Capper in the Telegraph

[hammo]

Who's the bigger disgrace: Warwick Capper for being an absolute fool or the Daily Telegraph for publishing a daily column written by him?

I know Capper is playing up to his self-created image, but surely the Swans and Sydney have moved on from this has-been castaway of 80's excess?

All this column is doing is playing up to the Aussie Rules stereotypes of leaguies who's views of the world are shaped by the Telegraph.

Surely its time the Sydney media showed more maturity and left behind Capper and his peroxide blowdry in 1987 where he belongs and published a more meaningful column.

I would think Crouch's daily diaries along the lines of what he is writing for the Swans website would be far more interesting than the egostistical musings of a clown who's selfish ways have nothing whatsoever to do with the current Swans team and the Bloods ethos.

Until this happens the Telegraph is kidding itself if it thinks it is the "Official newspaper of the Swans".

The Daily Terror is only the "official" newspaper when the swans are winning.
You wouldn't see the Herald give Capper a column!!
I love Capper ... he's such a tool. He's bona fide free entertainment!!

I think the Capper articles are fantastic. Haven't read one yet where I didn't end up @@@@ing myself laughing.

You need a drink, a r&^t or both.

Yeah, they're pretty funny, although I agree with Hammo on Crouchy.

Still, Capper was writing the same column last year. I think it's a refreshing break from the seriousness of it all.

You are right. The Daily Terrorist is an absolute disgrace. However I doubt that this would be the primary reason for that assessment.
