Maybe not the Channel 7 execs. They’re not having a good run ATM.

As compared to the nine execs

(To assume the tv stations want to sack BT for incompetence is a stretch given their recent track records in managing staff ( and indeed managing their own behaviours).

Very much an old boys club.

Melbourne deserved to win that game. Best I have seen them play for a long time.

Melbourne were superb for 20 minutes. For the rest of the game they ranged between poor and ok.

 

[Drought Break]

Are the Lions a legitimate threat this year? Great list, would hate to play a home final against them. Hopefully they don't finish 5th or 6th which would give them a home final? We should be top 4 anyway so probably wont meet them.

I’d say they are. As many options to eliminate the possibility of Carlton winning it the better

Of course they are and despite their terrible early season form are as good as anybody on their day. Melbourne proved they are vulnerable under intense pressure… but it takes a better side than Melbourne to maintain that pressure for longer than 30 minutes. Lions on balance should have won easily last night despite being pumped in the second quarter…but failed to convert a lot of opportunities.

They are definitely not enjoying home ground advantage as much this year

A Lion friend called it a Magpie-like win.

FMD BT is just the worst: how channel 7 can sit there and say “he’s great” is beyond me.
Surely the execs cringe at his behaviour.

He just lost his protector so you'd think he'd just commentate on the footy and nothing else


The shock sacking of Channel 7’s sport boss Lewis Martin has clouded the future of some of the AFL’s biggest media stars.
As the dust settles on Martin’s surprise dismissal earlier this week, what it means for one of his favourites in particular, the station’s No.1 caller Brian Taylor, is the talk of the football world.
“Lewis was the biggest supporter of BT of anyone by so far, he was BT’s guy,” one Seven insider said. “The most nervous bloke in the whole place will be BT.”
Taylor has been the subject of viewer backlash for years, even last week a petition was started on social media to have him removed because of his allegedly biased and inaccurate commentary.
But under Martin’s reign, Taylor could do no wrong and had a ticket to do as he pleased, despite his gruff alpha man manner.

“BT would be terrified because he has upset a lot of people along the way,” another former Seven staffer said. “They say be careful of the shoes you tread on, on the way up.

“Well those people he has trodden on are now going to be in charge. A lot of the producers work with him begrudgingly because Lewis says he is the guy.

“Now there is no one protecting him so I think he would be pretty scared of how life might play out.”

That’s good news.

Interesting.

Probably not a good time to be the subject of some underground public backlash…

Personal opinion…. I don’t see bias from BT nor really care. It’s his increasing general incompetence that’s the issue, to the extent that he no longer seems to know some of the rules. He wants to be bigger than the game and as a result of that just talks a lot of crap and useless short term predictions that invariably are wrong…. Often he will make the opposite prediction a minute later.

To be fair there are a lot of parallels between the Berry 50 metre penalty and the Neal-bullen deliberate out of bounds. Both stupid acts that cost the game and then the recipients nailed very difficult shots

( Albeit Steeles kick didn’t put us in front but was in fact the sealer, whilst for mcluggage a point probably would have sufficed)

Swans have had slow starts & lost the first qtr in most matches this year.

They'd wanna fix up their first quarters before the finals. Wouldn't want to start finals like that.

 

[DoubleO7]

When are teams going to tighten up on Sheezel?

Personally, I prefer they don't fix up their first qtrs.

Agreed it’s not good for us that Freo is up on Syd as they have a decent month ahead also.

What they are also doing is showing the comp how to beat Sydney. Can they keep it up for 4 quarters tho?

Gulden 5 touches
Heeney 6 touches
Warner 6 touches

 

[danielnajdek]

Think Warner has been drinking his own bath water.
