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

[Campaigner for good]

He's right this week though.
We really do need an away win.
If only to stop the narrative about us.

Having said that, we're an easy target.
Brisbane are "officially back" after beating Collingwood and Essendon

He's right about the away win. What was superfluous and inflammatory was this part: "The only way to stop the negative narrative they loathe..."

It makes it seem as though the Eagles try to control the press in the same way that China and Russia do

I must admit, I wasn't unhappy when I heard that Brad Scott once had Barrett in a headlock at a boozer.

wow I can not see you conclusion

I mean it is ok to say we need to win away. That is a fair and balanced observation.

It is inciteful to say that the Eagles abhor the media talking about our need to win away. When has an Eagles spokesperson said anything about the balance of media coverage on our away record in 2021?

Thought that was Bevo at the Brownlow, or has more than one AFL coach physically assaulted him?

I'd like to see Stewie Dew sit on him.

Hutchy was telling the story in his podcast.
I'm pretty sure it was in Las Vegas.

Everyone's mate Jon Ralph calling the upcoming WCE v Dockers game a Showdown at half time of the Haw v Ade game.

Remember this is the newspaper who published a pic of an ex-staffer for One Nation doing a stunt "Anzac Day march" pretending to be a Veteran and put it on their front page. Then didn't issue an apology or correction.

The West is basically worse than toilet paper.

Maybe Hedwards was holding a towel whilst being outmuscled? If so, that is fantastically accurate reporting.

Oscar Allen: Relished defensive task

Should be - “Bent Taberner over”

 

[amazingjoshy]

I mean he's trying to be complimentary, but someone wanna let Kingy know where Oscar played yesterday

 

[Truckosaurus]

Also pretty sure Darling ran Cox off his feet yesterday.

He also played 100% game time.

Also didn't see Darling roaming further than 70m's up the field quite a few times.

Hmmm... King is usually one of the better ones with his observations, but this is wildly off the mark.

The thing that makes the key forwards of West Coast hard to defend is that they do cover a lot of ground, providing marking targets high up the wing and then darting back inside the attacking 50.

Also quotes running 12km a game - Darling clocks up figures like that regularly and Allen did exactly that against Collingwood.

Disappointing comment really.

He's from the old school special comments and analysis group that makes observations on vibes rather than actual footage and stats. There's still a fair few like that, or just as bad only from stats.

Video shows AFL star Paddy McCartin’s sickening alleged punch attack

Video has revealed the moment former No. 1 draft pick Paddy McCartin lost the plot during a VFL game on Saturday.

www.news.com.au

"Reporter Tom Browne on Monday told Triple M McCartin is likely looking at a suspension between four and eight weeks. “It can only be described as a pretty wild, Andrew Gaff, Barry Hall-like punch,” he said."

Surely Gaff has a case for slander.

Well no, because he was found guilty.

Are you joking?

 

[Smeg Head]

McCartin had averaged 20 disposals and 8.5 marks per game through the competition's first two weeks, but suffered a hand injury later in Saturday's game that forced him from the field.

 

[Chris_6678]

Surprised he is still playing with all those head knocks.
