Another budding hack journo at the Age

Never heard of Rod Curtis of the Age before and judging by this [censored] poor attempt at humour at the expense of the club, I doubt that we'll hear much more from him in the future. If you're looking for laughs or even a single giggle - don't look here!

 

If one thing's for sure, the [censored]-poor attempt at humour will KEEP him employed. Or at least picking faults at EVERY opportunity will always get a hack journalist a gig...

Paul Gardiner was right when we spoke about the media in his farewell speech. THEY are the biggest joke in the modern game. Not the MFC. And the funniest thing is, EVERYONE laughs AT them... And they have no idea.

Do you even care anymore SP? Seriously, this sort of garbage is par for the course when the club is down. There is nothing more certain than when a team is coughing blood onto the canvas, some [censored] will come along and kick it. Says a lot more about the [censored] than the poor bastard that is being kicked.

 

Consider....he would have nothing to write about if we as a club werent providing his material !!! No doubt about it..the MFC is cementing itself again as the butt of humour.


have you seen the photo in the physical edition of the Aged that accompanies this article? David Neitz in a fohawk and bling, standing next to Mr T. Just when I didnt think we could sink any lower...

I liked it and the photo with Neitz is great.

Some people here really need to harden the you-know-what up.

I rarely see or hear Collingwood supporters whinge so much about being referred to as "filth" or for having dole jokes made up about them.

I actually thought that the article was funny...and pretty much spot on.

l was looking for his email address so l could send him an abusive email, what a f%#kwit :wacko:


There are more ignorant posters around here than I'd realised.

Bagging Rod Curtis? Never heard of him?

"No I don't read the Age, it's a bit big and serious." Tools.

Learn to read or at least Google.

I'd guess that many people who read The Age haven't heard of Rod Curtis - he's not a big name there.

Furthermore, it's ironic that you're taking pot shots at people for being ignorant because they don't know about a sports reporter.

Important stuff, the sports section in the paper!

I'm just happy we're getting some exposure with this commercial (assuming it goes to air), regardless of how silly it is.

Any publicity is good publicity, or so they say.

The ad appears to be no sillier than the Totota ads so it's stupid of the journo in question to suggest that it makes the MFC some sort of a laughing stock. It does make the journo a bit of joke though.

Gee, there are some precious little snowflakes around here.

If ever a club was ripe for a pot shot or two, it's us right now. Add to that the fortuitous timing of Mr T being in town and you've got some rolled gold right there. I reckon any self-respecting journalist would be remiss if they DIDN'T have a bit of a dig at us and involve the fool-pitier himself.

God knows I would have.

And for those who are too stubborn to Google Rod Curtis, he's the night sports editor of The Age. Hardly a "budding hack journo".


Yawn.

Wish I could have that minute back.

:lol: Now that's funny.

Rod Curtis. Now that name won't be remembered when the club turns around and lifts aloft the Premieship Cup.

Yawn. Colleague of yours no doubt.

Haha Jack, call of the day!

So I'll ignore "budding" then. :rolleyes:

I'm flattered that you think my prose is of sufficient quality to write for The Age. But you're not even close, snowflake.

Never said that, so save me the sob story.

Perhaps Charles Happell and Rob Curtis were separated at birth

Amen to that Jaded......

The article was silly, but so what all in a good cause!!!

  • 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.
