On the couch

it always astounds me how many richmond supporters bemoan the lack of interest and/or constant negativity shown from the media.

Do you really think we deserve it?

WAKE UP!!! until we stop being middle of the road side and start winning premierships we don't deserve anything!

Oh and if all you have to complain about is Richmond not getting any media coverage you probably need to get out a bit more!

You would think that after McIntosh played such a great game on debut, and got the round one rising star nomination they may have made mention of it.

They usually have their show planned before it goes to air, so unless a big story breaks, it's missed. Rising Star isn't a big story, but will get mentioned tonight on 360.

On the couch never have much to say about Richmond, and when they do it's at the end of the show.

I just watched access all areas on the afl app and nothing much was mentioned. Mcintosh got some vision but just to underscore the underwhelming Malceski debut for the Suns.
 
I actually like flying under the radar a bit. How much media coverage do you think we would have copped if we'd lost? Carlton are a little lucky that North and Geelong fell over so badly, and that they played on Thursday otherwise they'd be getting it from all directions.
 
Look we get it from all of them, only Kingy has been bullish and he isn't this year either. That's good, lets fly under the radar for a bit, let them drool over Adelaide and watch them gradually drop their bundle, let them hammer Norf & Geelong. When we go 4-0 and then have the Cats, Norf & Collingwood, we could be 7-0 and then they won't shut up.
Enjoy the silence while it lasts ;D
 
Footy Classified & Talking Footy nothing differant, not even 30 seconds of coverage combined there....

Why would the Tigers get any coverage, the story of the year happened yesterday.

Back to back premiers beat team on the slide in round 1.

J Brown is not much chop on the couch.
Will be interesting how he migrates from footy show all round good bloke to serious commentary. I'd give him time, i confess to underestimating what Richo has delivered as a media commentator.

Yep, a day is a short time in footy and we played on Thursday night. We got the right amount of attention - after all, we were firm favourites to beat the Baggers.
 
Interesting Monday night tomorrow:

Jack is On The Couch and Bumhead Thompson is on a 1 hour special Open Mike.

Be very interesting to see how Jack handles it after his self imposed media ban last year.

I'll be interested to know why Dimma gave him a bake last night. As for Open Mike, I hope Bumhead leaks like a sieve.

Dimma's on Talking Footy also tonight.

Yeah, I thought that was a bit weird, too. I wouldn't be surprised if the question is asked about it.

Jack said that Dimma barked him for playing for free kicks.

Great episode of OTC again, Jack was on, but no mention at all of our game otherwise. ::)

Wasn't Jack great, he was very articulate.
I liked it when asked if he sledged his opponents he said he didn't, but didn't mind having a chat to his teammates opponents ;D
 
Jack has learnt to keep his trap shut. Must be frustrating for a two time Coleman Medalist to be still under a coach who cannot deliver the infrastructure to make it happen at TIGERLAND.
