I googled "Jennifer Kyte" (before I saw marky53 correct the spelling) to see what she looked like and the first result is a forum thread called "don't stick things up your bum". Poor girl...

Adam White, Mark Robinson, Sarah Jones and Rohan Connolly.

obviously Lloyd/Lucas/Watson/ex players who do matchday media roles as well.

Is there any others Essendon fans in the media?

The Herald Sun has an absolute love affair with Collingwood going on. A big double page spread on all their young guns in today's edition.

I couldn't give a shit if we aren't the media darlings tbh. It makes it all the sweeter when we stick it up them. Like Sheahan continually leaving Jobe out of his top 50. How's that going for you now Mike?

they generally do focus on the Friday night game in the Friday papers though...

I've lost count of the amount of fluff pieces we've had written about us over the years in all the Vic papers.

It's seemed that at any stage over the last 10-15 years that we've been the focus of attention in the media be us good, bad or indifferent. I know we're part of the Vic big 4 clubs, but if I was a Bulldogs, Hawthorn or St.Kilda fan, I'd be pretty happy flying under the radar media wise (except for the big story breaks).

At this stage with us being in the top 4, Joe D coming to us next year and Jobe at the top of Brownlow polls......I'm waiting for the stories like Hird's Recipes or Bomber Thompson's Sunday Health Routine to be appearing in the papers any day now rather than the good club news that should be being printed.

For an ex Carlton player Mark McLure always seems to be positive about us.

Was last year and has continued on this year.

I like Robbo, but get the impression he goes overboard to avoid the bias tag. But he does tell it as he sees it which is ok. They are media andtheir job should ideally show no bias (Wallsy, u hearing that) I relly dont care that we are flying under the radar. Another good win and that will soon change.

I love Dermie.

I don't believe he really hates us, in fact I doubt there is any team he respects more than us.

Plus he always is direct with comments.
