What the &*%$k – what is going on with the continual media bashing of the Tigers??? Another bloody headline “Arrogant Tigers Punished” is a tired and predictable punchline by Cornes that he’s used before. But what pisses me off is its on the AFL website which along with its daily hypocrisy about the evils of betting, then collects revenue from betting advertising, should show no bias towards any side for or against.
The incompetent, loud, desperate for a headline, media is running the show these days and their agenda is obvious, and from a Tigers perspective insidious and biased. The AFL lies its way from one self-inflicted mess to another.
The umpiring is a shambles – and the concept of incorrect disposal (being throwing the bloody ball) doesn't exist if you wear a Bulldogs, Collingwood or Cats jumper. It’s that simple. The cost of going to the footy and enjoying a pie, one lousy pie, costs a Kings ransom and that’s called rorting. Something that’s out of control in this country.
The football media is unprofessional, incompetent, lazy and running amok. Deliberating creating a sh$32t storm to get a headline. And their prejudiced commentary and smart-arse, snide comments about a Richmond player, and Lynch in particular, will and does influence the adjudication of a Tigers game.
The club needs to draw a line in the sand with the media and the AFL. And if that doesn’t work go public with examples of the bias and incompetence and cope the fine. The club needs to defend its players, and how they are treated by the footy media and by association the AFL. I was pleased to see Hardwick finally express what we all know. More of that coach.
