2015 Media Thread

Think we should have a thread dedicated to news articles, audio clips, etc. for the season.

Here are a couple of articles I stumbled on today. First one on Lachie Neale and the 2nd is on Fyfe.

They are gushing! Cant wait to read the accolades when and if Fremantle actually win the thing

Stickied.



And as much as Fyfe deserved an AA spot in 2013 he was eventually snubbed, bit of an oversight. Good(ish) article nevertheless. Or not.

Wow that article on Neale was a great read. Just a big splooge fest for our midfield

 

[greatgatsby]

You can't believe the Dermott who wrote that piece on Neale is the same incoherent bloke on matchday commentary.

 

[Seppo]

I like Derm, he's a smart man and has a great mind for the game.
If he can just get over the need to use 100 words when 10 will do, also cut back on "Me Time", he will become a great commentator.

 

[theGav56]

The abc article is a bit of a waste of space.

 

[Steinfreo]

You know I think Neale's game is having a really large effect on Barlow's game in particular. Barlow as a more running attacking, even forward option is far more like what he did pre leg break.

Haha - Managed to squeeze in Natanui and forget about Priddis. Good to see nothing changes in the media

WEST COAST v FREMANTLE

HOT: Eagles forward Josh Kennedy was the top-scoring player of round two. He sits at a career-high 48th overall, fourth among all key forwards. Fremantle star Nat Fyfe had a career-high 30.9 points in round two. 36 disposals and 25 contested possessions were also career-highs.
NOT: Eagles ruckman Nic Naitanui averages just 3.1 hit-outs to advantage against Fremantle. He averages 5.7 against all other clubs. Dockers forward Chris Mayne has kicked just 14 goals in his last 25 games. He kicked 76 goals from 47 games in 2012 and 2013.

I wonder what Sandi's stats are for hit-outs to advantage. Because Natanui's numbers look really low

 

[13then7]

Anyone else notice the former Hawthorn greats putting all the attention on the Dockers and deflecting the spotlight from the wees and poos? They've turned it up a notch after round one when everybody had the w&ps written on the cup already.

Propaganda.

I am sure that is statistical anomaly as they find it hard to measure when he taps it to himself

It definitely occurred to me but then again, Derm's always been a Dave Mundy admirer.
Being the cynic I am though, there's a strategy at play.

This made me laugh.

Was watching "Footy Fix" or whatever the show after the Friday night footy in WA is called. The panel had mark Duffield from the west and Peter bell and two other blokes whose names I can't remember. Anyway, when discussing Fyfe, the younger of the panelists said he had spoken to Fyfe who told him; "I just don't think anyone can tackle me". The panelist then said that Fyfe would probably hate him repeating that. Regardless, if it's true, it goes to show the kind of confidence Fyfe is playing with now.

Fyfe love has gone to the next level.

It's common knowledge but I love to be reminded of who the Eagles picked instead of Fyfe and then what they ended up with.

Ouch!

I like how all the articles for the derby comment on how the Sandi/Natanui matchup is going to be a thing of beauty. They're right. It is going to be beautiful watching Sandi absolutely towel-up Notacluey & dominate the ruck.

 

[E Shed]

its nice to have a player like Fyfe getting the plaudits and the team as a whole getting some respect over the whole league with guys like Dermie writing articles about Lachie Neale but its getting a bit hyper now. Just as happy when we go back under the radar a bit.

It's Naitanui! Sorry it just drives me nuts seeing it spelt wrong

I prefer to remember the stars they selected after the Fyfe pick. Remember Gerrick Weedon and Koby Stevens and the 10 or so quality games they played between them? Didn't think so.

I recall all too well.

If he stopped "almost" doing things on the field, we'd stop almost spelling his name right.
