Or espousing the great success of “Gather Around”. Or how successful their rule changes are. Not many analytical voices or alternate views mainstream.
Exactly.
I may be wrong but I believe there was a lot of criticism of Dion Prestia's kicking in 2017 as well?
This is a very small thing but the media not doing homework is one thing that grinds my gears
The AFL site has a summary of AFL listed players performances in the lower leagues every weekend. For the last 2 weeks the stats on Jacob Bauer have been listed and followed by something like " but he failed to kick a goal".
A small bit of homework would show that he has played the last 2 matches in the backline. It is really not that hard.

Saw a thing about Gather Round on the Alf website today. They want all clubs to have specially designed jumpers for it next year. FFS!
Yes, but I'm still wondering why he has suddenly been swung down back - when Lynch is out long-term and Jack is either struggling or needs resting.
Anyone know what the thinking is? Simply due to VFL injuries to Biggie et al? Surely we need to be preparing Bauer to step up and have a crack at being JR's replacement. And Miller can play down back usually too.
Don’t know why now Leon but I think I am right in saying he was a back who was only moved forward in the last year or so before we picked him
The media are still d!cks. They click bait tiger players, tiger game plans, tiger lists for a reason.
We matter.
We provide a suitable enemy.
The last 10 years has been really hard on these d!cks because they hate our success.
We are still relevant.
Embrace it.

Cannot have any media employed by AFL no matter how “intelligent” or unbiased they may appear to be. Need to take our chances with the commercial media and ABC.
The AFL does have its own media department but so do most professional sporting organisations.
Cricket Australia has one as an example
I am not sure there is anything wrong with that is there?
A lot of the puff pieces on the website are their work.
Was responding to Tigerdangerous who doesn’t like current AFL media journals but seemed to want them replaced by journos with more integrity. My view is that a journo with a high priority on integrity would never work for the entity they report on.
Parrot this morning saying we should get rid of tackling in footy.
I wouldn't normally pay attention but given he's an AFL mouthpiece pushing the corporate line it has me genuinely worried that there's something in it.
Lawsuits have the AFL shitting themselves & it's changing our game.
My interest in basketball & soccer grows.

If they continue down this path, then it will take the contact out of the game. That’ll be it’s death knell.
KMac would be an instant superstar of the game. Can't bump, can't tackle, KMac b complete zen master of the technique of flap n shove would totally dominate the comp.

Lost my interest in NBL when Melbourne Tigers got shafted but way AFL is heading might be time to head back to the NBL
People will listen to that and laugh. But I've been saying for a while major major changes are coming. I don't know how long it will take. But right now, players generally trying to play the game as it's always been played, combined with media hysteria and total confusion or worse from the games powers, and the reality of lawsuits and actual long term physical damage that is done to some.....it's untenable.
