Great insights from a couple of leading AFL journalists. Worth a listen to tiger fans.

It would be great to be able to travel back in time. I'd like to walk in at the conclusion of that discussion and say to Lloyd, "Hi, I'm from the future. Dion Prestia is now a three-time Richmond premiership player, and Jacob Townsend is playing for Essendon. But don't worry, he's a premiership player, too. See ya."
LLoyd would be on the edge of his seat with that. Essendon won a premiership, big smile breaks out on his face, and you'd have to turn around and go, "oh and he won that at the Tiges too, Essendon are still really *smile* but winning trade week"
In fairness to reporting community, the little I have read or viewed via the net the pundits and scribes have been grudgingly positive in their respect for our achievement this season even Robbo and Barrett. It must hurt them to do so but at least they have done so
Took them till after the GF to say anything even remotely positive about us.
Thanks for posting that, it’s fascinating to watch back now.
Exactly. They were death-riding us for most of the season. Barrett was still saying the era was over before the prelim. Nobody challenged Hartlett's call about people wanting to see our season ended because they all agreed.
Given how 2020 panned out, with the hubs, short games, etc. How could you say our era would be ended if we lost the PF or the GF?
This was a weird year and if we had not won, a reasonable comment would be that that 2020 was not a year you could make a medium term judgement from.
Just silly clickbait thinking from Barrett and the rest of them, also very short term thinking, as in, no-one will remember what these morons write more than a week after they have written it. While this is mostly true, the internet means that we don't need to remember their idiocy to be able to bring it back up.
I don't think this period will go down as a period of quality journalism, and not just on footy. One hopes that the quality of journalism rises again some time soon. Certainly some of the sites like The Mongrel Punt and a few others does give some hope.

The other so called experts have found weakness in our side.
This is the side that has buried 3 sides in GFs.
If we have weakness what do the 17 others have?
I can't see who beats us, especially now we are back at the G.
The coward Ralph tipped someone else.
Thats good.
Alot of the others have been sucked in by the pensioners at Geelong and they think Danihiar will stand up for an whole season.
Brisbane will be the GWS of 2021
Oh well atleast we can save some money in September this year.
No doubt it’s impossible to predict injuries, draws, lower teams improvement, however could we be more unlucky then have Robbo and the stats man tip us , maybe after all Shockings failed attempts to stop the juggernaut that is the RFC this was his last resort

The bigger impact Mr Burnside, will be your cursing of the How Now Brown Dow last week ! Kid was going so well too...
Sad but true, I still feel like my Dean Polo enthusiasm may have some what curbed what should have been a 300 game career
Looks like the Dusty one's gotta carry the mob of mid range average players again this year. Five bloody nuffers in the 20 to 40 range n a couple of nearly almost made the lists.
If it wasn't for Dusty a Tige would starve.
