AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
When Victorian clubs benefit it's tradition, when non-vic clubs benefit it's an unfair advantage.
Never underestimate the chain link fence.

Vic media. Bias Victorian institutions that masquerade as national footy news. They’ve ended up like this because “journalists” like Morris, McClure, Barrett, Wilson etc have been shut out of the loop from non Victorian clubs. So now basically favour anything Victorian. Great place Victoria, lived there for over a year at one stage. Nice people. I actually didn’t mind the weather. Excellent place to go out for a meal. But when it comes to footy a decent amount are as ignorant and dumb as you’ll ever get. If Robbo, Gerard, BT, Darce etc said it on radio it must be true.

Not only Vic media, they're just the largest pool. Seems to generally be parochial bias toward <insert media personality's own state/club/clubs with similar circumstances>, depends on the issue though. For general Vic bias about travel, player retention or go-home factor, I think most non-Vic personalities tend to stick together more. On things like COLA, academies, Port's jumper, knowing much about clubs/players from other states - it's a mixed bag at best. Over here in SA, Mark Ricciuto (that paragon of thoughtfulness) for example, was very much anti-COLA, has spread misinformation about academies - basically repeating Eddie's talking points. Gerard Healy, Jono Brown are much more reasonable when Swans or academies in general come up (although the latter knows much less about us) because they're connected to us/Brisbane. Though I've been pleased to hear even Vic-centric commentary teams at times this year bring up the 'would we be asking about academies if the Swans weren't doing as well' point.

How Callum has excelled in the midsI really like the MP. The site tends to avoid the usual cliches and follow the herd mentality prevalent in mainstream AFL media
Case in point - the AA underrated team, which coincidentally features 2 swans.

The Cripps Clause: Should the AFL consider NBA-style loyalty bonus?
Should AFL clubs be allowed to use a bonus outside the salary cap to keep star players?
Not directly Swans related, but I found it funny.
Carlton have been poaching interstate players for the best part of 40 years (or as long as I can remember), and now they are trying to low-ball their captain so out comes the vic media mafia in support.
