Crows fans online keep throwing shade on this one Crows player
I heard podcasts here Moore mix one or two point three podcasts, playlists and listen live on the free iHeart app. The Adelaide Football Club at the moment is a very good football team. They are fourth on the ladder. They're flying. They haven't been this relevant since twenty seventeen. Honestly, eight years of irrelevance have been building up to this year.
Surprise, surprise, they're back.
Which is why it annoys me so much that there is still a portion of the fan group that treats one of their players in particular, with such disdain and vitriolic hate.
Okay, who Lockey Murphy.
Locke Murphy has played I'm guessing here over one hundred games for the football club. He has been at the club for years and years and years. He comes in on Thursday night, hasn't played that much this year. He got picked on Thursday night at selection, and fans have decided a group of fans, not all of them, there are lots of positive comments, but a group of fans have decided that selecting Locke Murphy in a football team is a symbol that our football club sucks. Because Lockey Murphy sucks.
Why why do they think he sucks.
They think he sucks because Locke Murphy plays as a forward and he doesn't kick that many goals. But if you had any nuance at all in your brain, you would realize that Locke Murphy plays as a high half forward, which is the worst You ask any person that has been in an AFL environment, the worst position on a football field to play, because the way that you play that position is it's not about you kicking goals, it's about you being in two places at once, chasing down everyone all about tax and the.
Other players that play high half forward.
So he does it and there's usually only like one or two players that do it in the football team. And Crow's fans go, well, there are other small forwards that kick a lot of goals, so why doesn't he kick a lot of goals? Regardless of why they hate him or not, the hatred for him has gone so far that when they put out the team selection on Thursday night, they put it up on all of their social media. The Adelaide Football Club official account had to put a comment underneath after seeing all of the hate flood in, saying football is a human too. Please be kind or reconsider leaving a comment.
But isn't trash talking something trash.
Talking the opposition and saying things like your mum's your dad, or you've got bad teeth, or yeah, your boots are ugly. That's absolutely fine, that's normal, that's fun. You have a laugh with your mates. Then you're The comments that this man gets are just like and because it's been going for so long, it has to sink in. He knows about it. I've spoken to him about this before, off camera, away from him. He hates it. Oh, it's so unfair a lot in life. I'm a footballer. I'm not going to please everyone.
But he's there for a reason.
Could you imagine? Could you imagine giving your your body like physically, he and every footballer will have lifelong injuries you can't recover from. You give your mind, you give like your twenties, if you're lucky to this football club to put your body on the line for them, and then you're just so actively hated by a portion of the fan group that even if you like if I kicked the if I was him and I kicked the goal on the weekend, I would want to turn to the crowd and give him the double bird.
Would I get it.
I would too, But isn't that when you're in the public eye, don't you kind of if you're just liked by everybody, isn't that boring? Don't you kind of want to stand out a bit? Like people are talking about him. Isn't that a good thing?
No good way, because the talk is just hatred.
It's not just like there's like seventy percent good and thirty percent really bad.
Nah, it's just hatred like text Walker. Yeah, but the people we can all appreciate Taylor Walker is a very very good, iconic footballer.
So you're saying he gets no love for his actual for.
The role that he lays. He gets no love. He gets comments, and all of their names are there. I could go through all the names on Facebook who have been saying all that you cannot Callum has written how to lose a game before the balls bounced? Ian has written looks like we've just given up. I'm changing my tip, Dimitri, Why why why number four should not be playing in number four?
Have you never had this online note? I get this all the time. Haley's got to face someone to punch.
Oh, Haley's back on radio. I'm changing sotions it's.
The only player that I've ever seen be picked, and the Adelaide Football Club has had to respond saying football is a human too, Please be kind.
I reckon that pr person is a woman. The person that wrote that empathy men can have that too, screams. I'm looking at a different Anngwer.
I just want you all to be a little bit nicer and consider what this man has done for the football club before you jump online and rip him to shreds.
That's nice, I gotcha. I agree about Thanks.
