Opinion Commentary & Media V

Almost all AFL "journalists" wait until they see result then they create a narrative that appears to be insightful based on the observed outcome.

There can occasionally be a decent prediction, but almost all of the brilliance from these blokes is achieved with the benefit of hindsight.

Suppose the talls had worked and North had won - easy... Dunstall goes in with the narratrive that this is the success formula of the modern era, citing Brisbane, Melbourne and Ricmond as further evidence.

Honestly - 90% of sports "journalism" is utter garbage - just a bunch of hack scribes writing up the results and claiming that they have been able to unravel the details that led to the outcome. Fact is, the one sentence uttered above by big_e is as insightful as anything written or spoken by the myriad of snout in trough parasites that earn a living from football.

How many people in the AFL media picked Melbourne for the flag last year before the season started?

Of all the afl.com.au writers, only one of them had Melbourne in the eight last year - in eighth spot, no less.

So no one really. You could probably say the same for the Richmond at the start of 2017 and Footscray the year before.

I guess the Dees did come from nowhere. But after about five rounds they looked the goods.

In other words, they haven't got a clue, but after the event they can predict exactly what happened.

Don't disagree but reckon Dunstall is one of the better ones.

I admit that he's way better than most of them. I accidentally watched that review show with Cooney once. I couldn't work out if the show is meant to be insightful or if it is trying to be a comedy.

I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be comedy

Supposed to be

I think they’re trying to create something like some mates just sitting around talking shit. It’s the first time I’ve watched it. Not for my taste. They’re not funny enough or insightful enough.

Cooney is simply unfunny

Well Cooney is an A grade arse-clown

All the talk shows are “cultivated“ rehearsed garbage too. Any off the cuff remark is backed up by stats on the screen immediately. It’s a bit of a farce.

It might just be a coincidence

Couldn’t you just image the absolute mayhem that would ensue if they actually weren’t rehearsed?

Did Robbo nominate Scott Lucas?

 

[Masked Avenger]

Typical cool, mamby pamby, lemon in your beer revisionism. Sure, Franklin's a star. The best player of this millennium. But in terms of grabbing games by the throat and demoralising teams, none better than Carey. This wouldn't even be discussed if Carey played for Carlton or Collingwood. Or, in which way Whately's case, Geelong.

 

[LB2Snake]

Buddy is awesome, will def be HoF legend……but the bloke doesn’t mark the ball above his head. I just don’t think he gets in the same convo as GA or Duck. Both those blokes we aerially ridiculous.

 

[Ether]

Not watching the segment but only one club B+F for Buddy in about 15 years seals the deal for me.

 

[Cool Kangas]

I chuckled when he said buddy had a strong teammates around him….haha…so Carey didn’t have strong teammates around him? Hahah
