I really haven't seen many examples, but then I don't really take notice of footy media much anyway. It's all a product of an over-inflated industry with too many s**t truck journalists with not enough to talk about.

So what do they do? Create fluff to justify their own existence.

I think you're confusing footy media with the media in general. I'm old enough to remember when the news was, you know, news. Not how many outfit's Pippa ******* Middleton's guests were expected to wear to the wedding.

I have heard more about how bad our opponents from the last fortnight have been playing tbh.

Still haven't beaten anyone huh? Rings a bell.

I think it's fair to say the last two weeks might have led to a teensy bit of media hype.

Not really.

I've heard more about Geelong having only 14 tackles in the first half then I have about our pressure.

And more about West Coast's Melbourne woes then our performance.

If we beat Richmond, then it'll be all about Richmond going from 5-0 to 5-5, Dimma etc.

I like it to be honest

No, I meant footy media.

Some parasite like Barrett doesn't last in an environment that is quality-demanding, not muck-demanding.

I s**t you not Doss, there is no media left that does not employ parasites like Barrett in the mix. Quality media nowadays is defined by the ratio, rather than the existence of said parasites. :(
 
We all know that as soon as they string a few good weeks together the vitriol around perceived 'soft' penalties for ASAGA will come up again.
My head wounds are still healing from the last time I tried explaining the facts to someone.

TBH didn't watch your last two weeks. I'm amazed you beat the Cats, less so the Eagles. But you're right. Beat us and it'll be all about Dimma's head being on the block and us going backwards at a rate of knots. Footy journalism loves blood in the water.

Edit: Must apologise to Doss, on reflection footy journalism is a special type of cancer after all.

That's it in a nutshell, and no team is immune (except maybe Brisbane right now?) from it.

New coach always = immunity (unless you made an insane choice like Tim Watson)

Starts to wane next year.

It's a good stat when used in the right context and comparing like for like players. Comparing an inside mid to an outside mid or even half back flanker is dumb.

Yah mon, better stat to assess Mitchell would be "assisted metres gained" (metres gained by the teammates he's passing to) which he leads the comp in.
 
Richmond are very actively involved behind the scenes in arranging his Father to be allowed back to Australia and based on how things are going, He should be back by Christmas.

Seriously.

The idea that a football club is able to actively pull strings with the immigration department is laughable. I can tell you right now what they'd say if Richmond rang up trying to influence them.

I'd say it would be more likely funding some legal types that can work out how to make it occur, than actively leaning on immigration.

I'd like to think that given the latest events in the world, stupid s**t like this wouldn't get posted online. What a ******* disgrace.

That's more at home in the "Monstrous Imbecility IV" thread

Happy for you to reply BombersFan93 just without the name calling

Zaka was probably in our best ten players. He ain't getting dropped and nor should he be.
 
Bloke sitting next to me at the game after Daniher got caught holding the ball: "FFS just trade him while he still has some value!".

Wow.

Does that really deserve a direct post in here however? Bit uncalled for to ridicule our own for a different opinion isnt it?

Was always gonna happen. So many confident people saying richmond are trash and we would thump them all week. Totally undeserved arrogance.

Same people throwing their toys out of the cot. Again after a loss.
