Denham's problems with Melbourne

[old dee 22,930]

he can probably only handle one agenda at a time

I have listen to him most weeks in the last month and the guy has a downer on all manor of things believe me it is just not the MFC

Eg. today it was the irish game, poor fields on Oaks day and not interested in the last day of the carinval at Flemington.

He has IMO a fairly negative view of life in general.

Perhaps he should go back to WA because it seems little excites him in Victoria.

I agree O.D. but you mention AFL to Denham right now and Melbourne crap will spout out profusely.

Well he shares an office with Patrick Smith so that in itself would be enough to make you want to end it all.

guess I'm lucky. Don't read the Australian and don't listen to SEN

if it wasn't for the good folk of D'Land I wouldn't have known to be wary of this rock spider

My problem with the times i have heard him and i did hear his comments this morning tipping a thinly veiled bucket on CS, is that as a journalist i have an expectation that they should judge each event on its merit. Therefore if he had a problem with the Bailey sacking and the so called CEO affair - so be it - but then judge subsequent events independently - i dont think Venom can. Once you are written in red ink, then thats the end of it for him.

[Dee Fan 3,247]

I only listen to him if i'm in the car and that's not a lot, the guy's just a [censored], most of what he says is to get a rise out of someone and I guess it works.

If he has something bad to say about the club and it's warranted fair enough but if he is just talking crap then leave it and he'll soon stop. Someone said earlier he probably loves the attention he's getting here and I'm sure that's one way he gets his jollies off.

The club should handle it I'm sure they are aware of it; if he makes a statement like the Wonna one the club should take the initiative and make a statement refuting it or ring in and correct him on air. Make him look stupid in front of his audience and he'll soon stop.

Good to do but not sure it would stop him - idiots like him dont take to any criticism, never listen to other sides of the equation, have thick skin and most of the time dont realise when they are being made to look stupid. He will just plough on regardless.

That is what i wish to happen. At the moment i hope the club is collecting his outbursts, so they are well prepared to really pull him apart on air.

The bigger problem is the more publicity he gets, positive or negative, the more people will listen to him. It seems in this day and age the worse you are the more popular you become; Paris Hilton, the Kardashians etc.

It just means you have to do your research very carefully and wait for the right moment....if he is made to look a fool on air then he has no choice but to listen....but you gotta get him at the right moment.

I don't think there is any need for an official response unless someone is defamed. Denhams rants ATM are brain farts, they're not even creating a ripple anywhere except here

Theyre not dumb these guys at radio land. They know were building and before to long and theyre going to have to talk about our side in more than a fill in spot so they use guys like Denham to poke us into ringing up and having a go ( providing entertainment ) so in future years when the bigger sides are down they wont have empty switchboards. I would have to say after listenning to a lot of sports radio the last 5 years or so that a MFC supporter ringing up on an us vs them topic would more often than not be in the minority. I never call in i just listen with my blood boiling. Much respect to those of you that do call in and support, i hear you and i fist pump. Go Dees

[The Third Eye 212]

I heard him this morning at approx. 9.30 he was asked why do you hate the MFC so much?

His answer:

Some CEO's go out of their way to help and provide info and others lie!

So there, now we know what his problem is!

Essendon supporters will tell you that when Denham was sticking his boots into them earlier this year, he was calling their club liars.

The man can't even come up with an original line to justify this obsession with clubs and people he doesn't like.

And I think we've all had enough of this sensation seeking pickle. If he's feuding with one of our officials and this is his justification for his irrational hatred of our club, then it's time to cut him off.

Fan's right in this respect at least. Let's concentrate on journos who get it right more often than not - like Mike Sheahan and, dare I say it, even Caro.

It's time to lock this thread and the final word to Mr. Denham is ... as always ...
