Roast The media....*Shakes Head* Part 6

[Garibaldi Red]

Are they including Erin Phillips in the outs?

When Seedman got his end of career motorcade they did report that the Crows lost to Geelong and their horrible run with ACL injuries mounting to 4. By my reckoning that was Doedee, Seedsman, Phillips and Scheer.

Do we get that little airtime on those Fox Footy shows that when we get a bit (framed around Nathan Buckley wanting to copy our style when playing West Coast) we put it on the Port Adelaide website? FMD.

Steven Motlop went from ‘Charlie Cameron-replacement’ to ‘Port Power are paying him $9,000,000pa to go there instead’ too.

Alyx Where is that crows opinions on Motlop before and after trade picture?

Your post reminds me of an article in The Weekend Oz the weekend of the first round about who gets how much coverage, that I took a photo of the article, but never posted in here, and saw it again as I was cleaning up my phone photos file. From the Sport's sections A Week At A Time column.

We don't get much press in Melbourne, mid pack in the Australian. Lockhart Road what happened to Cos Cardone's media roadshow?






Doggone it, those sons of the west re on everyone''s lips.

Last week we told you Wests Tigers were the most mentioned NRL team in Australia’s metro newspapers and websites during last year’s regular season. Now we can reveal which AFL club drew most mentions from the nation’s major news sources. Was it eventual champions West Coast, or their grand final foes Collingwood? Perhaps defending champions Richmond? Nope, none of the above.

A study of The Australian, the Herald Sun, The Age, The Courier Mail, The Sydney Morning Herald, Adelaide Advertiser, The West Australian/Sunday Times, Fox Sports, AFL.com and WWOS revealed 2016 AFL champions the Western Bulldogs rated as No 1.

Media monitoring service Streem Media and Partners collated the figures which put the Doggies at the top of the table, ahead of the Adelaide Crows in second place and Geelong third. The Dogs did find themselves in a few minor controversies last season — had coach Luke Beveridge lost the dressing room? The turbulence created by Tom Liberatore — but, like Wests Tigers last week, it does seem an odd result.

Streem’s Conal Hanna suggested the wins by Wests Tigers and the Western Bulldogs could be related to their somewhat clumsy names. “The analysis looked for stories mentioning both the team name and their mascot, although not necessarily together,” Hanna said. “Perhaps the names Wests Tigers and Western Bulldogs are used as a package deal a lot more commonly than other teams.” Streem’s study revealed plenty of parochialism in reporting of AFL with Adelaide’s Advertiser the most likely to focus on the home-town teams. More than 60 per cent of AFL stories in the paper mentioned either the Adelaide Crows or Port Adelaide. Sydney was the next most self-obsessed, when story counts from The SMH and The Daily Telegraph were combined. Here at The Weekend Australian we leaned towards the Swans but we’re also pleased to say our second most-mentioned team was eventual champions West Coast.

The most unloved teams across the nation’s media were Fremantle, Port Adelaide and St Kilda — all clubs who battle against higher profile sides in their respective cities.

lol they even branded him the next Eddie Bett before he signed.

Funny, because they don't have similar gamestyles at all.

There is one similarity though. Funnily enough, it's the only similarity shared by Andrew McLeod and all the various players who have been anointed by Crows fans as 'the next Andrew McLeod' too.

Hawks fans quick to laud Wingard as the next Cyril aren't much better. It's strange no one has called out certain clubs and parts of the media in almost all indigenous players get a 'plays like <past indigenous player>' whilst outside gun recruits and the pre-draft 'plays like Judd/Harvey/Fyfe/etc' it doesn't happen anywhere near to the degree for non-indigenous players. It's not 'hard' racism, but it's lazy at best and 'they all look the same to me' 'soft' racism at worst.

Not just you. There’s elements that remind me of gav as well.

Incredible.

Yet....entirely predictable.

No supporter base deserves to taste premiership success less than this lot.

 

[LFC2010]

brilliant.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Anyone who is indigenous = McLeod or Betts. It's the circle of Crow.

 

[RossFC]

Bring him to a REAL club!

The muppets weren’t wrong about Motlop playing for the magpies. Wasted talent just like Wingard. Lazy..

Nah, that’s “if 700 muppets posted for 700 years” territory. One of them might make a half decent call occasionally, but “to be or not to be” is still all about Motlop, not them.
