Sick of Rucci

[Barto]

he should go out and spend a week or 2 with the various SANFL clubs to see how hard they work with the limited amount of money they get paid and then should put in a article in the tiser so they can get more money from the awful to help the harder workers.

Research instead of diatribe. Not our Rooch? Never!

[Barto]

Now that West Coast are looking the goods again, they may calm down a bit. Freo are so injury riddled that they had 25 players to choose from on the weekend, so effectively they would be affecting an entire comp for the perceived benefit of three players. One of whom is Byron the Clanger King Schammer... perhaps it's Claremont behind this trying to get him out of their side and stop him coughing up games.

Screw you Rooch! I'm utterly convinced that he's one of the nuffies on Big Footy whining about the SANFL being a leech on them when in reality we've got entire footy clubs being handed less money than a hack like Justin Westhoff earns on his own.

Have Freo suggested where they would get the other 19 players to make up their Reserves side if they had to field one on the weekend? The same issue would arise here. Teams like Collingwood top up their VFL side with players from outside the VFL comp (amateurs etc.), would Adelaide and Port be happy doing that or are they thinking they would just raid SANFL clubs? The latter would be a farce and unacceptable to most SANFL people I'd have thought.

I dont think Freo are that keen to be honest, it's never really been an agenda. Wouldn't surprise me if they're still remembering the days when they had less money than Port and a dedicate reserves team would be an unnecessary cost when there are WAFL clubs willing the play AFL blokes who dont get a run. Freo are just being dragged along with West Coast and if they Eagles get it, then the Dockers will probably have to fall into line.

It could see the ridiculous situation of having three Fremantle based teams in the comp, if a proposed model of an 11 team comp ends up being what happens.

Rucci's job is to sell papers, not to make intelligent balanced articles. And sadly it works. How many people talk about what he's written, and how many people buy the paper just to read what nonsense he's on about today?

Like politicians, journalists are a creation of what appeals to the masses.

Obviously works by the amount of deserved crap he gets dished up in here

I wish his job was selling papers, instead of writing for them.

didnt like how cornesy described you as i think thats not on.

But i can see where he is coming from in regards to what you yelled when young bradley went down with a season ending injury.Injured players are not fair game and if my boy was the subject concerned (i.e.Bradley) i would have come down and had words with you. Maybe you thought it was funny but i bet even some of your own supporters thought it wasnt.
Ask yourself.What if it was your boy,or lets say Barrie Robran when he went down after Matthews got him in that state game. How would you react?
GOOD footy supporters actually clap off an injured player whether he's on your side or not.

Do we want to go down the E.P.L. road and have all in brawls at the footy because of dumb comments like that? NO.

Wedgie made a flippant comment at the time of the incident and no-one knew (including Cornes) that the young man had broken his ankleat that time. It looked on first impression he had been badly crucnhed and winded with possible rib damage and he certainly didn't lay there writhing in pain clutching his leg. Had it been that obvious then Wedgie would not have yelled out what he did.

Cornes is pathetic if he has to resort to writing about that after mentioing on his radio show but choose to not report how Chad's mates followed him over looking for a fight! Talk about hypocrtical!

well shock horror,OTR and WLF didnt answer my questions.SANFL doesnt need supporters like you,but i guess when something like this happens to your sons i suppose i'll see you on the news being arrested/ejected from the game.

[The Sleeping Giant]

tigerpie, you don't know what your talking about. Obviously a "johnny come lately" to the SANFL. Bit like Cornesy is to the SANFL outer.

If only you knew.hahahaha.Still havent answered my question have you.Because you dont have a civil answer.Theres NO excuse for sledging an injured player and you know it!!!

[on the rails]

Well shock horror,OTR and WTF didnt answer my questions.SANFL doesnt need supporters like you,but i guess when something like this happens to your sons i suppose i'll see you on the news being arrested/ejected from the game.

First off - Bradley was not Cornes son so why would Graham come over other than to use his "profile" and try and start something over a flippant comment as I said and secodnly - you don't know what sort of football supporter I am so keep you personal opinions to yourself.

Also strange no one saw your legs hanging out of Graham's arse when he came over to confront Wedgie as it appears you were present to hear and witness all on that day?

Lastly to quote you, "GOOD football supporters" would know how to spell Barrie Robran's name correctly so we know you fall into the ignorant category.

yes o.t.r. my solemn apologies for my spelling error. i'm no robinson crusoe on that front am i (look above).
and you still wont answer my question will you?

And if you actually read my previous quote that i dont condone grahams description of wedgies appearance,your "grahams arse" quote would be irrelevent.

[Mr Fuller]

Rucci is pathetic

His argument has so many holes in it I don't know where to start.

Having the reserves teams in the SANFL is purely a self-serving agenda with the aim solely to benefit the AFL sides. It would do nothing for the SANFL.

If the SANFL decide to relinquish their AFL licences then the clubs would really have no tie to the AFL teams. So what possible purpose would it serve having them in the competition?

And as for Rucci - how about you show some guts and publish the views of some of the other coaches who oppose the concept of AFL reserves team instead of Fuller who is on your payroll

Well that aint working, obviously I'm not buying one and his crap is splashed across the internet anyway. Has the Tiser still got a readership? Weird.

Sounds like a check and a mate right there.

[Mark_Beswick]

The only hope power and crows have is the SANFL coaches because the ones leading the AFL clubs aren't up to it. Reserves sides for these clubs would only hamper them further

The sports section isnt the mainstay of the Advertiser

If they ever did away with the crosswords no one would bother buying a paper

True enough, but like pollies they have the power to set the agenda which is just scary

[HOORAY PUNT]

Rucci loves people commentating as it puts the ill informed , pathetic excuse for a writer in the spotlight . It's easy and everyone on here should do it.Ring the Tiser and say you no longer buy the paper because of him.I don't buy it as the guy makes me cringe , he is quite pathetic and yes I told the Tiser the same. Only way it'll change.

i agree with this & i stopped getting the advertiser home delivery but didn't tell them why (even jack cahill labelled him as ferrett head or something like that , iirc ).....however if we put it in perspective he is better than ashley porter ever was

tigerpie, We were singing "Bring out the meat wagon" and similar ditties 35 years ago, it's not a new thing & it's not a big deal. It's also water off the player's backs.
