Talking Footy returns

[Uncle_Leo]

So all forms of media should have exactly the same opinion.

Not at all. But most of the opinions on 7 are the same. Lloyd was clearly in favour of Essendon but his views were countered by others. That's fine.

And going by your outstanding synopsis what happened to Darcy and Matthews ?

What happened to them? Nothing, but they were spruiking the Essendon party line the whole way through this.

Channel 7 have far greater issues to address, than their reporting of the Supplements saga.

Such as? It was one of the biggest footy stories ever.

You are on the right site if you want to hear the same opinions regurgitated a million times - Your just in the wrong forum.

I take it you are referring to the Essendon forum?

And it's people like you who want to discuss the supplements saga in every forum thread on BF - We have a board that is dedicated for this discussion - And you sound like Caro - Article from last Friday - let's discuss footy and the finals, but then dedicate 50 to 70% of the article to the supplements sage.

We are discussing the media on this board. Someone mentioned how biased Channel 7 was towards Essendon, I agreed and stated how I saw this. I wasn't actually referring directly to the "supplements scandal" as you put it. I was referring to how it was covered by a station who have 3 ex Essendon players there and 2 sycophants.

I'm not sure why you are bringing Caro into it, the discussion was in regards to Channel 7. The actual "saga" was not being discussed.

There are many great things that happen in AFL footy - Let's discuss them.

Agreed and there are plenty of boards to discuss this.

Now who on the Essendon/Channel 7 payroll are you?

Strange that according to you nearly every media personality is on the Essendon payroll.

So going by your logic that means those with an opposing view must be on the AFL payroll.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Yikes. Who said they were on the payroll? I stated channel 7 was a biased view as they have 3 former players and Darcy and Matthews

I hate arguing with Essendon fans. Go and eat some Mexican. Ole.

What you are actually saying. is that you only want to hear one view - It's simple.

Got the HTB board.

Hmm Mathews and Carey - 2 of the greats OR Caroline and Hutchy
Hmm whose opinion is more of value when talking AFL...hmmm

yep, wayne is good value when discussing issues of integrity and cheating....

Jesus Christ, tuned into Talking Footy just to see if I could completely OD on footy after watching AFL 360, On the Couch, then as much as I could stomach of Footy Classified.
Holy ****, did Channel 7 pre-record this on VHS? No wonder their coverage isn't in HD, they can't even get a HD camera for their studio...

 

[AM]

You'd reckon the first thing they would do is put together a half decent panel. They haven't.

 

[The_Wookie]

Carey is borderline incompetent in his role, should have got Matthews. Hell even Ling.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Luke Darcy having Darren Jolly on the keep list was the highlight of the episode for me.

When was this taped? Last month?

What a joke that was, apparently Talking Footy is pre-recorded earlier in the night, whereas Footy Classified is live at 9:30pm. Amateur hour yet again by Channel 7

Yeah even for SD quality it was bad.

 

[voodooguru]

Right o, Darce - let's get Wayne Carey to be Dusty Neck Tattoo's Role Model. Did Demetri-doh just call Dusty a penis cranium?

Darce's hair is 100% better tonight.

 

[voodooguru]

The ground at ANZ has been a problem RIGHT through the Fat Controller's stewardship.

Demtridoh calls all the fuss hysterical and outrageous. Even his mouthpiece Caro would arc up here, it'll interesting to see how Delicious handles this.

 

[voodooguru]

Darce takes exception, nice.

That ground was shifty.

 

[voodooguru]

All those are facts.

Oh snap! Darce brings up Mike Fitzpatrick.

Demetridoh adds disgusting to hysterical and outrageous.

 

[voodooguru]

Carey closes the "discussion" with a plea for forthrightness from AFL Hindquarters when they occasionally get it wrong.

This was Vlad at his passive-aggressive best/worst!

That was worth the price of admission (ads).

 

[voodooguru]

Jeez - I agree with Wayne again re: Gibson>>>Johnson.

Ryan Griffen's selection.

 

[Vtorians]

If Vlad remains next season talking footy is doomed, there's a uneasy feeling to the show, he happily & indignantly lies straight to the camera then shoots down any dissention without a blink of the eye, it's easy to see straight through the fat ego driven sweaty pigs bullshit except it seems, when his agenda suits a certain point of view.

 

[Papa G]

They actually had a bit of a go at Vlad last night, mainly re Olympic Stadium, Carey who's borderline ******ed and doesn't care about his rep had some digs but even Darc and Bruce piped up and called him up on a few things. His monologue about the "facts" didn't really convince anyone. Was quite enjoyable to watch. Also Stevo and Bruce having a bit of a crack at each other over the Brisbane job was good to watch. Bit of tension in that room last night.

 

[Registered User]

Eh, the Duck's ok; he's the least likely to sit on the fence. He's full of himself enough to have a crack at anyone, without caring about the consequences.

At last, Darcey actually said something by having a little jab at Vlad about the surface on Sat night

 

[red+black]

Why is Vlad even on the show?

 

[Registered User]

Yeah, Ch 7 seem to promote that it's a big coup to get him, but he's pretty much a business partner of the station, or even a de facto employee, coz they effectively pay his wage.
And it's not like he's ever gunna be objective; he's obviously always gunna provide the Commission's view/spin.

 

[red+black]

Ground was fine, players wore wrong shoes. Repeat.

 

[rapido]

The coke ate Wayne Carey's nose.
