News Media Thread, 2023: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

[Ambrose Burnside]

Trew could win a brownlow and he’d say some negative s**t. Ultimately it just makes him look like even more of an idiot

Like the way everyone on this board rates Matt Priddis.

Wonder if 68 rounds is a record. Shows we haven't had a lot of high quality young talent the last few years. Think Hough and Culley were a bit unlucky last year though.
Ahh well the draught is going to be broken this year surely. Ginbey must be due soon.

Ginbey
Long
Hewett
Culley
Hough
Chesser


Bazzo and Barnett later on this season likely to play, it won't be for a lack of candidates that's for sure

Maybe. But this draught may well prove an ill wind for us.

On the couch did a decent segment on us.

Why does Suma hate Ryan?

"Liam Ryan 6: Solid game, worked up the ground more having 17 disposals, 14 uncontested, but had a game high 11 score involvements and four tackles, on the right track with that performance."

Read much better than a "solid game"

Had him as a poor performance last week when he got at least two HTB fees.

Farkin LOL. 11 score involvements out of 17 possessions, how much more do you want out of a small/medium forward?

Trying to get a clip of it rn, stay tuned.

I watched it and most of what they said people on here had already covered.

They did a good segment showing how far cripps ran when applying pressure. It was interesting to see how the extra 1% effort was the difference in the game.

They actually made a really good point with that vision. It showed he looked like giving up quite early on and not chase, and then you could see something clicked and he put in the effort and it paid off.

It was Buckley I think who said that split second when deciding whether to go or not is all it takes to get found out against the top sides

Most of the segment was fine, nice to get some air time I guess, but the clip of Cripps was crucial and definitely worth it for Eagles fans to see.

Multiple times Ryan/Cripps/Hunt had runs like that (from memory that wasn’t even Cripps’ best chase of the day) and it changed everything for us when the Giants were trying to loop it over the top and use the spare.

Okay I can't seem to get it done, sorry guys.

 

[RookiePick]

Improved our work rate. Improved our outcomes.

It isn't rocket science. I'm sure Simmo must get frustrated when blokes just simply don't put in the required effort.

Curse you!

The humiliation in the media following the Roos game seems to be having an impact.

For 3 years now we've seen these lazy efforts from the senior players. Minute they pull their fingers out we win a game.

Interesting segment but I can't get over the fact Mitchell is wearing a grey and blue polo. I guess not even the Hawks think that the poos and wees colours work.

Maybe by round 20 once those young'ns over east get due recognition

How funny was it seeing sheed getting burned by long

Yeah it was.

Also think it wasn't unreasonable to call for the handball there.

Yeah same or maybe go for the shepherd

Gotta love that the same people criticising us for retaining too many senior players are criticising Hawthorn for getting rid of theirs

 

[BeornJ]

What is frustrating is that unless Long kicks a bag or gets 20+ disposals he probably won't be nominated but he is playing his role beautifully at the moment.

 

[flyinghi64]

Had to laugh how Browny thought Simmo could just throw out all of last year's work and this pre-seasons work on a game plan. Then in one week adopt a new game plan.
Last week it worked for a half and this week it gelled for pretty much the whole game. The same bloody game plan just executed better.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Caro is a perfectly fine footy journo.

Also reckon Lloyd is good value, seems to provide a fair and balanced perspective on most things.
