A little crispy one Garry - The footy media thread

Bang😂

Agree with everything Lloyd said. Hawks thought they could just walk him out so a good faith deal was never going to happen. Merrett needs to demand better training standards and players need to tell him how they feel and captaincy is out of the question. And most of all, we have to build a better club.

Merrett’s frustration and despondency was clearly on display during the year. We all saw his face and body language after a couple of poor team performances as he was walking off the ground. Doubtless behind closed doors there were some conversations led by him with team mates. Not sure how this current situation would impact me as a team mate, sufficient to say it’ll be fraught. Tough times ahead for our club as the media and rival clubs capitalise on it.

well after a loss how would you expect him to look

Looks like channel 9 has lost more on air talent for afl, Tom Morris is heading to 7 after being poached by Chris Jones(head of sport at 7) and Craig Hutchinson.

Wonder who takes over from Footy Furnace as host maybe Hird or Bartel

Do people still watch commercial TV? :open_mouth:

It’s weird seeing “Tom Morris” and “talent” in the same sentence without the qualifying “lack of”.

I watch the news up until about the 3rd stabbing/bashing/home invasion/car jacking story of the day, that’s about it really.

Even weirder without seeing “MAGA supporter”, “outer of gay female colleagues” and “rampant cockwit” used…

Anyone on twitter see if @zzsams is still operating. I’m sure it’s a Morris burner account but when I questioned him he blocked me.

So, apparently Tommy has a non-compete clause in his contract with 9. The move to 7 may not be that simple.

Tommy finds contract obligations very annoying.

Does anyone actually go “■■■■ I wonder what tom Morris thinks about this footy story” and go out of their way to find out?

Just feel like the notion of paying overs to headhunt a scum media flog head in this day and age to be utterly insane.

They should be paying someone like Gorringe the big bucks. Hell generate genuine traffic and revenue.
