Suspect there is a thread like this every year, but this year I am on board. The lop sided count is beyond 7’s control, but everyone knew going in it was likely to be that way, so surely there are enough wise heads to build their coverage around the likelihood of a Dusty runaway win, or a...

Why are people blaming AFL greed for the coverage. Wasn't it on 7 and not FOXTEL because it's a protected event on the anti siphoning list?

So, being an ex football umpire, current speedway driver, V8 owner, Eagles fan, cyclist in training for upcoming Ironman event....... if I should happen to suffer the unfortunate fate of being belted, which of my hobbies / interests should I blame for the actions of the small minded bigot that...

Yep, cause cyclists are always blocking up the Kwinana Freeway at 30kmh aren't they? Bikes are not for freeways is your contribution to the discussion? Give yourself a little tap, they aren't allowed and never are on the freeways (excepting one off community events) in W.A so don't talk crap.

Would want to be a hell of a lot of money, and even then it's a really distasteful idea. Imagine the potential rubbish the first player will have to contend with (if not from fellow players then fans and media at least), without the added burden of having only come out with the incentive of...

Another skewed logic. Why on earth would Adelaide or Perth have rated the same as Sydney (even doing you a favour and ignoring total population) in a game that had no team from those states. I would bloody well hope Sydney had a higher number of viewers for a Sydney v North Melbourne final that...

Absolute peanut that offers nothing positive to the footy media. The whole Whispers in the Sky nonsense was the end of him as far as I'm concerned. What seemed to get lost in the crap that sprung up, was HE STARTED IT by making a smart alec comment to one of the umpires on the plane. It was...

Amusing logic, given that it could be argued that supporters of 9 Victorian clubs had little interest in what Sydney and the Kangaroos were up to. The turn out at the game was rubbish, and no matter how you try and spin it, 186 000 watching on TV in a population of around 4 - 4.5million is poor.

The media frenzy was massive, possibly too much. I agree with MM on that much. But whining that it was only because it was Collingwood that it was so played? A number of things contributed to it getting the attention it did. 1. A drink driving incident at Collingwood is bigger news than...

Opinions absolutely no problem with. So called trends that they write an article about based on only selected stats, are rubbish. You and Adelaide Hawk are right, it probably says more about the public being so gullible. All of a sudden there is an element amongst footy fans who believe Western...

It's a tough balance. Sam is no idiot, and at present he seems caught between having to carry less entertaining panel members than they used to have, but not getting himself or 9 into too much trouble at the same time. When his style of humour does push the envelope a little, that is a delicate...

Getting sick and tired of trends based on loose facts being started in the AFL by the media writing something when they have nothing else to write about. The story about the 'lucky Bulldogs' now has gained legs it seems from some of the threads and comments on the main board, and it's quite...
