2024 Training With The Ooze Crew

[CarnTheTiges]

Clubs should just refuse. Some players are not comfortable in this situation and should not be forced into it. But it does absolutely nothing to enhance the product, which is the football matches themselves. I expect we are going to see some very reluctant interviews with players at times giving very limited responses to stupid questions.

The players should give boring yes/no no comment answers to every question. They’ll soon get sick of it.

I think this means that for a 20min period after the game, not a 20min long interview. Even the most ardent news outlet would say no to that…boring

I know, but still, they’ll all go straight for Dusty

My daughter (who is a fairly decent footy player) got the KFC ball in the bucket at the last Richmond aflw match.

Very disappointed with the prize.

A few years ago a GWS fan won $100k for kicking a ball into some Toyo Tyres 30 meters away.
the $100k was insured - Prize indemnity insurance (like a hole in one can win a car in golf).
Most clubs were offered the chance to stage an equivalent promotion. RFC were sponsored by Jeep at the time so we could have a comp such as winning a Jeep if ball kicked through the sunroof.
RFC did not want to part with the insurance premium and decided to offer a rather pathetic prize that they could afford themselves instead.
We ended up offering to kick a ball into a tiny & soggy cardboard box from a different sponsor - very amateurish compared to the professionalism of the Giants & exposure Toyo got.
looks like the same bean counters are still in charge now.

AFL at it again… 20 minutes is ridiculous. And we all know who they’ll be coming for after every game…

Sounds like Dusty is going to have 'general soreness' at the end of every game.

'Yeah sorry, Dusty's just icing his toes at the moment. Got a bad eyebrow corkie, copped a dislocated fingernail late. Just with the medical team for the next 20 minutes. Should be right for next week.

Kamdyn's free for a chat? Yeah, ignore the crutches.'

Or just respond to questions like Seahawks running back Marshaun Lynch did in the week leading up to the Superbowl. Every question, his response was “I’m here because I don’t want to get fined”. Was hilarious.
Lynch had a similar hatred of the media as Dusty does

funny how the afl introduce this after franklin retires. you just know the media will hound Dusty after every game, probably under AFL directive.

Lynch has good reason to have post match interviews after that Port final incident

but don't forget we love to hear our guys and despite most of it being politically correct and heavilly scripted , we still get some good snippets
and we do get the odd gems like Roaming BT and the post match with Sampson Ryan, girl friend and mother

had to laugh hearing Max Gawn this week , he was sounding very much like a Dimma press conference

Which Dimma?

In premiership winning mode Dimma or over cooking sausages Dimma??

 

[Scoop]

Can't wait till players get fined by the AFL for saying the "wrong" things in these 20 minutes. This will backfire dramatically.

And the clubs will start the clock at a point and then cut them off very quickly.

But I'm going to say something that will shock you, I'm all for this. The chaos will be so good.

100% agree.
Making a player not comfortable with media participate in interviews is not necessary and could actually be harmful.

Good policy. Fans deserve nothing less.

Really? So you’re happy to see a camera shoved in our players faces every week, even after a loss? Nah

 

[TigerForce]

Just give the media short answers. "Yes", "No", "He is", "OK", "Yeah, good", "Doing well", "Have to get better" etc.

 

[Redford]

“It was surreal.”

Yep. I think they are tough enough to handle the pressure.

 

[T-Shirt Tommy]

Can’t wait for players to give insightful answers to probing questions like ‘you must be happy to get the win today?’

If he does get a spot on the list & actually gets an AFL game, I hope they don't do a "Marlion" on him & hound him into submission.

 

[mrposhman]

I'm sure clubs will brief the players to do this too. This will inadvertently expose the complete duds we have in our media that constantly interview players with closed questions.

is there still room for Esserdern to pick him up?

Cheers for posting that Mon.
