You're seeing ghosts mate

The media are very predictable in their writing. It's actually infuriating they call themselves journalists

I bet if we win "the media" will be praising our youngsters and Mitchell.

I'm just glad that it looks like that the 'poor old Essendon' narrative that they all had to peddle seems to have finally worn off in recent months.

 

[daniel23]

Adelaide have the 2 best small forwards in the comp for the next decade.

Expect backhanded compliments. "The hawks played well but..."

Buddy was up to no good off the field for years.

Hodge was done drink driving, which is about as unforgivable offence there is IMO. Especially when you have money and can easily afford an Uber, etc.

Hodge and Mitchell used to party hard in their earlier days. There are too many stories about AFL players. So many young players (young men) with disposable income get caught up to no good for years before they mature.

As a wise man (my avatar) once said - money just makes you more of the person you really are.

Personally I'd draw the line at Family Violence (Elijah Taylor) and the kind of stuff that Patton got up to.

ultimately its an arbitrary line that's, in reality, mostly dictated by money and star power. Especially true in the NBA which is perhaps the most star driven competition in the world

so I guess you have to personally dictate what level of being a dickhead is OK based on your own moral values. Party drugs, lots of alcohol, all that shit clubs won't care about as long as you're good enough.

Also with Hodge I totally agree drink driving is unacceptable. But there's a difference between being blind and "just" having a couple pints that ticks you over. Same crime, totally different moral implication

isn't ChatGPT doing the work?

Next year maybe, but you definitely see prewritten articles with players names inserted.

If Hawks win, Bombers will be the first team in the gun for media. Will round up on them for a few days. They opponent will be hardly mentioned.
It’s how it works.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Offer Callaghan whatever he wants Hawks. Bring him home.

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Big hit

 

[VandoHawk]

Giants midfield smacking the Crows

 

[Off The Couch]

Big hit

Lot made of it but wouldn’t mind seeing it slowed down

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Lot made of it but wouldn’t mind seeing it slowed down

Slowd down it looks worse

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Yeah, they showed it, just once I think.

Wasn't good for him.

 

[Off The Couch]

They say one week for Buddy but 2 for Pickett

Buddy actually made contact with his head whereas I don’t think Pickett did but they are going with the “intent”

Really struggle to understand how they determine these things

MRP lotto. it's always a shitshow

But if you're the Demons and Swans, just take the suspension. No point fighting the MRP on it.

If you don’t think Picket caught him high I suggest you weren’t paying attention.
If it was all chest physics says the whiplash would have been the opposite direction

 

[moginie]

Geez, McAdam's hit was evil. Far worse than Picketts.

 

[TylerDurden]

JOM just the 19 touches and went missing when the heat was on, again.

Rinse and repeat. While we got bent over badly on Mitchell, the JOM trade was a solid one.

Saints won the game because they were just harder at the contest, why Nat Fyfe is so highly rated god only knows

Did you happen to miss the entirety of Fyfe's career or something?

Did you happen to miss the 2014 gf?

Gave away three frees, didn’t kick a goal as a forward, hasn’t been much good for while
