After this weekend, you wouldn't think they'd be feeling too arrogant, over in Adelaide. But seems they can't help themselves. Just received this email from a 'mate' in Adelaide (don't you hate opening your emails on Mondays after we've lost??):

http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0...6-12428,00.html

And there is a great picture to go with it, but I can't get it electronically

It's a most offensive little article, by Graham Cornes of all people. Here's some snippets:

By any definition, the Melbourne Football Club is a basket case.

The AFL, flush with broadcasting revenues, continues to prop up these ailing clubs and artificially sustain their images and their culture. In the shrinking world of corporate rationalisation, they should long ago have merged, moved or disappeared. Stynes brings a new board, a new direction, a new passion and integrity to the position, but he won't be able to save them.

Melbourne needs more than 150 years of glorified history that is now totally irrelevant to its current circumstances. Both clubs, despite Brayshaw's charisma and Stynes' passion and integrity, are doomed.

As they should be, because Victoria does not deserve to have 10 teams in a truly national competition.

Yeo proposes to move two of the struggling Victorian teams, obviously Melbourne and North Melbourne, to the west coast of the USA, say Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Absolute arrogant crap. Thankfully both Adelaide sides got a dose of humble reality at the weekend. And we can actually thank Port Adelaide for teaching us something about the Victorian game of football:

Port writes manual, 'Playing Cats for Dummies'

PORT ADELAIDE has now provided the competition with the perfect template. For the second time in nine months, Port has shown everyone how not to beat Geelong.

Pricks.

 

Haha Graham Cornes. The epitome of a South Australian nuff-nuff if ever there was one.

Anyone know whether this waste of space has a contact address?

Wouldn't mind giving this [censored] a history lesson. The only one who is irrelevant is him and his opinions.

Divert the attention away from the fact that one SA club lost the Grand Final by 100 points, while the other has failed miserably to capitalize on their ladder position in the last few seasons. Pathetic.

 

His team is in a two team state, yet we average higher home attendences. STFU Cornes you old [censored].

I was tempted to cut-and-paste your excellent critique ("Divert the attention away from the fact that one SA club lost the Grand Final by 100 points, while the other has failed miserably to capitalize on their ladder position in the last few seasons. Pathetic.") but thought you should have the pleasure.

Give it to Cornes & co!

(and actually it was a 119 points losing margin in the Grand Final)


Spoken with all the authority of a [censored] who hid under the bed until he was 31 years of age, came to Melbourne in 1979 amidst great fanfare and played out a glorious 5 game career with North then coached a one team town to a 43/1/45 record.

What a sad little man Cornesy is. Very easy to be big headed in a 2 team country town. I feel sorry for him.

I hope Stynesy reads it and files it away. Bad Karma Graeme

I find the suggestion by Cornes that we relocate to the west coast of the USA even more insulting than Kennett's Gold Coast. After all everybody knows Kennett's [censored] sense of humour.

I hope lots of Demonlanders give them South Orstralians heaps to think about, you can send them your 'best wishes' by going here:

I doubt very much my comment will get published.

The good people of Adelaide will surely censor my thoughts on the fact that old Cornes gets a public arena to discuss the insane dribbles of his mind, with absolutely no reason or fact :rolleyes:


Quite frankly Id deck this C for the impertenance of being so disrepectful to... YEO.. how demeaning to infer of him as a basketcase !! Deplorable. Just shows what a waste of space this excuse for faecal matter is.

You can leave a comment below the article.

Give that old [censored] a piece of your mind.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
