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

[Grahame]

It’s only a matter of time before they do 7 vs 10, 8 vs 9 for finals.

I wouldn’t be stunned if it was a thing by 2022 in the AFL.

They won’t be able to resist 2 more ‘finals’. Money for jam and god knows they want all the money they can get right now.

The media will love it because they get paid by the clicks or the ratings, which both go up for the finals

Solution 1: If those rude nonVic teams just knew their place and finished 10-18th then we could have a proper finals series. That way we could get all the real AFL sides playing off in the finals. Plus we could also expand it to top 10 and still not have to include all those upstarts.

Solution 2: If that's not acceptable then the flag goes to the Vic team who goes the deepest in the finals.

Of course to show we are not small minded we have to acknowledge that the upstarts do provide some good practice matches for the real teams.

Can anyone post the Q and A with Trevor Nisbett in The West today?

Apart from saying Willie was never even close to being sacked, not a lot interesting in there.

Classic Damo!

Classic Damo!

a) trolling WC
b) doesn’t remember/read what he’s done previous weeks

is there a c)?

Purhpahl’s ‘If/Then’ column is kind of genius.

Short enough for internet addled folks to read. Snarky and with no internal consistency so you can make it up as you go and everyone gets a turn to be outraged.

I reckon it would be close to the most read article every week on AFL.com.au and it’s basically a Twitter thread with a set format.

If literally everything Damo has ever done didn’t indicate the opposite, I’d say we had a Mensa on our hands.

Not surprised anymore by The Sunday Footy Show but how do they expect to be taken seriously when Peter Wilson’s “cork in the ocean” goal doesn’t even make this list? No instead it’s some obscure Gary Ablett SoO at number 1…

Didn’t win a flag & his wife got rooted by his best mate, I’d be bitter.

Yeah there's no way he forgot it, probably just wants to forget it ever happened.

Good read, I would have thought all teams would conduct an end of season review. Seems weird to not conduct one tbh. Maybe thats half their issue


Consulting from one of the big4 costs ~50k per month for the most basic grad student to come and knock out a report. I can only imagine the obscene costs of the bizzare metric used here.

Money well spent for sure...

Yep and it's virtually copy and paste of the previous bullshit report findings

Just listening to ABC radio pre game discussion of Ess v Hawthorn and they spoke to Mitch Cleary about the Eagles. He thought we would give Shuey another week in the WAFL and didn’t seem to know whether Rioli had actually been suspended or was returning from a suspended suspension. Hopeless! The guy doesn’t know anything, just guessing and making it up.

Surprised to see Langdon‘s name is not mentioned in this article!

d) work experience boy that writes the column for the flog proving that no one proof reads it because it's about an unimportant team!!

I listened to that. He just mis-spoke and they clarified. It wasn't an error per se and he certainly knew what was going on.

Negative comments create positive impacts in football. This reminds me of the 2018 Robert Walls‘ comment.

None of the knobs in media were going to do it, so woosha stepped up to the plate.
Premiership confirmed.

To be fair, we need to finish top 4, and to do that we probs need to win all 9 games, including lions away last round.

Lions in Brisbane at the Gabbatoir is the hardest fixture. We got thumped there easily in our last 2 matches.
