Wow is this the first time Matty DeBoer has been called "exciting"?

Good to see a Melbourne media outlet acknowledge all the top 10 picks Carlton had on the field compared to us as well as the experience difference:

It maybhave just been to sink the boots in to Carlton but I'll take it.

Definitely Carlton bashing but doesn't make it any less valid.

10 top 10 picks is ridiculous.

The Sounding Board podcast discussing how West Coast have infiltrated the WA media and controlled the Andrew Gaff coverage.

Worth a listen.

Brad Hardie having a dig of who we’ve beaten

“Fremantle’s win over Carlton was just a win. Good to have no doubt, but worth remembering the Dockers have now beaten the Blues twice, Essendon (going very ordinary at the time), the Suns (hopeless), St Kilda and the Bulldogs (both not much chop), Adelaide (like Essendon, travelling poorly at the time) and Port (inexplicably played into Freo’s hands).”

Love how he says we beat Essendon - who were going ordinary at the time - when they beat Adelaide round 1 (premiership favs) and we played round 2...

Bradley Hardie is below moron, whatever that is, god only knows.

You would think the editor would just tell him to get a different song sheet sooner or later, simply regurgitating the same article over and over again and being constantly negative is getting boring.

How long before Hackdorn comes out and says Lloyd is leaving due to poor culture as opposed to getting a higher profile job and more opportunities back in Victoria

What station is that? If you listened in, anything of note?

Was on at about 6:30pm. 6pr with Langdon and Hasleby. Probably be up on a website later.

Not sure if Walters was discussed but I missed the intro. When I got to it, there was a discussion about Fyfe - medicos make the final call - seems he's progressed to the point of being considered to play- but has to get through training sessions to complete rehab and be a chance vs Geelong. Hamling may be available and he's hopeful Bennell will to return to football this week, even though he admitted he had been a bit too optimistic on the last update - pretty vague news there for the immediate future but keen to persist long term.

Didn't want to hint if a decision was made on the future for Sandilands, only that he's trying to get up and play in the final round.

Don't know if he was already asked this stuff on Ch 7 and whether he gave more definitive answers.

Other stuff was more about how the list is developing and about Brad Lloyd leaving.

 

[Crippa]

Can't be sure but sounds as though Sandi might be finishing up

Whatever the media say about our onfield performance this week we thoroughly deserve it .

Just wish that we could get an insightful and well researched article with possible solutions, all Perthnow come up with these days is printing Twitter comments whenever we lose.

According to Barrett\Hutchinson on their podcast it is quite common for "journalists" to have fake Twitter accounts so they can "quote" them. Not always and definitely never admitted but apparently it does go on.

Those two are fakes from start to finish so a fake Twitter account would be on par for them and their fake journalism.

The podcast has actually softened my attitude to Hutchison, now I just don't like him.

 

[Tommo]

I know it’s a Worst Article, but I’m looking for any comments from the club at the moment, and it quotes Fyfe a bit more than the article on the club website

The club's social channels have been awfully quiet compared to other weeks win or lose.

 

[freo_leo29]

The club really should have saved those signings for this week, or atleast done Ballas and Bennell last week and left off with some good news for this week.

Spose we will be getting a couple retirements this week instead though.

Yeah, it's Hackdorn, but some here may find this of interest;

What's interesting exactly? Just a typical beatup from Hagdorn.

Grist for the Ross-haters!

 

[Purplrrr]

Fine. Yes, have an independent review. But then he just goes on to say what apparently the review will say and rehash how terrible we are. Rather a nothing piece.

Not that we don't deserve to be kicked after 133 but there's not an original insight in there
