Roast IF it isn't biased or ncompetent..... THEN it must be inciteful media coverage part II

[Red Bear]

So Bruce, are Collingwood still the favourites for next week? We beat them twice and crushed Melbourne.

pies favourites $1.60 we're $2.35 even though we've had their measure twice this year and finished higher on the ladder.

bookies know they have a huge advantage with the grand final being played at the mcg.

This is the best post in big footy history

 

[BigVic]

I am dreading what the Age or Herald Sun will come up with this week

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

Me all week:

 

[brabs]

Well that was “bad for footy”

 

[Corn69]

Thought the prelim spot was wasted on the dees, am I right Tony Jones

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

Where was all the cheering from fed square ?

 

[Mulldogg]

Recorded the game on Fox. Wowee how dour was the half time coverage from Eddie and his Vic cronies? It was like someone bloody died at half time! And then damning us with faint praise. "West Coast have been great don't get me wrong BUT Melbourne haven't shown up..."

I loved the pre-game highlights showing some history of Melbourne and Eagles in the finals.

Of course the 1988 elimination final at Waverley when Melbourne won by 2 points was shown.

It’s not as if the 1994 preliminary final at the WACA when we won by 65 points was relevant at all.

Meh. To be fair I felt the same. Biggest pants shitting in history. Happy to get through on it but doesnt make me feel we are invincible either

Melbourne v Richmond was it?

Sssshhhhh....keep it under the radar mate....that what helped us - no one give a hoot that we were also playing in the finals.

Yep we don't exist and Collingwood are the second coming. Melbourne really benefitted from the hype train.

I'm glad we put an end to that nauseating Demon fairy-tale narrative.

I had a gutful of it

I posted a few times Melbourne after one good season didn’t deserve a grand final spot ....I was abused .....no mod notice

My point is they have had one good 6 week period where they beat Wce, gws, Geelong hawks

Ffs we beat all those sides ....two of them away .....

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

just watching a replay right now on Foxtel. So glad i watched both finals live and didnt have to put up with the dour commentary.

 

[Level_Headed]

I mean come on... More about the losers than the winners??? We got a mention for injuries but surely we did something a little more newsworthy for the actual official VFL site?

Tell me about it. Was at the game so also recorded the game on Foxtel.

Others have mentioned it but I thought Luke Darcy’s reference to Dessie Hedland as a West Coast great was the best part for mine.

Also Brayshaw big noting our club’s bank balance and surprising Richo - “Is that right?” (that we’ve got $40m in the bank supposedly)

[The Stid]

Can someone post the vision of the Fox Footy half time show?

 

[Mulldogg]

Scotty Chisholm - “Prince of the Pocket”.

Also a Purple not an Eagle

Yes, especially from Daisy & G Lyon Dee-train hype about Melbourne... present & ex player/commentators...
