Mega Thread The Media Thread

[Marty Whitelaw]

Funny how The West, Perth Now,Channel 7 don't seem to no
tice anything sinister with the team they are major sponsors of.
We will see this story in the West with an Eagle player on the next page smiling at a photo op at a community camp
Don't buy or read their crappola....
One day there might be a media outlet in this town without an agenda who are fair and balanced_ wouldn't that be nice..(KARL)

The hypocrisy and double standards of the Perth media are nauseating. My favourite was when in about August they did a story about how Liam Ryan’s “incident” was such a turning point in his life as a person and footballer. This after they failed to report the initial incident properly and accepted the BS explanation from Nisbett, Stocks and Simpson that the incident itself was a non-issue.

I like to think it will improve when Nisbett and Stocks leave the club. Nisbett is overly sensitive to any criticism of the club and punishes anyone who steps out of line. Stocks is far too close to many of the Perth journalists which doesn’t help either.

Could you imagine if Bennell walked out/left/got sent home early from a training camp! The smear campaigns would be unbelievable. Happens at West Coast and they are forethinkers for player welfare and management. Love it!

Nisbett and Stocks must laugh at the BS they can get away with. Media lap it up every time.

And it’s not just because they win the flag this year because they’ve been pulling similar stunts for years and it’s always worked. Doubt also one of the reasons cousins was allowed to get away with his tricks for so long.

Awful, just awful.

 

[wayToGo_]

Also very much doubt Nyhuis and Giro are best 22 given they didn't play in Rd 23. These articles are always scratch the surface stuff. I really need to stop reading them - a semi interested fan learns nothing.

And I am sick of seeing various “experts” put Ed Langdon on a hbf. It makes it really hard to respect their opinions at all when they can’t get a few basics right.

Along with brilliant insights like this;

Ross Lyon’s team have maintained their mediocrity — something that simply must ameliorate if the coach and his team are serious about winning a premiership.

Ballas would not be best 22 this year either.

Plus one of them was de-listed and the other didn't get upgraded from the rookie list

It was painful to read! The old line of Roscoe does not play the youth was even run when we put more games into our youth than any other team. Then the selection of the the best 22 just confirmed this idiot has never spent 5 minutes watching Freo.

 

[Dale147]

You guys have also echoed my thoughts on this.

so you're saying for Freo to get good, they have to be not bad?

Shite article, due to poor research.

The quote about Rossco and the your, he writes it up as a negative that Rossco played a lot of yoof in 2019 !!!. Damn me down, play the experienced ...... you’re neglecting the yoof, play the yoof .... you’re neglecting the experienced players.

Could this be Crumpets / Bloodnuts, “unclaimed” offspring ?.

No Byline on this one at all so it was probably written by the work experience kid

No Blakely
No Conca
No Colyer
Giro
Nyhuis
Valente
Langdon HBF
S.Hill HFF
Lobb HFF
Walters and Cerra starting on-ballers

Are they trying to make us look like wooden spooners or something? Absolutely shocking effort. Every single best 22 I’ve seen is better and that’s saying something in some cases.

 

[Carson Dial]

I’m happy to let the media hacks make their poorly researched rants and underestimate us pre season as long as we deliver when it matters.

I’d rather fly under the radar than be lumbered with unrealistic expectations. We want to be the sleeper car not the show pony.

 

[Dockers v Channel7West]

Well done to the West Australian for burying the Cousins drug and DV story on page 40 of Saturdays paper
According to the West He is a former AFL player.
Funny no mention of The West scum Eagles whom he was previously the spititual leader of..
Oh yes thats right, the West Australian are major sponsors of the Eagles
Keep up your Hypocritical ways West ... it's what we expect

He is a sick man who shouldn't be put in the paper at all, needs to be out of the spotlight and get some help.

Who cares who he played for anymore, this is a destroyed life

Couldn't care less about the West Coast stuff.

As a woman basher he should be outed for the utter sub human that he is. Every woman in society should be able to find out what kind of a horrible human he is.

Domestic abusers (male & females) should be on a data base like paedophiles should be.

It is a national crisis and the sooner we address it as a society the better.

I am Happy that it is on page 40 , As a football fan i am over it . Although i believe that had he played for the dockers maybe more fuss and page 1-12 , But a very old rehashed story. The latest developments are just a sad fact of what this drug reduces people to.

I totally agree , Domestic violence is scourge on our society. The greatest scourge on our society is drugs and alcohol and directly feeds domestic violence.

Fully agree, he is a very sick man with lots of problems.

Reckon there is a person at the West, who every couple of weeks re-edits his obituary, ready just in case.
