Footy media , love’m or hate’ m ?

[Little Ziggyadee]

Yep. All season and right up to the finals that’s what I kept hearing. I thought at the time, beauty because the year before a lot of people whinged about our ‘unfair’ advantage of, you know, playing our home games on our home ground in the lead up and including the finals. So all season heard everyone say it would be the best ever. That is until we won it. Then it was an”asterisk” premiership because you know, season interruptions, shortened season, shortened match times etc
But to me it was the fairest season. Everyone played each other once, mainly neutral grounds. The fact we had to play Brisbane on their home ground and travel to Adelaide to play port on their home ground then played on a neutral ground for the gf , to me, meant it was one of the best premierships we’ve won ( beating the handbaggers was a sweet bonus)

We beat Scotty
The Media love Scotty.
All my life The media have always had a soft spot for Geelong from the Blight days to the Thompson days and now the unbearable Scott days.

Why do you continue to watch the show? You know they won’t say anything complimentary towards us ever, no matter what we do.

Haven’t Sydney only won 2..?
And got flogged in a GF

 

[Merveille]

Perhaps he is suggesting we are not sustained.
Again the Swans finishing 15 and 16 in 2019
And 2020 gets overlooked

The Pies 2 bookended some fairly average results and Brisbane haven’t won anything since 2003.

The *smile* been drunk for the past 15 years so he's excused for forgetting our sustained finals appearences from 2013 and three flags.

 

[immorta]

Yeah, the lions killed it, 20 *smile* years ago.

The tigers only managed 3 flags in 4 years, 4 years ago.

Flog.

EDIT: let's also not forget the lions jagged the spoon in 2017

I know people will say its good to be hated but to me this is different to hate, its sheer disrespect and I hate that.

 

[tigertim]

It’s a fluff piece article but it’s about the sustained success of playing in finals since 2000 hence we aren’t mentioned with Geelong and Sydney.

But it begs the question is it better to regularly make finals like Geelong (19) and Sydney (20) but only win 2 flags (Sydney) and 4 (Geelong) or have a golden 4 year run and win 3?

This is nothing new. Robbo has always hated us. Whilst he remains at the helm of that rag I wouldn't wipe my ass with it.

But Sydney didn't have sustained success, nor did Brisbane. Hawthorn under Clarkson is arguable.

I refuse to believe he said that. As bad as blobbo is, I doubt even he would refer to cornflakes as a journalist. A poor something but not journalist

Think he’s still sore we got Lynch.
He threw a absolute fit we managed to get him
