Footy media , love’m or hate’ m ?

Hasn't stopped since! throw dickheads like Barrett & Mcclure in with the above post also. How they are still in the industry will forever remain a mystery.

Have you had a look at the footy media "industry" lately?

Not a mystery to me, and why I generally avoid reading much about footy in the media.

If some sort of footy media "industry" actually existed they would be going after the AFL for their inconsistencies, complete lack of transparency, overpaid staff and a myriad of other issues. As it stands we just have a footy media cheer squad.

Cornhole on trade radio saying the AFL should step in if GC offer Richmond pick 6 for Rioli and Houston is twice the player Rioli is.
Using that as a logic maybe the AFL should just run the whole trade show and allow or veto trades as they see fit. He really doesn’t put his brain in gear before he opens his mouth.

We'll always be in Karens head for the rest of his life.
Nah he’s a well paid paid troll who targets Richmond supporters because many react emotionally & click. It’s shock jock behaviour as old as time & his boss knows bad Richmond news sell$ because of it. If it wasn’t Kane they’d just wheel out another one.

Barrett is trying to get a bit of Corne's action. Hopefully they have a beetch fight.

"I claimed hating on everything Richmond first ! Find another club....wha wha wha...."

Don’t think the AFL could get involved. All Richmond has to say is Rioli is contracted and a required player. We are under no obligation to trade him. Go forth and multiply you muppets.

As you know I have a very unhealthy dislike of Cornes , I think he’s just a straight out *smile* of a human , in saying that he is obviously doing what he is paid to do extremely well , I avoid /block Cornes from everything I can , however like a pimple when your a teen, no matter how much you pop it , poison it , scrub it , it still keeps popping up . I highly doubt there’s been an ex player in the media who is so disrespected , hated even by he’s colleagues , he must love the almighty dollar a lot more then his own self respect.

Saddens me that a person with such a negative attitude to our game is so influential in the media , he really dosent seem to care what damage he can cause to a young man trying to make his way in the game , crosses the line to much I feel . Again sadly most of the AFL media focus on the negatives in the game . Seriously how does a Cornes help the game , ive said it before he’s definitely put me of AFL I just hope I’m in the minority.

Do better AFL

I heard Hutchy say recently the period of negative footy reporting has reached its high point and the feedback is that the public are getting sick of it so hopefully he instigates some change to the quality of footy reporting .

If we go by here and social media comments , Cornes etc are creating click bait , however they are turning people of footy media and the game in general

Disagree.
If thats the case he'd go hard at Coll & Blues aswell.
 
Negative style reporting is not going away - its only going to get worse. Negative views, hot takes, rage bait unfortunately is what gains eye balls and listeners. It's a bit like advertising, we all say we hate it and it doesn't work on me - but it does.

It's a unlocked code in human psychology - everyone knows the axiom that 'sex sells', well over the past 20 years the modern media (fuelled by social media) have rediscovered that hate, fear, negativity sells even better than sex.

Cornes is the AFL standard bearer of negative media. There will be many more flogs like him to follow to line their own (& media owners) pockets irrespective of the nonsense they sprout and collateral damage they create.

Sadly I think your spot on SoJ

However I think your selling Kaneo a bit short , no one will come close to him in the flog stakes 😉
