Yes, it left zero time to mention Fremantle.

We got a mention in the 360 seconds, I think one point/question?

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

Is this improved ranking points vs previous year? Interesting to know what % it represents for each of them off their previous year base.

Suffice to say that all those above Nat fyfe would be a significant percent increase.

Did anyone watch Talking Footy? Is it worth watching?

Did anyone watch Talking Footy? Is it worth watching?

Yep, I watched it. Mostly talked about Richmond and Carlton. Mentioned Freo being at the top of the ladder and winning 6 straight, then proceeded to talk about Essendon and their boring and ugly game style for 2 minutes.

So, basically no, unless you want to watch an hour program for 15 seconds of Freo. Turned it off at 8 (we got mentioned at 7.58 lol).

Was interesting to listen to their discussion on mental health and Mitch Clarke, with Wayne Carey asking if the footy field was the best place for him considering all the sledging that goes on from opposition players and supporters, with him being obviously 'mentally fragile' at present.

 

[Kram]

lol at Buckley accusing Robbo of lazy journalism on 360 followed by a moment of awkward silence.

 

[gaskin]

To be fair to Robbo he was just asking a question based on a comment made by Derm then Buckley had a crack because someone criticised Cloke for being a spud in front of goal.

I'm excited, apparently they are discussing Malthouse and Essendon after the break. We might get a mention as essendons opponent

 

[ydraw]

Are CD ranking points the same as AFL official rating points?

That was the exact story of on the couch. 360 didn't mention us at all.

No.

 

[Arcassius]

Well today I learnt -

• Essendon are playing like shit
• Malthouse is under pressure, Carlton are playing like shit, and Gibbs & Murphy are standing firm
• Brad Scott is in some sort of shit for an alleged incident with a guard
• Blicavs and Stanley are the most awesome mobile ruck combo ever
• Bucks hopes Cloke will improve his kicking

Loved his quote that Fyfe would one day be a dual BnF winner lol

Yeah, definitely a happier man on Monday's compared to post game.

 

[FreoGirl]

and just like today, we are never going to make the back page unless we lose a game lol (which we wont)

Strange isn't it... though I guess most readers of the west are old, and the weagles would have more supporters in that age demographic.

Our problem throughout the media is that we aren't doing anything 'remarkable' or 'shocking' enough. If we went on to win by 60+ against wadadon then it would have been news worthy. An easy 28 point win is what was expected. We thumped Melbourne but that was the same week the hawks went thug like and the dogs beat sydney. The upsets this past week are more news worthy in a sense. I wouldn't mind a couple of 80+ point wins this year but also wouldn't mind knowing how great we are and not getting much attention because the other top teams are messing up and 'surprising' people.

 

[Arcassius]

We will start getting more press towards the finals as people start writing articles around 'how do you stop freo?'

no, they will be just discussing potential contenders for this year's runner's-up. we still wont get mentioned.

I'm happy for us to not be mentioned if we end up in the GF (and win it) because nobody saw it coming

FC is wasting your time if you are seeking Freo affirmation.

 

[Arcassius]

Any form of mass media is wasting your time if you are seeking Freo affirmation.

Fixed.

 

[Fred Ziffel]

Fixed.

This has now been three weeks for me watching that junk. .... Never again.
