OTC should be interesting tonight, Healy will think it's better than Christmas with both the WA teams at the top.

Did anyone else notice Walters(?) almost giving away our fade-out strategy, but then quickly correct himself post-game?

Can't remember where I heard it

Yeah but luckily for us RWC is in England

The Sydney and Brisbane dates are the 8th of August and 18th of July respectively

 

[beetz]

WC will be lucky to make the 8.

 

[Lost_Deputy]

Oh yeah! Not one mention on Access All Areas. Love it

I'm predicting a shock win for GC this weekend with their rested players

The only problem being what did their rested players do during their week off!!!!!

Bring back Ablett this week!

I'm pretty sure they played, or at least Harley Bennell did.

Yep, why mention the only undefeated team when you can talk about Hawthorn's jumper and Collingwood players laughing and smiling running through the banner .

 

[Arcassius]

The media loves drama and a good story. On that basis we're boring as **** since we keep winning.

I'd rather we go about business than be featured and blown up about how good we are constantly. Takes the pressure off us.

why do we even care, lets just keep winning and write our own story as RTB would say.

In fairness, the media operates this way because humans feed off negative news. Its attached to our defensive cognitive bias which has an appetite for recognizing and interpreting threats. It's really primal. We are so far in the distance we aint a threat. It's kinda beautiful

apparently they trained hard and are keen to make amends

So, on OTC tonight:

Freo have won 11/12 first quarters for 213.1% (next closest was 8/12)

Also, 2014 vs 2015 CD ranking points:

C Pearce up 31.5
L Neale 27.5
D Mundy 22.6
M Pavlich 18.0
C Mayne 15.3
G Ibbotson 13.0
D Pearce 12.9
N Fyfe 7.4
L Spurr 3.7
L McPharlin 3.2
S Hill 2.5
N Suban 2.0
Z Clarke 1.4

On 360, there was a great discussion re mental health of the players, and the media's role in sensationalising issues such as Cloke's goal kicking yips, with Bucks and Roosy. They actually had to cut it short which I thought was a shame.

Amazing analysis, especially since there's only been 6 played. Haha
