Smarmy prick. Every interview was him smirking and dismissing every scandal with a nod and a wink. Surely most people saw that??? Sure the football media never called him out but we know they can’t or they lose their accreditation

I just read it and thought WTF - popular?? one thing that was disappointing I learnt from the article is we’re still stuck with him next year, will be there for the first few rounds then back for Brownlow and GF. Hopefully that will be the last of him but with Kerry Stokes and his great ’eye...

Then how do you factor in ‘neutrals’ bias against/for particular clubs and/or players?

Spot on. We’re a small club and have our fair share of nuffies. I had a go at a bloke a few weeks ago making some poor comments All racists can GTFO

started to watch the game and thought ‘* that sounds like Basil’. Changed the channel. Had a quick read of the game day thread and unsurprisingly lots of posts on his commentary - still on 3 second delay.

Thanks Rohan. I checked out the ESPN link - there are some good articles. I’ve bookmarked the link

Thanks Rohan, you’ve articulated well my thoughts on modern football media. I used to pour over those sports pages, particularly Mondays. I find I don’t read or watch a lot about the game any more. Only The Front Bar but even that’s getting tired. It’s a lazy way for the outlets to get clicks...

Is/was he better? Sure, not as abrasive and combative as Vlad. His is a more smarmy approach- dumb smirk while sweeping all the dirt under the rug. I don’t think the game is better under his watch. Certainly not for us fans which apparently was his main focus when he first took over. Remember...

First Aussie rule’s episode for the year last night. Guests were meh. Find Gil‘s smug responses annoying. Thought Selwood was interesting when they showed him rugby throwing and mentioned ducking. I thought he looked a bit uncomfortable and then admitted that he had thrown the ball multiple...

Thanks Yolngu. I will look for the book on Gulpilil. we watched the Australian wars. Would definitely recommend. i learnt a lot about our history from when the English arrived. It’s really confronting and sad. All of these stories that are not part of our recognised history because it doesnt...

This. I think if a player asks to leave then they can’t only name 1 team. The current club should be able to get the best offer, make clubs compete. All players are FAs now, from year one.

I noticed reading this thread you stated a family connection and have stated a number of reasons why he left. Are you now suggesting it’s because there are flogs at CFC? So everyone at GFC is a top bloke and he will get on with everyone? i don’t think you’re helping Henry here, makes him sound...

Do you mean supporters sitting 50+ meters away aren’t in a better position to determine if it’s a free kick?

Yeah, thought the same as you about how Mooney And Molloy worked together, maybe it forced Malloy to work harder as they worked well. Maher didn’t get much of a word in which is never a bad thing.

when I saw Mooney in for Pang I groaned as generally find him unfunny and annoying but I enjoyed him on that episode and had a few good laughs. The bit about dogshit and todays kids would never have seen a dried up turd I cracked up too. Maybe I’m getting more immature …..

Really feel for him and his family. i used to admire players going in hard and would call players soft if they didn’t. I don’t now.

Hey, stop bringing in facts/reasons to their pity party. Here is some news - Media outlets pander to local audiences, have agendas, generally only know the ‘stars’, do very little analysis and are only interested in generating clicks. Just don’t watch/read their click bait nonsense or stick to...

Good initiative - well done Melbourne. Anything that helps raise awareness, even this thread, is a good thing. At least we are talking about our full history, which I think is very important. I think/hope one day our capital cities and states will be renamed, once we become a republic maybe.

This is sad news. Obviously I didn’t know Ron but noticed him for his stats. Someone would ask for some obscure fact and Ron would respond in the next post with the answer. I also noticed he often posted his social views, although they don’t align with mine or others he was generally respectful...

One of my favourite dogs players. seems a real ‘heart and soul’ team player. The way he’s finished with one year left just confirms my thoughts. Classy

Thought the same. If the AFL in their pursuit of making the game more ‘attractive’ had of instead let the game tactics evolve Naturally, what would the game be like. I agree with you I think the game would be better but I guess we’ll never know

I don’t think you just look at it through stats - although CD would have you believe it’s the most Important information For me personally I don’t find many games interesting any more. I used to watch 4 or 5 games a week, really loved watching games with other teams involved. I even liked the...

Yep. Hard call

He’s baaaaaaack Doing the commentary for the swimming in the Olympics. Has Thorpe and Leisle Jones as co- commentators but they barely get a word in. Just his endless, incessant dribble. Calls swimming about as well as he calls footy. Currently getting excited about how a 20 year old girl...

A neutrals POV, I thought it was a good effort by the pies last night against a top 4 side with a lot more to play for. A lot of young talent with potential. Lots to look forward to for supporters. Collingwood are a proud club, still putting in the effort every week with everything else going...

Thanks Ponsford Magpie for some facts and context to the ‘discussion’

Thought the same. Have noticed what a poor winner and loser Molloy is. Has been basking in Richmond’s success like he’s got a couple of premiership medals himself but he can’t take it when they give it back to him. I actually enjoyed the episode he wasn’t on a couple of weeks ago.

He was asked what you think about vaccinations? Do you trust them? His answer: “Pretty topical, some people might not like this answer but I think the media overplays it a lot,” Stephenson said. “If there’s no media, then I don’t know if Covid’s such a big thing. “That’s just my opinion, I...

Agree, have noticed it particularly in the last couple of years. All the commentators laugh, isn’t Mummy hilarious when he tries to hurt people. Intent should always be a factor for the MRP but these days it’s all about the outcome. An indictment on GWS that he still gets a game.

Haven’t watched the show for years. I cant stand Hutchison and not interested in watching Caroline Wilson death ride our club. Watched it Wednesday cause of COVID and it was painful. Eddie with his mobile in hand, name dropping all these ‘important‘ people he has on speed dial. He just seems...
