Biased/incompetent media coverage

[AndysAngels]

One of the softest free kicks you'll ever see, absolutely zero contact and Brown comes out with 'who cares if its a free kick'

Just disgraceful. How can you sincerely say that?

 

[Bender_]

LoL ever seen the loser interviewed on field?

#VFL

 

[Tom_Thumb]

Eddie's worst call I can remember, he clearly barracked in the first half as well as whinged like a dick head constantly about free kicks when they went West Coast's way but not the other way.

Wouldnt shut up all game about it. Hear him mention any of Carltons 11 free kicks in the last quarter? Nope.

Lol, Channel 7 News Perth... "Eagles brush off their MCG hoodoo."

Give me a ****ing spell.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Oh Eddie. Eddie, Eddie, Eddie. Mate.

Mate.

I have nothing.

How good was some of the salt between Derm and Eddie. Derm saying a couple good things about us and Eddie just couldn’t cop it. Sounded like they’re were about to let loose on one another.

Was surprised by that; Dermie usually loves sinking the boot in but even more I suppose he loves disagreeing with someone. But jesus Eddie, to come off as the ignorant moron in a box with Dermie is quite a feat...

What is with no replays when its a soft as **** or a bad call free kick .
They telecast just doesnt show it !

That dangerous tackle from lycett on simpson was just a really good hard tackle . Didnt dump him , sling him or make his head hit the deck .

Is there now a rule that you cant tackle aggressively?

A joke of a free that was completely ignored by the commentators

 

[Gizza]

I don't think I've ever heard a commentator whinge about umpiring so much before. It was embarassing and ridiculously unprofessional. I felt like I was listening to a big footy match day thread

Having a field day in this thread today but;



I mean, to be fair Phillips did probably break even, but to cite nic's low disposal and hitout count as justification for this when Phillips got less of both is just idiocy...

Phillips absolutey did no break even lmao

 

[Truckosaurus]

Press Red if you Wish Ed Was Dead. Audio stream with all the mics but Eddie's.

Do it, Foxtel.

He didn't break even though. NN stepped up in the 3rd which directly lead to us breaking the game open.

He didn't have a good first half but he imposed himself when needed to lift the side.

By contrast Phillips tried hard.

Where is that article from?

 

[EaglesVille]

seriously! if you leave the sound on with Eddie and Dermott giving comment, you get what you deserve...

Can't you guess? It's afl.priddis son

Judging by the reporters name, and the quality of the content, I'll assume the AFL has outsourced the reporting

Definitely Ed at his worst. Which is saying something
Perhaps he (the King of Kong) was overcompensating

In 2015, though, the stage was set for the perfect storm and it raged out of control one mid-winter night against West Coast at Subiaco. Having witnessed one of the game’s great champions being virtually booed into retirement, the AFL Commission’s response was again belated, careful and woeful. Several AFL clubs were stronger, notably the Eagles through their veteran CEO Trevor Nisbett

 

[fidstar]

You know you've gone too far Eddie when even Dermie thinks you are too Vic bias.

 

[FatPizza]

You could combine the worst of Dwayne and Basil and it would still be leaps and bounds ahead of Eddie today.

Sliding into players with his knees numerous times made him pretty boo-worthy.

Yep, plus the constant staging

It's a little bit nit-picking but the game she's referring to was an afternoon match played in bright sunshine and not a night game
