Mega Thread The Media Thread

[Deathly]

Just checked the thread on the scandals board (which was a mistake). Over twice as many posts as anyone else. Jilted lover much?

You're looking into it too much, clearly doesn't have an agenda against the FFC or Ross Lyon

 

[Righteo]

And that's just on the sub-forum! You'll see the same figures in the myriad Ross Lyon/Freo threads on the main board.

Whether the headline has any substance or not may be revealed in the coming days or weeks.
More generally I have zero confidence in the leadership of Gillon in any area and women's rights would be a short suit.
Certainly an elitist boys' club product.
It won't surprise me if the probe is shown to be woefully unprofessional and inadequate.

Short suit?

The Herald Sun. (It was a joke in reference to that Daniel Chick interview the Sun had done months prior but allected to publish right before the Grand Final.)

Why are you on our board?

Poor bloke must have a bit of time on his hands now he's no longer having or organise whip-arounds for his favourite sex pests and dwarf arsonists.

Fox footy just told me that our game today was our lowest score in our history. I know they wrongly mentioned this during the game, but ffs the game finished hours ago now. Couldn’t they check their facts by now?

Maybe it was our lowest mcg score?

Lowest against Tigers apparently.

Mark Duffield (eagles media) - another great article trying to drip this news story along into another week.

Go back to your roots mark - reporting about footy! and leave the gutter journalism to the herald sun - I'm not buying another paper until the west editors pull there sports team into line and they start reporting about the footy again - Any chance we could get an article about all our debutants and how well they are playing??

Mark Duffield is a great journalist. He is normally unbiased, and I see nothing in the article to suggest he is being biased. He does have a job to do.

I agree. Rosich did a great job getting Ross, but Ross hasn't done much to develop the list since 2015. The recruiters have been ok, but the development not so much!

2 years is just to long to develop a young side. The kids should be fully developed after a couple of senior games and tearing up the comp. We want instant results. First year kids and the inexperienced boys should be winning all of our games, no excuses. 3 wins out of 7 with losses to the 2 top sides is just not good enough. Injuries to 5 of the best 22 , bah we should be able to work our way through that. I've had a gut full , the microwave is switched on and ready to go.

Salim, questions must be asked of your fearless leader. No-one is untouchable.
And I don't think sack Ross, but there are many assistant's that I would be questioning if they have a future. There are good candidates in the WAFL that could do just as good or way better than our current muppets. Darren Harris from Claremont would be high on the list

I am not sure it is Ross Lyon's fault we have no good recruits between 2011 and 2015.
Every year we have 1 good pick and 4 spuds, we badly need a year with 3 or 4 players come off.

I feel the last few years have been an improvement, but the shine on a few of those recruits could wear off as they age and do not develop.

Lyon does not pick the recruits, it is not his fault.

16: Tom Sheridan, Calder Cannons[45]

That's funny. I certainly wasn't proud of Freo when he was running around. Maybe the St Kilda 'blame Ross' for everything rubbed off on him.

2 years in developing a young side is a drop in the ocean. How can you make an assessment on the progress of young players after a few games or a couple of seasons. Lets get to the bye , get the injured back on track and see how we go in the last half of the season. Questions are asked of Ross and all coaches 24/7 .

Not enough on the assistants imo. They have been shit for a while now.

Wot.
One could argue since end of 2015 development has been all that's happened.
