I am not trying to get into a debate about Collingwoods current development but I am interested to compare how Collingwood is being treated by the media versus how our club was haunted by the media. I don't see the usual commentators from Seven, Nine, Sen or Fox putting the boots into Collingwood. I am not seeing any derogative "made up thoughts" about what the club is doing. Yet the AFC had so much crap being dreamed up about how it managed "the Camp".
And what about the covid infringement the AFC had at the beginning of the season. It was really a very minor infringement especially when compared to how other clubs stuffed up. The media got stuck in to us and wanted us to lose points but they never suggested that the other clubs who players broke the rules lose points. Imagine Richmond losing points. Never.
We certainly are treated as the worse club in the AFL yet others act and behave in a manner that makes us look tame.
I will be interested to see the media's input into what a terrible club the Magies must be. At least it takes the negative focus away from us.
