Roast IF it isn't biased or ncompetent..... THEN it must be inciteful media coverage part II

Whats the bet that this flog added the "dirty club" bit just to sensationalise his tweet

I am presuming this is a joke?

 

[amazingjoshy]

Lads best turn up and get the win then....

I'm not sure why it's an issue

Sam McClure should just stick to doing his wallet wizard ads.

It's not a joke.

Been reported elsewhere.

Another example of McGowan being ridiculously over the top but it won't matter anyway because we will win.

Seems there's a double meaning to his nickname 'scoop', I keep one next to the cat's litter box.

 

[woosha24]

Care factor zero. If we win then we go back to Queensland and it doesnt matter.

If we lose then it doesnt matter anyway.

What are the odds the media at large run with this and spread it like wildfire? Anything to drum up controversy, especially if it can give Collingwood the "much-maligned underdogs" tag.

Astounds me that Robbo still gets a TV gig.

"Well Gerard, we started the season with 18 teams and now we've got 9 left".

There's a Robbo/bourbon/seeing double joke in there somewhere.

That shrivelled up rasin /cats arse face on footy classified having another winge about the eagles getting a home final.

Yep Nick it’s just started being an advantage this year. Never normally an advantage. Let alone a big advantage.

Hutchy jumped in as well.

Apparently it's insanity to be playing a final in WA.

My Instagram is full of posts about how hard it is for Collingwood for 1 week. 7afl leading the charge as usual.

Could you imagine if the cup was won by interstate sides for 5 years in a row? There'd be a f*cken enquiry.

Could you imagine if the cup was won by interstate sides for 5 years in a row? There'd be a f*cken enquiry.

After Brisbane won it from 2001-2003, Port (2004), Sydney (2005) and the mighty EAGLES in 2006, there literally WAS an inquiry.

Interstate AFL dominance leads to investigation

The AFL has launched an investigation into the recent failure of Victorian clubs to win a grand final.

www.abc.net.au

"The AFL has launched an investigation into the recent failure of Victorian clubs to win a grand final.
It has been seven years since a Victorian-based club won a premiership, when the Bombers triumphed in 2000.
Collingwood is the only club to have made it into the grand final since, losing consecutive grand finals to Brisbane in 2002 and 2003.
AFL football operations manager Adrian Anderson told ABC TV's Offsiders program the League wanted to know why.
"We are a little bit concerned in recent years the non-Victorian clubs have definitely had a greater success," he said.
"We're interested to look at the structural differences between the Victorian clubs and Victorian competition underneath the AFL to see if there's any structural issues related to that.
"In recent years we've clearly seen non-Victorian clubs as a whole under-perform in comparison with the interstate clubs.
"And it may be a cyclical issue but what we're looking at is are there any structural issues that might explain that, or perhaps the end result of the work we do is that there aren't."

"It's Ours" = Fake news

"It's West Coast" = Fact

 

[InTheWings]

No such inquiry in 2012 or 2018 however, after Vic teams won it for 5 seasons in a row from 2007-2011 and 2013-2017.

In fact, in the 14 years since our 2006 triumph the GF has only been won by non-Vic teams twice, Syd (2012) and our mighty 2018 win.

Does anyone know was it a fixture back in the early 2000's I seem to remember it being a more equatible draw. Play team's twice then the next year you play other teams you didn't play twice. Except for the local derbies?

Sort of, it doesn't work out perfectly which is why some matchups would occur more often (ie the AFL's favourite marquee games between Victorian sides). Over 3 seasons it's close to playing 14 sides 4 times, your rival 6 times, and a sprinkling of those 14 sides elevated to 5 games.

With 18 teams in the comp you need a cycle of 4 seasons in order to fairly play everyone twice, which is why the AFL adopted the 'bands of 6 teams' from the previous season to work out the double ups in the following season (2 double ups in your own band, 1 from each other band, 1 random/home state rival/marquee double up). Of course this means if you are a club on the up it is better to finish 7th than 6th and cop a supposed softer draw in order for a flag tilt the following season.

I prefer the finish 8th, win a classic on the road elimination final after the siren in extra time, build up a sense of belief you can win from anywhere and cop a top 6 fixture and then win the whole ******* thing a year later over the finish 7th and get a soft draw method!

Well done WA. However if the loose they deserve to be hidden for two weeks.

There's no such thing as Vic Bias though gaiz, ask FreeTKent.

Yall are crazy. So many flat earthers in one thread.
