I've had the misfortune to run into Crouch a couple of times in the last couple of months. He has never been brilliant in dealing with the general public but he has become downright petulant and boorish recently. He spent a fair whack of time at one junior club appearance a few weeks ago continually asking when he could leave.
The bloke needs a visit to the big room of mirrors IMO.Comment

The guy clearly doesn't understand the role of the media and his role as a professional footballer. The media is not there to give him a hard time, they're there to inform the members, supporters and sponsors who pay a lot of money to watch this team play at home and away. Crouch is seen as a key player so if he's got an injury surely the supporters deserve to know what it is? If he's not playing his best, why is that? Otherwise all we'd have in uninformed speculation on RWO.
Without supporters watching on television or at the games the Swans and the 15 other clubs would not exist as professional clubs and not be able to pay the big bucks to blokes like Crouch.
A little co-operation with the media is not that much to ask.
Barry Hall had the same problem after the grand final and is still whingeing about the coverage he got.
The Swans need to realise that as their profile goes up, so has media interest in all aspects of the club. They can't expect to get their daily fluff pieces fed to the media by the PR department run verbatim without a fair share of critical analysis every now and then. At the moment the likes of Crouch don't seem to understand that."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

That's the problem in Sydney - The players are generally insulated from the "negative" media, as opposed to teams in Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide.
When they do get press that isn't "feel good" but analytical or criticises their form etc. they get all touchy.
By the way, Crouchy's head being targetted? Unfortunately that may just be related to his height.

Isn't this an old story? I'm sure he said exactly the same some time last year.
Strange stuff, but apparently he feels strongly about it - he should put the media on his ignore list.Comment

He is always extremely nice to me when i speak to him so to say the media has had an affect on him as a person i think that is just rubbish. Last time i read it isnt a crime to say how you feel so cut the guy some slack. He is payed good money to play football not to have stories written bout him which are not true. Yes i wanna know how bad the injury is and how long he will be out but really so we need to know every little thing that is wrong with him!
Anyway ill let you get back to bagging him now!

Hi All,
Did anyone else hear Crouchy on SEN last night?
He spoke very well and at length about the drugs problem.
He also touched on the gambling saga, as he is the mentor to Kieren Jack and also Ryan Brabazon.
Nice to finally post on this prestigious board!

more lies in the ageThere was a scare for the Swans during the second quarter when Jared Crouch, playing his first senior game since round 12 last year, was left limping after a contest, but he was able to run it off.I wish my weed was EMO so it would cut itselfComment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
