Such a short term graph in the scheme of things. Not really fair, it could be quite deceptive in the long r…
Yet still overvalued.

I can't believe what that News Corp journo said on the show that only exists to give News Corp a chance to make headlines for their own publications.
At least Sam Landsberger set him right.
Talked about how powerful a club we are.
Membership, crowds etc.
If we win this week, we've gone from 3 wins to 6 and increased our percentage from below 50 to 70.
North on the other hand have pretty much gone backwards despite priority picks.
Don't pull a crowd, but yeah, we're worse.
That whole show seems to be about generating soundbites sadly

What happened in 2008 that made better news than a wce flag... another housing boom?
There must be a way to get an age joke here...
Keys turning 60 made the news?

Geez the Vic Media throwing the boots into West Coast tonight on multiple shows. Crap list that no one wants to coach and who would want to is tonight’s theme.
Smeg Head
Just take a bite
Must be collectively bricking themselves that we could end Carltanks season.
Not going to pretend our list is great but the way they go on about it is ridiculous given what Richmond is going to look like next year.
They obviously either don't watch us or more than likely don't care.
I won't name the aging stars but surely Ginbey, Jack Williams, Hough would've been worth a mention.
Yep
Saying we shouldn't have sacked Simmo when 2 months ago, the same people were the ones calling for his head.

An article from the HS about the AA side.
The fact that Gov wins 3 out of 5 of the stats, with 1 draw pretty much says it all.
Weitering only leading on spoils.
Also, Kingy and Montagna gave Weitering a clip last night saying "he beats his man but that's about it. Doesn't seem to help others or provide leadership down back".
I'll admit to being biased, but Gov by a mile.
Would love to see him grab his 5th AA.
Now this week’s clash in Perth between the Eagles and Blues could decide who likely partners Harris Andrews as the other key defender.
Weitering’s case from a narrative perspective had it all.
A consistent squad member that had been consistently overlooked, he was the wall keeping the dam from bursting down back for the Blues.
It seems the flood has come, however.
McGovern is one of footy’s forgotten men, as the Eagles toiled away in obscurity for years, and the premiership hero sat out consistently due to injury.
In 2024, McGovern is back to his best – if not in career-best form.
The eye test still stacks up for the Blue in those 1v1 contests, but statistically, McGovern has the edge.
The Eagle’s ability to distribute out of the backline gives him a distinct advantage over Weitering and as Carlton flounders, it seems their star fullback is set to miss out again.
VERDICT: McGovern over Weitering

JACOB WEITERING VS JEREMY MCGOVERN
Like Carlton’s finals hopes, Jacob Weitering seemed a lock for this team a month ago.Now this week’s clash in Perth between the Eagles and Blues could decide who likely partners Harris Andrews as the other key defender.
Weitering’s case from a narrative perspective had it all.
A consistent squad member that had been consistently overlooked, he was the wall keeping the dam from bursting down back for the Blues.

This is a good read into how much of a shemozzel Seven West media are in and it’s not just them. The other traditional linear broadcasters are in a similar boat such as nine and ten

I compare the situation broadcasters face like a taxi licence. broadcasters had the monopoly on broadcasting tv in Australia through their broadcast licence. With the advent of short form media via streaming services and social media the government had to severely reduce the licence fees. Think of this disruption akin to Uber coming in and saying **** you taxis we are taking your slice of the pie. The monolithic broadcasters hanging onto their print media and archaic and slow content production e.g. big brother, farmer wants a wife are now competing with a plethora of home super stars who can pump engaging content out by second
Nowadays our traditional broadcasters are also seeing a huge decline in advertising revenue (hence kept a float by gambling adds)
With that pressure comes the toxic cultures, job layoffs etc
Seven West Media has even bigger problems than Bruce Lehrmann - InDaily
