That is a good word. I love it. Suits him down to the ground.
Big $$$ paid by SA govt to AFL for this - and $$$ always king for the afl, fairness openly acknowledged as not a priority at all
Well when Hutchy paid him a bomb to call horse racing, cricket, NFL his ego got was always going to get out control.
He thinks he is the best caller in the country now as Hutchy has to justify the price tag to give him the big events.
Couldnt agree more with this. The guy is unbearable. His voice is so nasally too I can’t listen to it. He reminds me of the high sparrow from game of thrones the way he carries on like a sanctimonious git.
He’s definitely got a seriously highly opinion of himself. Hate the way non ex-playing media insert themselves and their opinions into coverage as if their thoughts on the game carry the same weight as ex players.
I dont give a crap what the following people think as they never experienced an elite sporting environment and their opinions carry no more weight than a random BF poster.

Stop giving us football opinions guys - we are not interested. You know nothing more about a winning AFL team than a random punter on hay street mall.
Sadly for the deep thinkers who. most media people are not hired for their knpowledge of fotoball or how deep they can analyse it, they are hired for thier opinions. The modern world is built on Social media and it is all OPINIONs
Jsut as this is only my opinion LOL

Regarding amiss being held and scragged - yes it’s happening and it’s frustrating. But I dont expect much sympathy from the umps and other defenders will go to town on him now.
The simple fact is he’s still too skinny. Needs to bulk up substantially in the off season. Grappling is a part of the game unfortunately.
He is still too light in my opinion. Amiss needs to get on the move more and avoid playing the same style that Hawkins etc have perfected. He’s more of a cameron type.

Yes, they do. It'll be "Sydney didn't play to their standards" or "Sydney had to travel all the way across the country" or any other crap excuse that gives Freo zero credit for a win. If Freo win you won't hear "Freo announce themselves to the comp with a convincing win over the #1 team". I have a few buddies who have been watching the games with me recently and know little about the AFL and even they can see the lopsidedness of the commentary. I'm fine with it since it's what gives Freo part of their image/appeal as the underdog of the comp. It'll make it all that much sweeter when we win a flag and watch the Vic commentator's heads explode on live TV.

This is generally true, but I feel that this year Montagna has had a more prominent role in the media and has been talking us up big time. We've also had a few mentions on programs like on the couch. If we take down Sydney I feel like we will start to be talked about as a contender
When we win consistently against top teams the media will notice . And we must stop losing to bottom 8 teamsYes, they do.

Just wow. Caroline Wilson on Dardy and Perth. Unless I’m missing something here, she’s blaming Perth lifestyle for the tragic death
what the actual f*ck is wrong with her
Yeah that is bizarre, and incredibly pretentious, arrogant and insensitive of her.
Firstly - she doesn't know the circumstance around his passing. I'm sure it's very complicated, so for her to think she has a reason 3-4 days afterwards is very arrogant and insensitive.
Secondly, to insinuate that Perth has a toxic and drug culture as opposed to Sydney or Melbourne is ignorant and pretentious. Does she assume our whole squad is off the rails? And is she not aware of the issues Melbourne has been dealing with in the last 24 months.
The respectful thing for her to do, is to acknowledge the passing, and the man Cam was. Leave the rest of it alone. You can touch on the need to support players post their career. But that's it.

There’s a lot of “maybe” and “I think” in there. A bit different if she was talking about a player being traded or a coach getting the sack. But this is an extremely emotional subject matter about a young man who has taken his own life. She needs to do better and should be called out for this.
no mention of his epilepsy ending his lifetime dreams of playing footy and at his favourite club.
WOW. how little can people know
I cannot imagine how dark Cam felt then once those dreams were crushed. let alone any other issues arising since then

and while were talking concussion...
Austin Roberson Jr reminds us all!
One part af the good old days we want erased from the game!
We need full commitment to protect the head at every level of the game.
I am pleased at the caution in bringing Switta back.
I am pleased at JLs advocacy for Amiss, hes copping the modern version of "made him earn it".
And CEO Dillon is continuing the gutless farce of championing the independence of Club doctors after Jeremy Camerons delayed concussion.
Club Doctors are just that.
'His life got quite small': WA footy great's CTE diagnosis confirmed as family details struggle with disease
The daughter of late WA football great Austin Robertson Jr details how her father's confidence was shaken as he battled the effects of CTE, a degenerative brain disease caused by repeated concussions.

Ive always been interested in what Caros had to say.
And shes been a trail blazer. Battling against misogyny all the way!
But this is beneath contempt!
Shame on you Caroline Wilson!

That is one of the most insensitive and ignorant comments by a “so called” journalist I have ever read. She has no idea what demons Cam fought (none of us do) and when he fought them. Just f()k off.
*sorry this has hit a nerve with me.

Remember you asked why people don't like her? She doesn't have a clue.

Yeah I must admit to not understanding why she was so disliked but these comments from her are totally ****ed. So yeah, I kinda get it now.
