News Media Thread, 2024: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

There no need to get pissed. The collective inside four walls know the contribution of team. Also Yeo won the medal

The seniors don't care about praise. They care about the youth coming through hence would more then happy to go unrewarded by media.

It's like parent doing all the work for the kid project and getting no praise but kid getting praise.

Oh god, our COLLECTIVE MINDS?

I can't watch Knights pressers. My mind always wanders to thinking if he is what Bogs Diamond would have looked like as an older man if the warden's men hadn't beaten him to a pulp.

I love them. The way he pouts his duck lips while considering each new question from the media is so funny I can't look away

I had these exact thoughts watching 360/On The Couch this afternoon. No doubt Harley has had a positive impact on the group and the club, but to say it’s all down to him is just untrue.

Wait , what , are they watching our games now or just highlights

We featured on First Crack, AFL360, and On The Couch this week. Can't remember the last time that happened!

Probably when we lost by 170 points last year

Just highlights, non have even mentioned BBW screamer, all thought HR's grab was better...bunch of bandwagoners!!

More accurately, Harley Reid was featured on all those shows with the narrative being how he’s single handedly rescued the club from oblivion

Very little mention of anything else the club has done to improve or others who have contributed other than Harley

Yep, about as shallow as it gets, to be expected I guess.

I don't know how much more you can expect when Whateley has declared he is not watching our games for the rest of the year.

The "Are there teams in WA ?" Is so entrenched in their thinking they know no other way.
But don't forget, Harley is not West Aussie, he is a Victorian so he is one of ours, is their thinking.
I hope he signs on with us and becomes a one club player.

Is this an actual thing he said or a meme?

yep, nothing about the changes to out of field staff or how our veterans after years of injury riddled seasons are basically back to their best.

 

[Tugga27]

He actually said on 360 that he was considering not watching them but changed his mind.
Odd thing to say when you get paid to watch games I thought.

That’s a shame. He’s one of the few presenters I actually have time for, always thought he was reasonably balanced towards all teams. Good caller for footy and cricket as well.

He's a piss-ant

I reckon he dresses Robbo in a gimp suit after Monday’s show.

He's an absolute fwd-flanker with one of THE most punchable faces on tv

 

[Jumpoff Joey]

Its his prerogative and unfortunately it wont change much like the victorian media landscape.

It would be a dream of mine to have Norf/Saints fold and probably Essendon/Dogs merge + another interstate team to broaden Aussie rules in general so it isnt so Vic Centric with basically half the comp in one town.

Quality highlights reel for our defence

Stumbled across these graphs on Twitter. Extracted from a North supporter blog page but they might be of interest - they’re based on % of game time played by age

Our youngsters as a group only play less game time than Hawthorn and North who both lack much in the older age group

 

[Jumpoff Joey]

Hough is really starting to remind me how much we have missed Brad Sheppard.

Hopefully has a career like him.

You mustn't have paid much attention, the bloke clearly has a bone to pick with west coast, bitter little weasel
