footy shows

[Bird Man]

Is it just me or do you guys think we are the least talked about team on football shows? eg 360, On the couch.

we might get a mention but the team we face gets the most attention even if we win

 

[CQTiger]

has alot to do with us being near the bottom of the ladder.I know what you mean though unless the sh*t is hitting the fan at Tigerland they are not interested in reporting about us Still I reckon no news is good news

 

[tugga]

Yeah, let's a get a few of our players to get involved with an underage girl and get photos taken of their wangs.
I'm quite happy to be out of the limelight given how bloodthirsty the media is these days.

I think our exposure has been pretty good....

I've been enjoying Fox's coverage so far this year, really enjoyed the new show with Dunstall and Lynch hosting, way above average analysis and great guests. Sheehan's recent interview with Matthews was also top viewing (thanks far more to the latter than the former of course ), even the show with that pair of clowns Whately and Robinson which I thought would be unbearable was watchable, especially when McLure and King added some good insight. I've had enough of the Frawley/Dunstall clowning, I avoid it.

Did anyone catch that little blurb of Parkin's re. the 1999 prelim? I like those sort of extras, I think overall Fox has done better this year so far, best lineup since the good old days of Clinton Grybas and the Fox Footy channel.

Must admit, I haven't noticed we're missing out on coverage Bird, I think we've done OK, the sides getting more have earned it either through good deeds we haven't been able to emulate, or notoriety I hope we don't emulate.

We get a very good go given we seem to go into seasons saying that we are not really expecting to be part of anything until 5 years time.

Cant blame them for focusing on teams that are presenting themselves as serious contenders.

Our supporters are why they do. If it wasnt for our supporter base we would be spoken about less than Fremantle.

Unwatchable. You can just hear the producers saying to each other that the rapport between the two is gold.

Its contrived and boring. People who would find Frawley funny wouldnt be getting the coin to afford Foxtel.

As for the people who considered him a coach, Well......, I guess we paid them well.

Good thread this, not so much to bag the various shows, but to use it to mention the times we are talked about.

Like -Walls on One Week at a Time, giving Martins incredible outside of his right foot pass to Jack whilst running hard up on the left side wing in the 3rd qtr the play of the round, and also going on to compare Jack to Peter Hudson. Even though i hate Walls it was great stuff.

LMAO, I've imagined the same thing myself...the person/people responsible need a good slapping. What were they thinking, that they needed way more Footy Show style clowning around, which for many people, killed the Footy Show long ago?

I just couldn't comprehend that Frawley is so dumb to have totally ****ed his body doing it last year, yet be lining up for the same hi-jinx again this year...like he's still 25, still invincible, and still trying to drag the Saints off the bottom of the ladder. All the good reasons to put your body through absolute hell year after year are GONE Spud!

God only knows how his poor wife has put up with him being an A-grade dope for this long.

 

[Rayzorwire]

Great examples Baz, I missed that show.

 

[mitch richmond]

Not losing any sleep over Robbo and his ugly arrogant head, man2man suit and Sam Newman hands not talking about us!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TheProwler]

What do you expect? Surely you can't expect detailed analysis of us when we haven't played finals for so long and are still no closer. Taking of my yellow and black cap for a moment I would want to hear about the stories each week and what we can expect from several of the top sides.

Our turn will come where we occupy a fair portion of the interest in these shows. I just hope it's for the right reason

5 years time?
I don't know what calender you're operating on but the club didn't say that.

The said they wanted to play finals from next year, part of their plan.

As for the spotlight. Most of it has been on Essendon. Persnally I think their tyres have been blown up so much that the resulting explosion is going to be huge. They have improved but talk of them as top 4 is insane.
They will get smashed by more than 10 goals on a few occasions this year. Bookmark it.
