Biased/incompetent media coverage

The problem I have with the commentary is that the whole game is commentated as if it's a book with Collingwood as the protagonist and the Eagles are their opponent for this specific chapter.

Also the reaction to Duggan's mark was a disgrace.

Exactly. We don't need the narrative, or cheering for the underdog. Call the game at hand. We're there for the footy, not the caller's ego trip.

Richmond lose away (0/4 interstate); lol ah well, doesnt matter
Eagles win away (4/4 in Vic); hmm well idk, remember that game like 12 rounds ago? they really didnt win by enough, haven't proven anything

absolutely mind blowing

Sam McClure giving redheads a bad name since 91.

Sam McClure is my second least favourite redhead.

Is there a bigger flog of a journo in the game than Sam McClure?

Not a big fan of Darcy but props to him and Brown for taking an actual players view into the matter. A bloke who will miss at least another 12 months of his career (effectively 3 years) in an industry where you're lucky to make 10 has got to be shattering.

Haha Browny calling him out! That’s great! Good to see the recent ex players understanding and showing some empathy.

 

[kaII]

God his tone in that video is so infuriating and self-righteous.

Thats the difference between someone who has been in NN's place (as a player) and a know it all Journo that lacks empathy. Everyone except MClure and BT(My dog is probably smarter than him tbh) were on the same page. Sam McClure is lizard person.

I'm doing what now?

Why do we need the footage Sam?

 

[Quinz]

Why do we need the footage Sam?

Imagine if no one knew what Nicnat looked like on crutches. What would we do??

 

[squashface]

Browny goes bang from 60. Love it.

Very classy from Darcy as well.

Yep. And Im willing to bet prior to this the club said to these cameramen "give it a rest boys, hes had a rough day." The self-righteousness of Sam shows the type of person he is.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Great work from Darcy and Brown. Those reporters/camera folk should take a hike. Don't really care if they're just doing their jobs - you know you were choosing a profession that attracts invasive ***holes.

You've almost picked it word-for-word https://www.sen.com.au/news/2018/07/15/the-sam-mitchell-factor-behind-the-eagles'-rise/

He's nothing if not predictable.

Nic Nat is overrated, but also a superstar of the comp in that upper echelon of half a dozen players.
Despite being overrated, we can't win without him. Except for that time we did. Right in front of him (Right in front of hiiiiim!).

At least he has the stones to say 'no' we can't win it this year now. I predict a Wallsy-eque premiership favourites column in the coming weeks.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Feel sick saying it

But Darcy absolutely nailed that with balance and maturity

No reason for the push and shove - but let’s not go about hanging blokes either

 

[Matera92]

Glad Browny and Darcy called out that absolute oxygen thief McClure, spoken like true piss weak desk jockey who's never played the game.

EAD you campaigner.

 

[Jeeves]

Loved how Browny gave it to weasel McClure with both barrels and then refused to take his comments back when tosser demanded he do so. Props to Darcy on how he told him that he didn't understand how it felt to be a player in Nic's position.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Fair to say you probably need to take a good hard look at yourself if you can make me side with Luke Darcy on an issue.

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

"You're being smart but you don't really believe that".

Darce did well not to claw the skin off his face and eat it in front of him.

Yep. And Im willing to bet prior to this the club said to these cameramen "give it a rest boys, hes had a rough day." The self-righteousness of Sam shows the type of person he is.

The truth is the club had an agreement with the camos that they would walk Nic out and the media could get shots. They then shuffled Nic out a side door so the camos came around to get their pre-arranged shots.

Essentially West Coast were all:

You're being smart but you don't really believe that.
