A little crispy one Garry - The footy media thread

They turnover over $250m USD a year. Eddie doesn’t have that much pull.

They wouldn’t even know who Eddie is.

Don’t tell Eddie that.

100%. I have lots of friends here in the US that played college sport and/or who’s families are donars with facilities named after them etc. He would have absolutely helped his kid get into that program.

Give the kid some credit. He could have easily got into a number of industries over here and got a leg up but didn’t. The idea that Eddie has any pull in an American college football setup is ridiculous.

All college kids parents are expected to Boosters if they are international students.

It wouldn’t, and there’s a lot of scouts/programs recruiting park footy players over here to punt/kick.

Dusty snubs the media for his whole career and then Fox give him a commentary gig.

Wonder if he realises he has to talk.

No-one’s under any illusions that the AwFuL media landscape is anything but one big human centipede, are they?

I’m hoping Dustin Martin says no more than five words per game. Take their money and laugh in their face.

I actually admire Dusty for the way he’s conducted himself as a footballer. Gun player, fair player, respected his opponents, not a ■■■■ and kept himself distant from all the hoo haa that is the AFL media circus.

Cornes is a muppet, answered his own question.

even though we haven’t won a final in 20 years, we’re still funding the tin rattling tarp covering ■■■■ ant clubs like yours Corn. Faccia di brutto just like the vecchio uomo

The first and last shows are the epitome of everything wrong about footy media at the moment. It’s just the way TV and social media is heading unfortunately. You just know all they’ll be doing is making clickbaity calls, getting into fake arguments with people, talking about random twitter ■■■■, all of which will then be posted on twitter/ insta, and then be spoken about again in the next episode, etc etc etc.

Really just makes you want to tune out from it all together.

Can’t remember where I saw it but I thought our crowds were amongst the highest this year?
Still filling the coffers even in a disappointing season. Imagine how many $$$ we would be contributing if we ever got our mojo back!

Thank heavens Seven is answering the public demand for more Kane Cornes.

Is there anyone more uninspiring than Nick Reiwald? I guess he has served his pennance and needs a job back in the boys club
