he is being ripped off by being paid a pittance and having to give up his broker job. Younger Cornes said what the criers have done by taking young Jarman is perfect as he can quietly go about his #organicgrowth as a rookie.

Did Eddy nominate himself for the draft? Seems a smart cookie by having a brokering background, would understand risk/reward pretty evenly I'd guess. Kane's being a dickhead here if he's inferring we're exploiting him.

Did the Eagles rookieing a 300 year old Petrie dish get a mention?

Yeah, his 'conspiracy against SA' argument doesn't really explain why Port and the Crows, with 9 picks between them, picked 0 SA lads.

Betts is an enourmous figjam on the field, and his celebrations deliberately antagonise opposition supporters. I've never seen Chad do that. He's probably also already put his head over the ball more times than Eddie.

Betts is as amazing player, but he is fortunate to be playing for a side that still uses 1980s inflexible structure. Not many things irk me as much as the Chad - Eddie comparisons.

Good guy off the field though, agreed.

Yeah, we should be building kindergartens in Fiji. No ulterior motive there.
All football clubs have ulterior motives with their community and charity arms. No point throwing stones from a glass house, unless you are keeping it to the media portrayal and nothing more.

Yeah Betts is a very good footballer in a rich vein of form. Credit where it is due. If he's given some cash and or time to some Kindy in Fiji, good on him and we'll done. You don't really want to come off like that hideous mole subaru or the Perpetually confused Geoffa who spend their entire time shit canning everything the opposition does.

There is a bit of truth to what Cornes says given the 18 clubs have to contribute around $600,000 each to run the TAC U/18 comp and they all employ a lot of specialists to make sure these kids are prepared for the draft at seasons end or next season if you have an U/17 kid playing. Of course he can't help go on about conspiracy theories but the U/18 comps in states outside the TAC cup can't really compete with that sort of production line given the available resources.

What are their 12 - 14 TAC Cup clubs? So that means about $1m a year each. $1mil a year is what it costs to run the Magpies and some junior programs. Give Port $1m to run an U/18 team and I reckon we could produce 4 to 6 draftees each year.

Ugh, Subaru. That horrid human should be locked up.
