News Media Thread, 2023: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

That was at the request from the WA teams I think

Yeah, the idea was to stay the week and keep it at one trip instead of two.

So naturally we changed our minds and decided to fly back.

I'd opt to fly back as well

Look I know being in Adelaide isn't anyone's idea of a fun time but sometimes you have to make sacrifices.

 

[ThePuma #9]

If we were 3-1 heading into this round then I’d wager we would have stayed the week.

At most likely 1-4 after the Cats game what’s the bloody point?

Let them come home to their families, gonna be a long year as it is.

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

After the way our lot reacted in 2020 do you really think they'd tolerate a week in Adelaide? Was never gunna happen.

It's our shortest trip...

It's just unlucky the 'Gather Round' (being an extra, unplanned round) fell between a home game and an away game from our perspective. We were going to have 2 away games in a row regardless (either prior round and gather round, or gather round then subsequent round).

I'm happy to get fired up about a number of injustices to the WA teams, but this just isn't one of them.

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

It's just not right, they're continually so hard done by.

That WA-sized chip on your shoulder is looking awfully a lot like the WCE-sized chip on Freo's shoulder.

Could listen to wirras stories all day long such a legend of a bloke, good to hear he still has a bit to do with the club.

In their mind, its another example of how favoured the Eagles are.
We now have 12 home games to their 11.

I’m pretty sure she blocked me on twitter. She’s a proper cooker.

Bloody brilliant!

 

[Keys]

It’s a neutral venue

There’s no advantage to be designated the home team.

None

And it was decided by a coin toss

You can tell the level of intelligence of this person by the use of “West Coasts” in her tweet..

Oh and the fact that she goes for Failmantle

 

[Keys]

If Freo fans want to be pissed off they should be pointing out that they’re playing on a cow paddock in a totally shit time slot whilst we playing at Adelaide oval on a Sunday arvo

Now that’s a valid argument given where each team finished last year

Most of them wouldn’t even know where they are playing. Too busy ranting about JL and Bell to notice something like that.

Good to see someone calling out the ridiculous barracking some commentators engage in.

Also, lol at Tom Browne. Numpty.

I’m sure I will be soon.

It is good, but I doubt anything changes.

In defence of BT, I wonder if what he thinks he is doing is trying to keep the viewers interested by saying that the game is still live. If the commentators concede it's over then it's likely that a lot of people will change the channel.

Hardly the first time football has shown the absolute most important thing, the only thing is .... rrrrrratings!

 

[THE A5]

Honestly speaking I don’t know if she blocked me cause of what I said to her or not. I’ve had so many Freo fans block me( never interacted with them)cause I’ve had a go at other freo people on there. There’s a freo fan on there called Mark (is a pastor) and West Coast occupies his mind more than Jesus christ and Fremantle do. One day I compiled a collection of his tweets about us and highlighted how we live rent free in his mind. He ended blocking me and so did a bunch of his freo worshippers.

That said there’s some good Freo people on there you can banter with too

 

[THE A5]

So Mcgowan has a go at BT’s commentary and Browne resorts to personal insult. Just highlights how poor the quality of journos are in footy. I dunno but 7AFL should be the ones making Browne apologise for that.

 

[bzparkes]

Sure, sure.

This is help distract me from not getting an accurate injury list.
