Gee.... Josh Jenkins must have some pretty good pics of Damo... 3rd week running he's tipping him to be THE DIFFERENCE!

So, Damo is all in on Geelong. Watch him backtrack and say how they were too old, why did they recruit Jenkins and Steven both 30+, why didn’t they get more games into kids, why did they retain Lachie Henderson when he was on the scrap heap etc etc etc when they fail.

Geelong just hang around like a bad smell. When are they gonna fall off the cliff like Hawthorn and Sydney? Maybe we can give them one last slapping in a final and send them on their way.

A couple of gems from Robbo in his likes/dislikes. “Essendon fans, stay patient, one day they’ll put it all together.”

And on Gold Coast he’s getting a little bit ahead of himself: “My God they are going to be a good team for a long time”

Oh, and this one on Adelaide: “Let’s chill on the bashing of the Crows. They’re in a wretched position but their plan is in place”. Why? Elliott Himmelberg and Lachlan Scholl.

Thanks - have done the same. If anything just to get it off my chest as I am still fuming about it. No chance Fox Footy do anything about it though. The fact Dwayne Russell still has a job there says it all.

Also - *smile* the media. I haven't watched any footy shows for weeks and have tried to steer clear of the media in general.

PRE is my source of AFL and Richmond news and that is all I need.

Did you look at Lyon and Brown's
Face when Riewodlt was defending us.

First negative, Lyon * 'Have a look at those numbers, will they stack up?"

Positive Riewodlt * 'Regardless of the number's they were leading at 3qtr time'

Negative Brown *"Bah bah bah but port kicked 11-45, There poor kicking kept them in the game".

"Are you still sticking with them?'
Healy negative.

Healy wants the GF in Perth.
Im not sure why he has always had a love for WC.
Did you notice they didn't show those 3 shocking decision's paid against Carlton?
Lyon sort of wants Collingwood but deep down he just dosent want us to win it.
Now with Brown. No Brisbane last night, the silence was defending.

The funny part was when they went to the bloke for the Sportsbet odds.
We were 2nd favourite. :rotfl1
They couldn't believe it.
If they announce the GF will be in Queensland or NSW, we will automatically go favourites.
WC will drop.

It's amazing how biased they are when thier job is to be impartial. another watch is WCE will end H&A in QLD as well.

How come no one ever said that about us in 2010? Until we won a game it was all about piling into the Tigers and laughing about how clever they were for sinking the boots in.

The media is the reason for me despising aspects of the game or certain players. In the Richmond game, they kept going on about how great a run Richmond were getting with the free kicks. Even during the half time break they were still talking about it. At half time the free kick count was 5 to Richmond and 10 to Port Adelaide. By the end of the game it was 11 to 22. So many times Port should have been pinged for holding the ball and no mention of it from the commentators. All I heard is how lucky Richmond were with the free kicks that were going there way. Why not just once just use the actual stats and read out the free kick count you flogs.

Now why do I despise aspects of football due to the media? Its because they set agendas like the one above without using facts. Why does no one ever talk about how West Coast has been in the competition for 35 years and for only 1 of those years, they lost the free kick count (and only barely lost it that year)? If they touch on this topic, they will rattle something about how thy get the advantage at home, and the "noise of affirmation" sways the umpires. I'd buy that, except if they come to the MCG and play Richmond or other Melbourne teams, they STILL win the free kick count despite the noise of affirmation the other way around. West Coast still gets a good run away from home, besides it should even out due to playing half at home and half away. 35 years of data though is damning.

If they ever address the Richmond having the worst free kick received to the ones given away in the AFL, the media say its because of Richmond's style of football. However the Bulldogs during their flag year played a similar style as do Collingwood now and both those teams always win the free kick count each season, and win it by a large margin. The case in point was the final game in 2018. Richmond vs the Bulldogs. Richmond had secured top spot and were playing "Bruise free football" that day to ensure no injuries. Richmond got 10 free kicks to the Bulldogs 20 that day.

The media's hate of Richmond is evident in their agendas against their players too. Any time Richmond scratch someone, the media are constantly all over it, replaying it again and again and saying that he will probably get a week or 2 for that. To me the worst case was Tyrone Vickery against Cox. Cox hits Tyrone with the elbow with force into his sternum. Flogs like Wayne Carey said "Oh that's a part of football, he will be OK." Elbowing people in the sternum is part of football? How Cox didn't get charged for that was the medias doing. I'd like to go up to everyone on the tribunal as well as Carey himself and whack them in the sternum with my elbow using the same force Cox did and say if they believe Cox didn't have anything to answer? The worst thing was when Tyrone whacked Cox, I don't think he meant it. He wasn't even looking at the player and flayed his arm in retaliation to the elbow he received and to keep cox behind him in the Ruck contest. It so happened that Cox lowered his head at the time and then he and everyone acted like Tyrone shot Bambi!

Now the reason I despise some players is also the medias doing. They protect certain players ie Selwood and Goodes. I've seen these guys do so many dogs acts on the footy field, yet the media don't even mention that they might be in trouble for their actions. I was at the MCG and right in front of me Selwood was on top of a Richmond player behind play and just whack him a few times. I thought he would get a few weeks for that for sure especially as they are more severe about behind the play infringements (the ball was a good 80m away). The media didn't even mention it.

The media decided to target Alex Rance for that time he staged. They were even talking about it games later, and in one of those games I saw Justin Westoff stage not just once but several times in that game, and they say nothing. They just kept talking about Alex Rance and how he staged that one time.

Talking about Alex Rance, I was there that sad night vs Carlton where he did his knee. Carlton didn't have much to cheer about that game, but the biggest cheer the Carlton fans did for the entire night was when Rance did his knee and it was shown on the replay. Did the AFL media bring this up? No of course not. But if it happened to Adam Goodes and especially if it was Richmond fans doing the cheering, they would have set the agenda that the cheering of the injury was very sad and was done because everyone was racist. We would have been seeing that replay for the entire season.

I could go on and on. The medias constant bias and the agendas they set are the cause of me not liking aspects of this great game. I used to watch all the games I could, now I pretty much just watch the Tigers games only because I can't stomach the media's crap that goes with it.

They were saying he has the best winning % ever, for a coach with 200+ games.
We don't play this game to win flags??

They must still give out the McClelland trophy,
Scott is no better then Hinkley.
Gets them up and then watches them crash and burn.
How many times are we going to watch Geelong Capitulate in the finals before he starts to cop it?

IMO this is why no1 rates them as a contender. They peak during H&A & don't have that extra gear needed during Finals.
