The AFL have the Victorian/Western Australia/ and South Australian media in their pockets and them journos will lose their AFL accreditation if they put their name to a story that the AFL doesn't like. Journos shouldn't be afraid to tell the truth, but the AFL struggles with the truth at times if it doesn't suit their agenda.Anyone else a little curious as to the media’s unwillingness to go hard on Melbourne for their little bit of gtab-arse in the huddle on Saturday, and then Bennell’s quarantine breach also over the weekend?
When you consider how much grief Short/Vlastuin/Chol and Stack/CCJ got for similar indiscretions (especially from the likes of Garry Lyon, Kane Cornes and even Hugh friggin Rimington!!!) the double standards at work here are pretty hard to miss.
I would’ve thought the scandal factor would be even more escalated amongst the muckrakers given that these specific kinds of dickhead behaviour have already been addressed? Apparently not.
