Many of us here despise the journos, there are the usual few that people despise more than others.

However, I continually notice one journo popping up showing support of our club - usually going against the grain, and that is Jon "Ralphy" Ralph of the HUN.

I have listened to him on SEN radio and notice a few of his odd tweets, and considering we are always quick to attack their articles I figured I should pay some form of respect to a journalist that continually supports us.

So thank you (if you are one of the few that read Demonland).

With regards to other journos I also have a great deal of respect for Emma Quayle of The Age.

Anyway that's my two cents,

Cheers.

Ha.

No Ralphy can lick my BB also.

I'm sure BB would love to be licked by Ralphy.

Fark him. He even more than Wilson went after us after Brock's "revelations". Fark him

Whenever i hear him on radio it always sounds like he has just downed 5 strong coffees in 2 minutes.

Lightweight at best.

Eff them all - they are liars and parasites. It is just a question of degree.

Hmmm. I think you could come up with something better than that BBO! Or haven't you opened the bottle yet?

PS: For what it's worth, Emma Quayle is a very nice reporter (if there is such a thing?)

Agreed Demoneyes. Certainly provided a much more balanced view than others in recent times. Also agree in relation to Quayle.

Also tweeted that we "deserve some luck" after the pick 3 compo, which sent many on bigfooty into meltdown.

He does seem to be more in our corner of late, which is odd given he's a Tigers fan and they generally can't stand us.

We don't have many allies in the media, so I for one welcome Ralphy's new found affection.

Big fan of Ralphy. Tweeted subtle disgust about MC wanting out not long ago and now acknowledges we 'deserve a bit of luck', unlike the majority of the footy world saying we don't deserve 'welfare' from the AFL in terms of pick 3.

That says it all Clint - cute little Emma included

you won't be understood I fear

So, if I'm reading you right, you believe John Ralph and Emma Quayle are worth one cent each. Is that right?

I'd give Emma one.

Yeah, probably inappropriate there, Billy.

One cent, Adam.

Wouldn't give Ralph anything.

Thanks mate.

think everyone is being a little harsh on him. recently there's definitely been a focus from him supporting equalisation measures, and especially the demons, when nearly every other journo has added fuel to the fire of the Frawley's not worth pick 3 debate.

plus he seems to be in the Dees corner. can't say that about many journos...

Got no problem with Ralphy.

I am though a big fane of Terry Wallace. his insights on trade radio are very good to listen too. Very honest and doesn't sugar coat things.

His list assessment on teams this year on trade radio have absolutely spot on. Listen to the one about Geelong and he is on the mark.

I'm not a journo hater like so many footy fans seem to be. Fans lose their minds over journos opinions when they're just that. As long as they put forward a balanced view, then it creates good discussion.

However are people basing their positive opinions on him because he supports us at times, not his journalistic work/record? Seems hypocritical.

Don't mind Ralphy, comes across as one of the good guys.

Apart from Emma, none of them do their homework.

i still can't get past the irony of him labelling himself as the 'list manager' after what he did to Richmond's list when he was coach...
