Jack just trolled Karen Cornes a beauty. Tweeted Karen’s article from 2016 when he said trading pick 6 for Prestia would be a mistake! Take that Karen u whinny little biatch.
Was probably the point where Karen decided that saying stupid provocative things was the way forward for career

Pretty funny watching that Round So Far on the AFL site. ...
I get that Kane Cornes trolls Richmond supporters to get the clicks. ..

He's taken it to a new low this time around. ... he's trolling Leigh Matthews.
Reckons Jamie Elliott played like him yesterday ..... gee Lethal will be rapt!

I’m not one to find a positive in the footy media however , really like Hamish as a commentator , always seems composed and positive and is a rare not over talker

Reckon old mate Romping Wins is a plastic, private school prefect myself. The segment where he interviews the kids is more about him than the kids.

McDonald should in no way be regarded as an AA this year. Picked as a forward and is 17th on the list for goals kicked.

Most of us would say Jack would probably not be in the squad but not far off and he has scored the 5th most goals which is 10 more (50% more) than McDonald.

I agree with the others and I'd probably include Langdon in there. He's potentially the best wingman in the game along with McCluggage.
With McDonald it's all about the story...shopped around, ignored, playing well now.... But not best 22 in league.

Hows the Sunday footy show just showing the missed frees that should be paid aginast Aarts and Grimes, yet no mention of the blatant throw in front of umpire that lead to Stringers goal in the 3rd.
I LOVE IT HOW THEY ALL HATE US!

There was another one when they were kicking to the right (I think the 2nd quarter) where there was a blatant throw by Guelfi on the wing, followed by probably a HTB against Cotch. Guess which one Richo spoke about.

The Aarts one was a nailed on HTB and should have been given but it didn't hurt them.

The Grimes one by the letter of the law was not a free kick as he attempted to dispose of it without any prior. Mentioned this in the game day thread too, an example of the media not even knowing the rules. He didn't drop the ball, he dropped it towards his kick but the tackle forced him to miss the ball with the kick. Now maybe we all think that that type of thing should be HTB but by the letter of the law it was not.

Well yes, to a degree.
But he talks a lot of private school dribble at times, often about someone's grandmother or pet tortoise, that is just irrelevant to the game situation.
He is harmless but cringeworthy sometimes.
It really is pathetic how very very poor our Australian football commentators are. I wish we had someone who wIas articulate, knowledgeable , calm and relevant.
In cricket, Mike Atherton is one. ..yes I know he is a pom

Funny you say that, I was listening via the phone , an NHL game the other month, 1 commentato, 1 special comments , incredible considering the size of the rink and the speed the game goes at , it was easy to know where the puck was. Agree the football commentators don’t paint a great picture of the game, definitely need some Richie Benaud education

It's great how every win is cast as a negative, and every loss is trouble. Last week it was the problem caused by CJ's form and we'd have to trade Jack. This week it's the players who'll be squeezed out by Bolton's salary demands. Last year he apparently wasn't good enough for the 22-under-22 side; now he's being touted as the best u23 player in the country. Robbo still banging on about the nightclub incident, the sorry drunkard.

Sad state of affairs when you're ignoring AFL media coverage because you know they're going to cast your club in a bad light.

yes horrible lineup of commentators in our game.

Anthony Hudson the clear pick for leysy. Knows his craft and has the ability to elevate a key moment.

Can't stand Whateley's opinions, but his actual calling of games is OK and a good combo with Hudson.

Far above the Darcy, BT we get on TV

Nick Riewoldt comfortably best special comments. Speaks sense but what you expect from a Tasmanian. Taz, Leysy and Redford cases in point.

Funny about that. ... they showed about 10 of them on Fox Footy lastnight and I think 7 should have been awarded to us!
