Have to say I was pretty disappointed during the finals, even as a supporter of the team that probably copped the most bandwagoners in the media. Why is the vic media so obsessed with talking up the Vic clubs and ignoring the interstate ones? Yes, I know interstate it is the opposite but Victoria is the hub of the competition and surely the media should hold itself to a higher standard? It has been ridiculous the amount of journos waffling on about the 'missed free' to Maynard and barely even talking about a mammoth effort from the Eagles who went undefeated in Victoria whilst missing NN and Gaff for the finals.
Even the majority of fans in Victoria are happy that the Eagles won, we'd all much rather not read about the Pies winning! I don't mean to turn this into a Collingwood hate thread because it wasn't just the Pies who got all the media limelight through the finals (We probably had more than them before the prelim), it is just so ridiculous that the media still holds onto and promotes this rubbish.
