Usually some cheeky fella has uploaded an episode of "on the couch" to youtube or the like, but not yet. Waiting with baited breath

Sorry didnt realise you had to subscribe
The Healy is bizarrely our biggest fan. I don't understand it, but it's nice to have a positive reasonably well informed voice in the Vic media.
Also, we're +52 with NN on and -15 with him off. And no ruckman has a hitout to advantage against NN so far this season. That's just ridiculous.
It actually just seems the Media at the moment just want to bash who has a bad week and why are the rottenly bad.
They don't want to talk about who is performing well, better than expected and why.
It just seems soooo negative atm.
At least Bounce doesn't take itself too seriously.
Oh special mention to Browny on the couch giving Shep 3x OOoohhhh YEeeaaahhh's for his efforts.

I love the Dom but I think Cornes got him confused with Shep in his Team of the Week:
Can confirm that it's a name for a sub originating in Philadelphia. Also urban dictionary says it's also something else when used in this context. I'm now confused...
So I took her hand and I said "I love you so much. Now lay on your back and let me give you the Hoagie".

Media always focus on negatives and the football media especially so.
Pot a club that has played poorly and the fans of 17 other teams will be interested. Praise a team and you only have one group of supporters listening
Insightful analysis is a lost art

Insanely good stat. Where’d you find that info?
In general, I don’t really rate +/- stats in individual games across any sport, but over the course of a season it can be quite useful. Could be interesting to track.
His HTA per game are also crazy cf. other ruckmen given the much lower number of contests attended.
It's from Champion Data and i found it in this article.

Gary Lyon would you believe it. On the couch
Robbo's Wednesday love was Shuey giving Ryan a piggy-back.
Flyin' is also on the 360 graphic at the moment. They also mentioned LeCras' 200th and acknowledged his good form in 2018.
Glad to see some attention on us and I think Ryan's captivating form is a big part of that.
Makes it hurt just that bit more that he's gonna be out until the latter stages of the year.

Is it just me or was the tone of reporting of the Essendon player biting someone quite matter of fact, move along nothing to see here, compared to the outrage when Lewis and Masten did it.
Robbo made it sound like he gassed 80 Syrian children.

A few from tonight:
Aaron gaff starting on Aaron hall
Liam jones injured his ankle last week
Ben Dixon on Nic Nats game time, almost 3qtr time “he’s already played 55% of game time so he could get up to 75% by the end of the match”. Shock horror he stayed at 55% TOG

"There were gleeful beneficiaries everywhere as Daniel Venables, whose night was cut short by injury, and Rioli both got their first career goals."

Not even a month has passed since Robert Walls predicted West Coast would finish last in 2018. If he picks up the newspaper tomorrow morning and tips the ladder upside down, he’ll find his prediction is tracking well

Senile old campaigner probably tries to read the newspaper upside down most mornings anyway.

What's with the snow references?
Just checking the DT scores on Fanfooty and they had 'Snow business in Perth' after 'Good late snow' last week. Are we downhill skiers for beating one of the premiership fancies by a couple of goals as well as thumping Gold Coast? We're 2-1 at home and 1-0 away, too. A fan site is not really journalism (nor is most of the actual journalism) but is pretty lazy.

Venables scored against the Bulldogs.
It's actually staggering how there seems to be no fact checking in these articles, I wish I could half arse my job like these 'journalists' do and still get paid.
