Toast Making Their Mark

[Coaster2012]

This is actually pretty similar to how I feel. I realise its tough watching small snippets, but my major takeaways (5 episodes in):

1. Adam Simpson and Leon Cameron seem similar - Ranting and raving and swearing and with Simpson a bit of superiority complex.
2. I hate how Cameron treats his players.
3. Cogs seems a different cat that's for sure, but i like him alot.
4. Rory Sloane is a good bloke and players love him. Perhaps should have been skipper sooner? Their coaching staff though (Nicks aside) look completely clueless, especially Godden.
5. Stewy Dew is a star. Like Hardwick, super calm and composed and very methodical. Show real love for their players. Process is so important to them both.
6. Nic Nat - just a funny entertaining dude. Similar to Eddie Betts. Very hard not to like them both.

I find it odd you think Simpson and Cameron are similar. Where is Simpson abusing his players? Literally didnt see one instance of it. I just saw a coach who respected his players and who respected him back. They have literally nothing in common in this show besides their love of the F word.

well when did they tell anything about Geelong, a Grand Finalist!?

only in the very last ep, none that is of upclose indepth footage like the other featured clubs, they could only use match footage + Scott into the coaching box. As I said before, only Rich/WC could carry the story line to the end even if losing the GF. Producers hit jackpot with Richmond winning.

What you want to suddenly switch to indepth look at Bris/Port/Gee ? perhaps yes at the start of the Prelims so that could give them maybe 2 eps.

So 2500 hours of footage and what did Geelong get for upclose stuff ? Virtually nothing. Cat fans please don't let this put you off. I've watched and liked/disliked stuff from other clubs...didn't watch with one eye.

I doubt if they can have camera crews following around all clubs, no budget, and you'd probably just end up with 30s soundbites from each and everyoone for inclusivity sake instead of storylines.

understand now ?

They followed 6 teams. Why does Geelong NEED a storyline?

I know you want to make it all about Richmond, but the show doesn’t NEED to finish up having followed the eventual premier, or Grand Finalist.

you're an idiot, a poster argued there's 2500 hours of footage, they could have had storyline FOR Geelong(i correct myself, for other storylines), I say no, go back and read. didn't I say Even if they (Rich/WC) LOST the GF ?

are you blind ?

Post #349, can you read the BOLD part ? what is it with posters ? have they no need of their brains anymore ?

2500 hours from 6 teams. None of which were Geelong.

that is what I'm saying, hence...no other storylines were possible !!! therefore Geelong missed out

 

[faible]

that is what I'm saying, hence...no other storylines were possible !!! therefore Geelong missed out

And maybe this year they’ll follow both teams that make the GF. Or none of them.

It’s a weird line you’re running with. TAHNK GOD 4 RIHCMUND.

Classic.

 

[CaptchaProofBot]

so I'm asking andleanback, with 2500 hours of footage for other storylines....where is it for Geelong ? (I say there was no camera crew following around Geelong FC)

Now if you owen78 wanna butt in and accuse me of being one-eyed Richmond...learn to read first.

have you caught up to basic comprehension yet?

You seem to be struggling to understand they didn’t show Geelong because they didn’t follow Geelong.

RICHMIND SAVED THE SHOW DEN

You dont need someone winning to make this a successful documentary. What are trying to say?

Too many posts didn’t read... but don’t have Amazon prime but a friends managed to get copies and give them to me on a usb.

Looking forward to checking it out. What are the chances that Amazon don’t stop at just
Making these documentaries, and grow their hat into ring as a broadcaster.. would really kill off uncle rups foxtel

They are making a play for NFL rights, they already have the Thursday night games an are pushing for more and it looks like they may be getting ready to bid on AFL in the near future.

channelnews : Is Amazon Prime Getting Set To Bid For AFL Rights?

The streaming industry in Australia is undergoing a major transition as local players struggle to hold onto content as foreign players enter the market, at the same time sports codes are talking to new players who are set to take a tilt at rights when they next come up for review, the big one...

I love my soulless entity crafted with the soul intention to increase the AFL’s market share coach and players. We will probably waste our undeserved handouts as we previously have.

A more realistic snapshot.

That certainly helped. 4 of the 6 teams followed missed the finals. WCE went out in finals week 1. If Richmond lost the semi to St.Kilda or the prelim to Port the doco ends there. The producers would probably show some boring crap like exit interviews or clubs finding their way back home just to wrap it up. Same crap they bored us with during the 1st 6 episodes.

Richmond provided the documentary the climax it needed to be a reasonable doco. Even Richmond losing the GF at least would have provided an insight as to what a losing Grand Finalist deals with. But the fact Richmond won the GF gave the doco that feel good ending.

I’m sure Craig “bellyache” Bellamy doesn’t give many sprays.

Fair call. Sorry I didn’t describe it appropriately. I feel there is an unnecessary amount of swearing from Simpson and Cameron.

"The whole thing was sh*t boring until Richmond won the flag" says Richmond supporter.

Very out of character for a Richmond supporter to think such a thing.
