Can we f'ing get someone in the media to fight for us?

[kfc1]

I googled "Jennifer Kyte" (before I saw marky53 correct the spelling) to see what she looked like and the first result is a forum thread called "don't stick things up your bum". Poor girl...

Adam White, Mark Robinson, Sarah Jones and Rohan Connolly.

obviously Lloyd/Lucas/Watson/ex players who do matchday media roles as well.

Is there any others Essendon fans in the media?

Emma Quayle.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

can just imagine opposition fans reading this and spontaneously combusting in absolute disbelief, since most of them think we are the media darlings

 

[raskolnikov]

The Herald Sun has an absolute love affair with Collingwood going on. A big double page spread on all their young guns in today's edition.

I couldn't give a shit if we aren't the media darlings tbh. It makes it all the sweeter when we stick it up them. Like Sheahan continually leaving Jobe out of his top 50. How's that going for you now Mike?

they generally do focus on the Friday night game in the Friday papers though...

I've lost count of the amount of fluff pieces we've had written about us over the years in all the Vic papers.

It's seemed that at any stage over the last 10-15 years that we've been the focus of attention in the media be us good, bad or indifferent. I know we're part of the Vic big 4 clubs, but if I was a Bulldogs, Hawthorn or St.Kilda fan, I'd be pretty happy flying under the radar media wise (except for the big story breaks).

At this stage with us being in the top 4, Joe D coming to us next year and Jobe at the top of Brownlow polls......I'm waiting for the stories like Hird's Recipes or Bomber Thompson's Sunday Health Routine to be appearing in the papers any day now rather than the good club news that should be being printed.

For an ex Carlton player Mark McLure always seems to be positive about us.

Was last year and has continued on this year.

 

[Big Blow Hard]

I like Robbo, but get the impression he goes overboard to avoid the bias tag. But he does tell it as he sees it which is ok. They are media andtheir job should ideally show no bias (Wallsy, u hearing that) I relly dont care that we are flying under the radar. Another good win and that will soon change.

 

[Big Blow Hard]

**** she was hot.

Shes lost it a little but no offence, I'd climb over the lot of you to throw one in her.

 

[The Prosecutor]

I love Dermie.

I don't believe he really hates us, in fact I doubt there is any team he respects more than us.

Plus he always is direct with comments.

Lore, had a quick google search and this popped up, seems as much as some things change and age, some things just stay the same


This thread was started back in 2012 and still no one is standing up for Essendon but instead letting the s*** kicked out of us

 

[Old Campaigner]

Imagine if we did something worth fighting for

 

[ant555]

Seriously who gives a ****. It is not the medias job to stand up for a club that most of its issues are self inflicted.
Win games they move onto someone else.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

The media is trash. There is no high level analysis done. It’s all just like look at this isolated lack of effort, not actually how the structure is flawed or breaking down.

 

[fairbump_playon]

AFL media is like a snowball rolling down a hill. Every year it’s picking up size and momentum, but the only things getting added on are further and further from the core.

The time is coming when year views of videos of random punters watching and reacting to On The Couch are higher than views of the games themselves.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Anyway I thought you were going to stop giving a **** about the media and touch grass instead

, Nick Riewoldt and the rest of the “St Kilda Mafia” who treat every club decision like it’s a masterstroke straight out of the playbook.

At the end of the day, I’ll settle for knowing that most of them are just click-bait hunting bottom feeders

 

[Phone]

man this thread was created before the careless actions of the essendon football club got 34 players banned for doping. no wonder no-one fights for us

 

[Old Campaigner]

It’s still early in the season, leave some toys in the cot to chuck out after the bye

 

[Call Me Cake]

banned for bringing the game into disrepute

Efa

 

[faible]

Efa

The players got suspended for doping.

The club got penalised for bringing the game in to disrepute.

Solid thread bump.
