A good read Tas. At least rooch defends SA football on the national stage, just like he defends Port on the local stage.

I think the "Your Shout!" section should be a good read next week.

Rucci calls for McAvaney to reach the Hall of Fame. McAvaney? ... Hall of Fame? ... oh, puh-leeeeeeeease! That would be a case of armageddon coming - he would be totally undeserving of that honour.

From the modern day media, Dennis Commetti would have a much better chance than him because of his greater input into the game wholistically. He played in the WAFL, made his famous move to the Footscray Reserves when he shifted to Melbourne as a disc jockey and then returned to a job at the ABC in Perth and later coached the West Perth senior side. Either side of his WP job, he has worked with the ABC, Channel 7 and 9 in sport (primarily Aussie Rules) and has become a much-loved figure ... saying much more than the odd "speeeeee-cial".

BW - Wasn't have a go at the Dominator because I know he was a great footballer, just trying to show the flaws in Jespar's article like everyone else.

I am aware of that - no hard feelings :wink:

Pseudo - the alternative is to just stand in the newsagent or milk bar and read the article, don't buy it! :lol:

Full article: http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,22129972-21546,00.html

BTW KG is a long last behind those august names and behind G Phillips too, IMO


I don't know about a long way... KG umpired in the days when there was one central umpire and has been a constant in the media since he hung up his whistle, with his 5:30 "KG's Footy Show" being compulsory viewing when I was a kid. He can be a peanut sometimes, but generally is pretty correct in what he says. His passion for footy is unquestionable, and while he often gets criticised for not paying the SANFL too much attention, you can't really expect him to when he is paid by 5AA and Ch 9 (?) who don't give it much coverage themselves.

He would be a worthy HoF'er in my view.

And he is humble too...

It was once suggested to KG that the new stands at Adelaide Oval should be named after him.

"W-w-w-w-here did you hear that? Why the f*** would they want to name a stand after me?"

But surely stands named after him and maybe Eric Freeman would be better than "The Chappell Stands"

Apart from the stuff about the stands - I agree with everything you've said about KG Fatal.

He's a knob - but his heart's in SA footy and has been for over 50 years.

Yeah having met his once he is pretty humbe far different to what you encounter on the radio.

Maybe my choice of words was poor, "a long way behind" but I still maintain he is not as worthy as the players mentioned by Rucci.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

No doubt he had a hand in it seeing as he is higher ranking as the Cheif Football writer

Jesper is a common Scandinavian name. Judging by the surname he is of Norwegian extraction...

Perhaps he should stick to what he knows best. Pickled herring and fjords.

Have met Jesper tried to talk sensibly with him about footy he is clueless about all aspects of the game absolutely no idea. In short dont get upset by a fool with no real grip on the game.

It is disappointing that good aussie rules people like Zac Millbank or Doug Robertson get overlooked in favour of "syndicate" journos like Jesper.

And isn't the 'Tiser chief sports editor a Kiwi?

agree.

Although I would like to see rooch keep writing absolute crap about the crows as this just keeps the supporters (and not just crow supporters) very anti port power.
