Opinion Commentary & Media VI

[Spud11]

Good on Lloyd for calling him out. For a man who I suspect dislikes us, Lloyd has often been very fair to North in his commentary.

I know I’m meant to hate the Dons, but as a 10 year old in the 90’s, new to AFL, who VERY nearly chose the Bombers, Lloyd has always been one of my favourites.
And from the other side of the fence, I loved our stoushes and epic matches with them. He was one of the last old school footballers.

As far as media street goes, I’ve liked Lloyd there just as much. He’s always respectful to us and (I know it’s not hard) but he’s the best panelist on Footy Classified. He always takes Caro, Kornes and Hutchy to task and when he does it seems real and not contrived. So kudos to him.

Thanks for biting again

Oh damn you got me so good!

30s in, Robbo already pumping up Sheez's tires.

I've found Lloyd much more tolerable post retirement than many. I don't need the contrived click bait stuff.

Love how Clarkos giving everyone at the club their dues, and making sure they know they're important

Coaches votes

10 LDU
8. Larkey
6. Sheezel
3 McGovern
2. Shuey
1. Comben

How the **** did McGovern get votes - he looked drunk

You've always got to take it that one step too far don't you!

It was already to far

How the * did McGovern get votes - he looked drunk


It was already to far

Got a 2 & 1 from the look of the votes so both coaches thought he was worthy of votes.

I personally find Bucks really boring to listen to, very monotone. No question he knows the game well but he's not got much personality.
But that analytical frame is probably needed in the commentary of the game.

This is the attitude that gives BT a job.

Same.

Ensuring every single person feels part of the team and appreciated.

Cannot underestimate the positive impact this approach is already having on the entire club. What a motivator!!

I f$&@ing love him. Can’t imagine how the players feel about him.

Ryan Bastinac makes a good point that players know the physical risks of our game and makes me wonder about all of us non-AFL footballers over the years that have copped head knocks and concussion playing the game. Is there a possible precedent that all amateur and local leagues are potentially exposed to potential class actions?

Essendon-North Melbourne rivalry reached fever pitch at the turn of the century

Looking at the AFL ladder after 15 rounds, a teenager would be forgiven for not knowing that at one point in recent history Friday night's opponents Essendon and North Melbourne dominated the footy landscape .

Until literally the last couple of years we didn't know the full extent to how concussion affected the brain. You could easily argue we still don't have a great grasp of all the mechanisms and long term effects.

Basti's point of "you know the risk", is just plain wrong. 50% of footy players wouldn't even grasp the base concepts.

(In my opinion) theres 2 things that Basti isn't separating: there's risks to playing a contact sport, and there's this specific outcome from bumps to the head.

 

[Gasometer]

Well it was a bit flustering those last couple of minutes.

I announced to the address book that we had won by 2 points

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Sounds like Ryan's had one too many head knocks.

He’s quite possibly high.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

He’s quite possibly high.

Too many "Brews With Basti"

 

[SpiderBurton22]

He’s quite possibly high.

Is he still in Amsterdam?

Is he still in Amsterdam?

Mentally, quite likely.

I hope feel that Clarko set that whole thing up to make a point to Curtis Taylor

I could find the article, it mightn't exist online any more, but Lloydy says the team he feared the most was the 90s Roos, intimidation

I'm so concussed that this post makes sense.

What point would Clarko be making to Taylor? Kick the goal?
I reckon Curtis doesn’t need a replay to figure that out.
