Biased/incompetent media coverage

[Selurs]

I have had Fox for many years. Put it on hold over summer and was not going to renew.
After Thursdays game watching on free to air I almost caved in. Watching on SD did my head in, I really don't know how people can watch sport like that. The ads didn't help.
After Fridays game I did cave. Rang them on Saturday and got it connected again.

Pretty much the same boat here, expect on the way to pick up my phone I thought about my $ making it into Gary Lyon's pocket and turned around.

Fox is great for the HD, but for a channel that is literally spending millions to pay off 7 so they delay three games a year, you'd think they'd put more effort into making content that's actually interesting for people who live here! The marketing department needs to talk to the programming department...

Nicnat's successful return is one of the biggest feel-good stories of the last two years, and all Barrett can serve up is that shit two weeks in a row...

Anyone else sick of every article mentioning how bad the Eagles are in Melbourne ? It's actually a myth.

We have a good record at Docklands - and we are even 7 wins / 4 losses v Bulldogs. We consistently beat them there, and should have rightly gone in favourites.

We have a problem at the MCG - other than that we are probably the best travelling team in the competition.

That would involve doing research and actual journalism.

Can add the graphic in yesterdays game calling Jeremy McGovern Mitch McGovern to the list of incompetent media coverage

This isn’t the first time AFL media on the east coast have confused him for Mitch. Not sure how this happens tbh, Mitch isn’t even half the player Jeremy is.

Mitch or ‘Mitts’?

They put Mitch McGovern next to his picture in the graphic. They were talking about him being a free agent.

We will get plenty of press the first time we record a positive free kick differential at the new stadium.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Liam Ryan didn’t rate a mention?

Plus Rioli, would have given them a chance to mention Cyril..

We beat a better quality of team away last year than tiges did

They couldnt even beat the dogs down the road

If anything has Garry Lyon in it you can forget constructive/positive discussion of West Coast.

Does a piece on On The Couch now about kicks of the week. None of Hurn's 22 entries rated a mention.

Dont know why wa people watch ifcthey dont give us coverage - fox know exactly who watch what programs
Vote with your feet

The way you lot carry on you'd think it is some kind of conspiracy.

When half the clubs come from one place it's natural there will be some bias towards the clubs from there. Chill.

It's a decent show. Gerard Healy still has a hard on for us. With NicNat back expect that to grow. Paul Roos talks shit, Jono Brown talks like someone who's been knocked out a lot and Garry Lyon is just a young version of Robert Walls. Judd picked Carlton, deal with it boy-o.

The only 'conspiracy' is a few figures who hate us. Namely Wallsy, Garry Lyon and spectacles Barrett. Most of the peanuts on Fox don't know anything about the local teams let alone those across the borders.

When half the clubs come from one place you can expect half the news to be about them on a nationwide show.

Who really cares though. Gives us more incentive to prove them wrong.

It's a discussion point. Thread is currently at 229 pages so clearly it's interesting to some.

On 360 they had a bit on Liam Ryan.

 

[Chris_6678]

Hurns first 18 disposals were at a 100% disposal efficiency...sure a mention on Lyons segment!

Plus he was the no. 1 video highlight on AFL.com.au
