Vic bias and the media

[Carringbush2010]

West Australians attracted to a West Australian team in a national competition - where our best players are competing - in the premier league in the land

It’s not too hard to fathom is it??

I can assure you many people viewed West Coast as a representative side and were loving the thought of dragging the Cup out West, overcoming all of the obstacles set in front of them. How you think West Coast should’ve been viewed is irrelevant

The hypothetical league was an attempt to explain to you how fans would migrate towards a new team in a different comp. You can’t categorically say Vics would never jump ship to a new team when in fact history says they more than likely would. It happened in WA, SA and would be inevitable in Victoria also.

You didn't read all my post, I asked why jump on to something brand new before you knew what it is? Seems it's an us v vic mentality at least in your view. Ok knock yourself out but at the end of the day this is not representation footy or SOO, it's a competition between 18 teams and has zero to do with "we must beat the vics".

You still have not explained why I would jump ship from Collingwood for a brand new team I haven't heard of before. That is utterly preposterous - you're dreaming up theories of "if the shoe was on the other foot, how would you feel". So what? That theory was / is never gonna happen because my club along with 10 others is in a market that outnumbers all the other footy states combined by more than a million people. Purely hypothetical.

We knew what it was. A WA team in a competition containing the best players in the country. Not sure how you can’t get your head around it.

It is funny how West Coast is a locality that encompasses half of a continent. Why not just upgrade it to The Australian Eagles or even the World Eagles, get 100 million supporters and then brag about how big you are as a club and how you 'represent'.

So your view is that wc is a representative team in professional competition. Thanks for your answer.

This was the clever thing marketing did, come up with a name that would get the whole state behind it.

A fan blog is categorised as Vic centric media now?
More like vic centric footy fan.
I guess Vic fans like WA fans or SA fans might tend to be biased.

I see you can't read either, show us all this denial you read about, remember you just said 1/2 the thread.

29 pages, that would make it 14 and a half pages of denial, so let's set it.

Nah it's just the coast. Not the interior. Just the coast. Perth is on the coast.

When is the hour by hour media speculation going to start about whether or not Jarrad McVeigh will get a farewell game?

I wonder if they talk about that up there in Sydney.

If not, maybe they don't care enough up there.

2023 writers HB MEYERS HB has been around and seen a bit. He’s possibly been around too long and seen a little too much. Some would call him jaded, and others would call him any number of unflattering names. He is a passionate Hawks fan but is highly critical of them a little too often for some...

Did you bother to read the two parts?

It's actually glowing in the assessment of the Eagles where they are now and notes that they have shown how to turn a culture around to the point of being one of the best run clubs in the caper.

Brian Taylor was born in WA yet he is one of the biggest pro vic tools in the caper

A South Australian, Port fan, is Vic biased?
