Iāve held back, but now Iāll weigh in.
In the last 10 years, Fremantle has played 8 games in Tasmania, while Collingwood has played 2, Carlton 1, Richmond 0, West Coast 3, and Gold Coast 4. The Bulldogs also deserve a mention with 5 games, and Geelong has just 1.
The article I referenced was written by a Cats fan, clearly displaying bias by outlining what Geelong needs to do to win. Thatās journalism at its finest!
All I can say is, don't judge a man until you've walked a mile in his moccasins. As a Freo supporter, even when things are going well...
Hereās the thing: when watching footy, we expect neutral umpires first, and neutral commentators next. Like it or not, as that article shows, thereās an unwritten favoritism. When a similar decision goes against one team, itās āthe right call,ā but when it happens to a non-Victorian club, itās āa terrible decision.ā There are some excellent commentators out thereāLuke Hodge is the best, even Richo and Bucks do a good job. But seriously, when weāre at the pointy end of the season and youāre writing an article on AFL.com.au, donāt make it about your personal bias or desired outcome. It just shows the AFL endorses this on their platform. The truth hurts... I know, a good sob story for a lowly team that supposedly deserves nothing.
I call bullshit on this because i distinctly remember Cats have played North in Tassie multiple times in a recent stretch.Iāve held back, but now Iāll weigh in.
