Biased/incompetent media coverage

[Avalor]

360 and on the couch only mentioned how bad Bulldogs were and not a single word on WC....

Status quo - everything as normal then.

Normally if gary ly-on(other blokes wives) does not mention us it because he cant find anything bad to say about us.
As for barret, you just know this weeks will be something like: If they can't beat geelong at home it's going to be a long season for them

On the last 2 weeks' performance more likely to be something Kennedy and long...

Yeah was annoying but the story is probably how lame the WB are the pressure and intensity of the last few years has disappeared and they are last after winning a flag a year ago ..

It’s gonna take a couple wins on the road before we crack a mention anywhere. The more important story to their ‘nationwide’ (see:Victorian) audience would be how bad the dogs have become since their flag.

Footy Classified ran the same story, Hutchy and Lloyd squeezed in a ‘West Coast wasn’t as bad as I expected’ and moved along.

Cometti? Whilst he knew, he would never correct or criticise his eastern colleagues who were totally wrong about matters West Coast. I remember commentators being surprised Glass was not marking the Victorian full forward, despite Easy having taken on that role for months. Did Cometti enlighten them? Never. Him and Zemplas try so hard to be unbiased they might as well be Vics.

please don mention Cometti and Zemplas together.

Denis was clever enough and classy enough to cover for the Vic's problems

I think it's one of those things where it's unprofessional to call out a fellow commentator's mistake on air. They all just tend to completely ignore each others obvious mistakes and keep going.

Can add the graphic in yesterdays game calling Jeremy McGovern Mitch McGovern to the list of incompetent media coverage

Another one I noticed was they listed Brayden Ainsworth (of WCE) as starting on the bench in the Suns v Blues games (instead of Ben Ainsworth). Good to see Bubba get his first game out the way, albeit with a different club...

 

[Astro7]

Am happy for West Coast to fly under the radar in regards to Eastern press! Better than placing all that hype and expectations on them?

 

[Wellillbe]

Don't worry if we beat Geelong this week we will not be mentioned again it will be all about how Dangerwoodlett combo dont push back hard enough to help out there defence. Has a feeling of 2015 about it where we were not even meant to make the 8 and no one over this side of the country knew we existed until about round 10

Different year, same shit. I don't bother watching them anymore.

I have Big Footy to inform me and talk about my club and i rate the opinions of some on here above 90 percent of the so called journalists/ex-players providing ad nauseam commentary and analysis.

When you think about it, it's actually a good thing they don't talk about us. We don't have to look at Garry Lyons and Damian Barretts face or listen to their voices.

That's a gift that just keeps giving all year round.

David King giving Hurn lots of love on vfl 360. 17 first half posessions, all absolute lasers, juxtaposed with the st kilda captain Geary who gave nothing when facing adversity and marc murphy.

Also said how vic centric the media are. Always liked kingy!

I seriously rate some of the people i argue with about west coast the most on here better than the commentators when it comes to us.

At least they know their fkkkn names and whether or not they retired five years ago or not

 

[lewigie]

That's why people should be listening to podcasts about True Footy.

George Grilusich was the best ever.

 

[javaguice]

If we get any form.... I've heard rumours about our 06 premiership

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Does a piece on On The Couch now about kicks of the week. None of Hurn's 22 entries rated a mention.

Hurn didn't kick the ball he made 22 leather babies then traded them for 3 Brownlow votes

To be fair they do look extremely similar.

Shuey joked on the Backchat podcast that his dad used to be a postman around the Keilor area where Venables lived. He laughed it off but if it later came out that they were in fact half brothers I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[flyinghi64]

So if we beat Geelong does that mean Geelong are no good or just played badly.
It won't be because we were better or good as it will all be about Geelong not being able to travel or having an off night.

I want us to have a really good win just to hear the Vic press feedback.

Heard his dad had pace used to breakaway from dogs chasing him when he was a posty

Who ever we beat this year will get roasted in the media the following week for being poor, this will happen to about round 10-12

Don't you see, meth is performance enhancing.

Normally I can only smoke around 6 cigarettes in a session. Get on the glass barby and I'm up around 30/40.

Tainted? I'm not saying, just asking the question ...
