Chris Fagan would quietly be thinking F. You to David King right now

“I’m guaranteeing that”: Why King doesn’t think Fagan is maximising Brisbane’s list

“If Chris Scott was coaching the talent levels of the Brisbane Lions, they wouldn't be fifth.”

The media have to produce stories every week, they have to produce content, they have to give their opinions. If you are going to be offended by anything negative written about your club you are not going to have a good time.

I would rather media personalities make big claims or predictions than them trying to play it safe, stay on the fence and end up not having any opinions at all.

Ok. Kane Cornes typically baits so cant be taken seriously but Kingy genuinely believes his b.s. he really mad an ass of himself over that segment.

Media were harsh against Fagan due to age and because he didn't play AFL footy.

Absolutely certain.

Huge effort and but they’ve been up for 6 years and have a list stacked with talent. If they didn’t win one with this group it was a massive failure. They were putting for par yesterday.

That's Fitzroy you're talking about

Kingy is not as astute as many think he is, he's been wrong on plenty, hates criticism of himself which he deflects very quickly, usually through attack and has blind spots for clubs not from Victoria as he spends all of season watching vic clubs only.

He's a poor commentator but can have good half time and post game analysis.

I mean, to an extent?

A problem with footy is that when it comes specifically to QLD and NSW, footy is not the only thing. It can't dominate the media landscape the way it does in Perth, Adelaide or Melbourne, because there's a lot of old establishment types that prevent it from happening. Then, add in that Victorian - and Adelaide, and Perth - media only really like to talk about themselves and what you've got is a media landscape that absolutely doesn't really look at Brisbane properly.

This is not always a bad thing, though. In 2015, Brisbane came second last to Carlton on percentage and then second last again to Essendon on percentage during the player suspension, coming dead last in 2017. Did you see them really cop it in the media akin to how North Melbourne have copped it over the last few years, or how Carlton were reported between 2017-2020? Instead of the nigh wall to wall talkback chat and blistering denunciations - if you remember, in 2013 Melbourne started a conversation that continued when Carlton were poor concerning the 'right' to play Friday night footy or marquee fixtures - you do still get some negative coverage but significantly less.

While you want a certain amount of attention, some clubs will always slip under the radar in the footy landscape, for good or ill.

and if Lions lose a couple in a row next year he'll be back to the subject...unfortunate cause his passion for the game is great and draws attention, just lets himself down by often being dismissive of others and relying heavily on his 'numbers'

Preseason belongs to Essendon
Home and away season belongs to Geelong
Sometimes Port or the Swans get their nose in

But it is a rinse and repeat cycle of teams the media loves talking about as 'the best' during the season. Some clubs and some fanbases just enjoy being talked about as a good team every week of the journey rather than worrying about being the best at the destination.

Every journalist and commentator now has to look at clicks and socials. An article or a hot take on Brisbane won't get them the clicks they need to get paid.

The media often don't even send anyone to their press conferences, or if they do it's one journo with a phone on voice record and the club does the filming.

Luck they played the Swans in the GF.

Every AFL clubs’ dream GF matchup….

You are going to bring up articles from a month ago?

This is hindsight bs at its finest.

Brisbane underperformed in the regular season - who could dispute that?

They performed in the finals and won the day.

You want to go and punish everyone who didnt declare the premier the victors ahead of time?
