Yes, will upload tonight. Posting on Facebook.

Far out. To this day your one man operation still trumped the AFL, NMFC and NAB AFL media operations combined.

I'm not even saying this to flatter you.

It's a ****ing disgrace that they exercised the commercial block they chose to do and so denied fans the opportunity to get more into the sport.

Seconded.
 
Has anyone mentioned that Polec was supposed to play half a game but ended up with 69% game time? Very nice bonus from the weekend. He looked great too. One less worry for round one. Him, Higgins, Taylor, Hall and Thomas all being in great form is very good news for our class bereft side.

From what I can gather, it has been Polec’s best pre-season in a few years!

The way the commentators drooled every time he went near the ball they made it sound like he was pantsing us. JMac did ok.

Heeney had minimal impact and he is a good player. Other weaknesses aside that return justifies his spot. If he did that in a final against Heeney you'd take it every day.

Admittedly this was a practise match but its all we've had so far. If he keeps this sort of thing up it'll serve us very well.

Jmac wore him like a glove. He had many games like this at the back end of last year

Russell & Cooney are serial North dislikers/dismissers, so they have to pump up something during their calls.
 
I have to mute most of the games now.

Commentating is so one sided it’s ridiculous
I have done it for over five years now. The Geelong final was the last live game I’ve listened to in full.

Why is Cooney even in the media ?

He acts like a 14 year old and by far the dumbest 14 year old in the class

A complete *******.

I get the impression that he's pissed with us after reading this board toasting him on his childish stupid commentary and it burnt him.

Footy media are playing to their audience. Like most things these days media play to the lowest common denominator.

Have stated this before, but how long until we routinely start using a lockdown/run with tagger, yesterday it was Kennedy in 1st half, v Melb, Brayshaw to an extent, v Bulldogs, the Bont/Macrae etc, seems it is par for the course for opposition ball magnets to get a relatively free run at accumulating disposals v us, despite having a dominant Ruckman more often than not.

Since we lost Jacobs, this position has not really been addressed/filled, rather ignored with the "back our boys in" strategy, Kyron gave us a tantalising glimpse before tearing his achilles, but it appears he won't be available in the short term.
Someone said 6- 7 weeks , round 4 maybe. I have been told Kyron looks extremely fit and has done a mountain of running so it'll be interesting to see how and when he goes. Images put up on FB looks like he's smaller than last year, his skin folds would be pretty darn good. Hopefully he's still working with BJ.
Nice to here a bit more love for JMac on here, don't get the hate for a guy that busts a gut and played his roll well against Sydney.
Talks over here at the moment regarding the virus are about keeping the players and coach/medical staff away from fans ECT. No media for players at the moment.
