Yep, easily one of the best going around.

Especially last Saturday when he was barracking for Richmond the whole game. I don't mind Eddie though.
So you've seen everything have you?
Yep
Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?
No
Well you haven't seen everything then have you.

Correct. Or country people leaving early. Or people that just don't like crowds. Or people that couldn't be naffed. Whatever.

I like Roo, I really do. Met him quite a few times.

But he shouldn't be commentating Port games.

I love Eddie! Hes an excellent commentator. But...

He probably should stick to commentating interstate games IMO.

More people left the Collingwood game early on Sunday than the St Kilda one IMO.

It is #fakenews. It really is. Lead by the king of pretending he's not but really is viciously anti-Port Mark Ricciuto.


Was it fake footage of the Port fans streaming for the train station? Yes other clubs supporters do it, sorry....ALL clubs supporters do it...but it's not fake news.
You Port people need to actually get over your hatred of Ricciuto.
It is #fakenews. Riccituo very clearly said "Port fans are leaving in droves! They're filthy!" Which was then followed up with a shot of maybe a dozen fans making their way to the gates. Nothing abnormal at all, happens every game, win lose or draw, from every club.

The message was very clear that Port fans left because they thought we were going to lose ... that initiated about a weeks worth of media cycles lambasting Port fans on social networks and radio/TV spots. Everyone believed it.

It' the epitome of #fakenews.

I don't hate Roo at all. Quite like him in fact. But lets call a spade a spade - he's as anti-Port as anyone but has to try and hide it for his media career.


The important thing is that you've moved on LOL.

regards,

REB
