Channel 9?

Question

channel 9 had an interview with nathan buckley about his retirement they were talk about drugs in sport and showed clips of cousins, wendell sailor, andrew johns and i think chris mainwearing. not sure if it was but im pretty sure. is that a bit tasteless ?

Answer 1

Yes and on the Today show this morning they said Chris had died of a drug overdose when nobody knows exactly what he did  die of maybe they should have a bit of respect for his grieving family.

I bet they didn't show Alan Didak driving around with a guy associated with bikies the night before he stabbed his girlfriend and killed an innocent good Samaritan.

Answer 2

It's all about ratings & being sensational. Eddie is no longer one of the big wigs at 9 but if Buckley has an itch, Eddie is always there to scratch it for him! We'll see more of Buckley on TV - especially Channel 9.

I agree with the old girl this time, Collingwood try to deflect exposure of their troubles by highlighting other clubs woes.

Didak virtually escaped punishment for his involvement in a shooting incident - by a known criminal (And later a murderer). Players fighting regularly at nightclubs & pubs.

Very tasteless to touch on unrelated players involved in drugs ,& a tragic death, when on the subject of someone retiring. What connection was there?

Answer 3

I agree it is tasteless...thats the media for you *sigh*

Molly, you certainly have an issue with Didak.  If you are going to make statements about him, then at least get your facts right.  The only thing Didak did was be at the wrong place at the wrong time.  Although leaving a strip club is inexcusable!!

If you read the full report on the incident you will see that he didnt just randomly decide to hook up with druggies/bikers for the thrill of it.  Im not going to waste my breath explaining the truth.

Imuwunda - geez you really must hate Collingwood - makes me happy :)  We love to be hated coz all your ramblings on about Eddie & Collingwood just scream out jealousy!

Answer 4

no

they have all been involved in drugs

drugs are illegal

they all should be named and ashamed

whats next a person goes on a mass killing spree

but its OK a bit of a hug will make it all better

Answer 5

Yeah i sure that, yeah  mainwaring was in that clip, i thought it was low, he was a champion player
