He obviously doesn't rate Langdon and Blakely...or doesn't realise they exist?

Most likely the latter

 

[scon]

The Roar often has articles which are a combo of in depth analysis and glaring omission.
At least their contributors can point out they're not full time.

 

[balthazarthedonk]

Most likely the latter

Nah Ryan is a West Australian. A WCE fan who doesn't mind the dockers and loves footy in general. He is a better analyst than most (particularly when it comes to statistics and Nat Fyfe statistics in particular). I'd say it was unintentional

Love this article on blakely, good to see him sticking up for the club!

"Ross Lyon was so content with where the club sat he extended his coaching contract with the Dockers to the end of the decade – becoming the coach with the longest tenor on his deal in the league."
Must be Pavarotti. It's an italian thing.

"Others approaching the 100-goal milestone include Evandale's Matthew Clayton on 74, who plays in the Northern Tasmanian Football Association, and Albury's Josh Mellington on 64, in the Ovens and Murray Football League.
Mellington spent three years in the AFL and played six games for Fremantle."

I can't remember, why did we let Mellington go? He was a pretty handy player wasn't he?

He was a bit one dimensional. Mainly there were rumours he was less than honest in some of his off field behaviour.

This was the main reason.

 

[Yato]

He doesn't mention Morabito either - would be good if Mora is carving it up for Freo soon!!!
Good article!

I know its not technically Freo dockers related, You have to love Crowls

Horse's mouth, he'll feel sad if he's booed.

I don't like being "that guy" but I'd be pretty disappointed if he gets booed as well. Pretty extenuating circumstances.

Same. We got rid of him, not the other way around.

I can't honestly imagine our fans booing him as he was widely loved but it can't be understated how insidious the Freagle/Eagle element is. I can see those flogs giving the rest a bad name.

This. If you boo Crowley you are a freagle flog.

 

[Nickos66]

The people that boo Crowley will likely be the same fairweather flogs that booed Adam Goodes last year, "coz i'll boo who I want!".

There'll be plenty of Essendon supporters booing. Listening to them at last week's game, the knives are out.

I thought Stanton was suspended?

This year is full of so many rubbish agendas, I can't believe some journos stake their credibility by pushing them.

Firstly it's Ross Lyon can't develop a list. Now when he tries he's accused of tanking. Even when we were playing our youth, there were calls for youth to be played. WTF??

Now it's Pav's turn to be patronized. Ok, he is not in great form, but driving the agenda he retire is insulting. And if he does retire, we'd further be accused of tanking for playing an underdone Apeness.

And finally - not even a small amount of lip service is being paid to our injury toll. Harley Bennell even got his own agenda a few weeks back, rather than the focus on the overall lack of depth in the list. But yep, were tanking and I fully agree that the AFL should revisit the draft as a direct consequence.

The media can GAGF, 2016 can GAGF and if the AFL revisit draft rules mid season they can seriously GAGF.

This.

It's so comical you start to wonder if this is the Hunger Games and we're all from District 12 or something. Certainly, the umpiring's always been rubbish and we faced all that crap with Geelong-gate and the sneering AFL commentary team - but this is next-Gen epic.

Had to laugh when I typed in Dockers news in Google the other day and the top articles were Hardie's 'Dockers aint gunna get no picks no matta wot', 'Dockers are tanking n better be careful from (type clueless Vicxpert here)' and finally WA Today's collection of Owen Memes (I genuinely found these funny).

Tbh, who gives a **** about the media but the more they push their own agenda the more the AFL feel entitled to push through what it needs to.

Hagdorn sticking the boots in with an article about Freo not drafting Darling, McGovern etc etc.

The bloke is an absolute flog.

yet more proof that he lifts his articles from here.

Can literally write the same article about any team.

WCE missed Fyfe
Hawks missed selwood
Richmond missed Buddy

Etc etc etc.

but he won't.
lazy journos can come on here, we are like the canaries in the coalmine. the stuff we talk about is beyond the analysis of most casual fans so hacks like Haggers can lift what we write about and it comes off as researched analyses to the punters.

 

[beetz]

All the media beat up of booing Crowley will absolutely now mean he gets booed.
