Biased/incompetent media coverage

Hope Maginness gets another crack at an AFL club Would of thought he would of went back to Vic

You have to at least be runner up in the Sandover to get another crack a la Hutchings

 

[wraglesweb]

He's not AFL standard

Yeah ok I don't get too watch him, all though I did rate him in his draft year here in VIC

Hasnt come on like You and I expected .

 

[DickDunn]

Haha, where was this?

On the Couch.

Weirdly, Gerard often comes across as an Eagles fan - he loves guys like Yeo and Shuey. Clearly not obsessed though

 

[avishka5]

LOL at the phones going off at shuey's presser.

Considering the skewed views some of the fox commentators give off on game days, I can't imagine what their dedicated shows are like.

 

[Truckosaurus]

I mentioned it in the gameday thread, but I'm pretty sure Sandy was calling some parallel universe on Saturday. One where Kennedy won Collingwood's BnF and it was Shuey, not Masten who missed that shot from the pocket early on.

We lost in the other universe too.

From afl.com.au;

Mackenzie, Schofield, Dom Sheed, Liam Duggan, Kurt Mutimer and category B rookie Francis Watson showed some positive signs for East Perth last Friday night and could be in the mix for the Swans clash.

Duggan travelled to Vic with the team

This is apparently a weekly article now. Can't imagine a why they'd possibly make something like this

He loves Nic Nat as well. I think it's partly a product of him spending a lot of time over here. He's pretty knowledgeable about Freo too.

Personally i really appreciate it, having someone who knows anything about our club that isn't Meth related is a big ask for Melbourne media.

AFL 360 Robbo - I have really really strong evidence that west coast are flat track bullies still........

Gerard- Adam Simpson is on tomorrow night

Robbo- Why didn't you tell me (Shits himself)

the way Dermot Brereton was saying "GO" every time someone from Richmond got the ball was f...ing joke

ir was bias and the way they cheered every time Richmond was a joke....it was barracking

in the end I turned the sound and watched the game with no sound at all....fox are a joke

I don't have a problem if they openly acknowledge their bias, but knowingly barracking for a specific team while pretending to be impartial is the antithesis of being a professional.

I do, but it is less against the individual presenter and moreso against the overall presentation. Most media outlets want to project the idea of impartial and balanced content, whilst spinning it their way to maximise revenue / influence consumers. If the acknoledgement of bias is a present thing, then my problem becomes the open imbalance since you will continualy get more Vic-biased media types thinking it's OK to spruik their bias without check since they are 'out', without the counter voice. Who has the non-Vic bias in national football media?

The Pies' Achilles heel is their leaky defence, and in particular their shortage of quality key defenders, so the importance of premiership and All Australian centre half-back Ben Reid cannot be understated. If the 'Woods lost the consistent, strong-marking left-footer

- Ben Collins

Who the hell calls Collingwood "the 'Woods"?

I had to re-read it to make sure he wasn't calling Cameron Wood a "star" defender.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

**** me everyone's running with the flat track bullies line now. Only took one loss.

 

[Keys]

What was the "really strong evidence"?

Um .... yeah.... well you know.... the eagles don't win at the MCG..... and yeah look.... I think there should be an investigation into their drug use.......


Weren't the mighty tigers just fantastic

Wonder if Robbo mentioned his beloved bombers dropping to the wooden spoon favourites?

Quality analysis once again.

Wins comfortably away from home - Sam Mitchell GOAT
Plays poorly and scrapes over the line at home against a 7-12 rated side - boo umpires Perth boo
Loses away from home - flat track bullies

What are they going to do this week, wheel out Robert 'good vs evil' Walls?

*regular name being Robert 'give him a run in the ruck' Walls.
