Media Gems of 2016


Maple Demon

Recommended Posts

There was a thread similar to this last year and it gave me a few laughs so I thought I would start one for this footy season.

My first entry....

Just heard on the radio a media commentator saying they were "heading up for the blockbuster between Gold Coast and Essendon."

That is certainly not what I would call it.

"He's such a gifted player yet he still does so much wrong that one struggles to find the right expletives"

It's certainly one of the round's most interesting.

"He has such ELITE (insert generic footy carp her)"

Every thing now-a-days is ELITE!!!

Why can't some things be average?

David King is the biggest plonker who bashes the sh!t out of the word... In fact most of the fox goobers have a penchant for all things ELITE at the moment.

How about Gerard Healey gushing over $cully at the start of the last quarter, saying how great his aerobic running is, yadda, yadda, yadda. Pity he forgot to mention his appalling kicking which subsequently created a number of last qtr turnovers. Lol!

gerard whateley has called that if clayton oliver doesn't get the rising star nomination this week it would be a surprise...you could hear sellars maclure snort in derision in the back of the box.

 

weitering's debut was good, but oliver's was better.

Parish did a fine job and will be in calculations too.

You answered your own question. David King is very [censored] average!

Thanks Darce.

He works as a comedian on MMM as well as being a commentator and a "football brain".

For a tall, dopey dimwit from Adelaide he has come a long way, maybe too far, like Rove.

His dad is a Sunshine boy: my dad worked with him at British Tube Mills. I used to face him in the nets when he played for Sunshine Cricket Club. Her was a very good batsman who bowled mean leggies. His son may have been born in Adelaide when Darcy was transferred in his job bit Luke is a Western Suburbs boy.

( That might explain why he's not the brightest spanner in the tool box.)

Mark McClure is a Huntingdale member. To see him holding court there surrounded by fawning acolytes is galling. Seriously he is a buffoon.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
