No sure that serving dessert with salad fork counts as incompetent media.
If ever a spork was called for...
Keen for that Witcher DLC though
'Based on the Netflix show' and probably just skins.

TBH, I'd be disappointed if we weren't at least 4-1.
WEST COAST 1ST FIVE
West Coast v Gold Coast Perth Stadium 7.40pm
North Melbourne v West Coast Marvel Stadium 1.10pm
West Coast v Fremantle Perth Stadium 6.20pm
Collingwood v West Coast Marvel Stadium 4.35pm
West Coast v Sydney Perth Stadium 7.40pm
In the bank: If you had to ask for a Round 1 soda, it would be making Suns fly across the country to tackle you on a parochial home deck.
Wins/losses: Should be at least 3-2.
Degree of difficulty: 4/10. A blessed opening five rounds.
After five rounds: Hovering around top 8.
Panic rating: High. We’re all waiting for Eagles to crumble. This is an easy start. Don’t blow it, Simmo.

That line pretty much sums up the attitude being presented by the media outside of Perth towards the Eagles leading into 2022.
I will be disappointed if we aren't 5-0 with a percentage above 120 after these matches to be honest.
Shades of pre-2018 here - watch the collective panic from these hacks rise once they realise the soft draw could well setup an early season run of momentum that leads to a strong finishing position.
I think we'll drop a game somewhere (vs Sydney the most likely), but if we're 5-0 I'll be locking us into top 4.
I've already got us pencilled in for the flag, personally.
I couldn't find a top 4 market but if we're rank outsiders I am considering throwing a lobster at it.
Also Port having equal 2nd hardest draw adds some fun to next year, death riding them week after week for a juicy second rounder.
Apparently WC and Dom Sheed are responsible for Buck's axing.
Love it.

THE SLIDING DOORS MOMENT
The 2018 grand final was the sliding doors moment that dramatically changed the course of Australia’s most famous sporting club.
Collingwood led until the last two minutes, when West Coast pushed up the field and the ball landed in the hands of Dom Sheed deep in the pocket.
Magpies defender Brayden Maynard had been illegally blocked out of the marking contest by Eagle Willie Rioli, but the umpire ignored his pleas for a free kick.
Collingwood legend Peter McKenna, who is no stranger to grand final heartbreak, was watching from the Olympic Stands as Sheed kicked truly to add to the Magpies’ long history of misfortune on the game’s biggest day.
The impact of the kick is not at all lost on him.
“Nathan Buckley was a kick away from being a premiership coach, and had we won that he’d still be coaching,” McKenna said.
“That’s the amazing thing about it. You’re beaten by a kick and that great mark taken by Jeremy McGovern, then marked in the centre and then in the forward pocket with an amazing kick from the boundary line (by Sheed).
“It didn’t veer of course, and even though he’s a left footer if you had 10 shots from there you’d kick one.
“He’s very unlucky to not still be coaching the club.”
When Sheed kicked truly, Magpies legend and 1990 premiership captain Tony Shaw was standing at the MCG race in preparation for the post-game podium presentations.
He’d been appointed the man to present Buckley, who was a young teammate in Shaw’s final season as captain in 1994, and skipper Scott Pendlebury with the premiership cup had the Magpies prevailed.
Up until the last 90 seconds, it appeared Shaw would get the opportunity.
“No doubt whatsoever that Nathan Buckley would still be there (had Collingwood won),” Shaw said.
Love it.

I have visions of Denis Pagan tapping Tony Shaw on the shoulder and saying "hang on a minute there Tone".

Illegal block? By all accounts umpire deemed it legal
Glorious tears
Sheed loves playing the Pies , 2019 he kicked a goal that was close to sealing the game but in the other pocket. Then 2021 he kicks 3 goals in a 1/4
