Lets hear what you want to get on your soapbox about

[comrade]

Media hell bent on getting Liam Jones suspended. Shut up you dorks.

[Mantis]

Media hell bent on getting Liam Jones suspended. Shut up you dorks.

From what I've heard most feel he should get off as the action wasn't excessive, but unfortunately, and like always the AFL have backed themselves against the wall due to the precedence they've set.

They really are a horribly run entity.

Jordan Lewis must have played at GWS, the over the top commentary from him was so bad he kept telling us how bad we were in the first qtr but also telling us it was a 4 goal breeze but not mentioning we were only 11 points down.

This is a design feature, not a bug. More incompetence = more media discussion = bigger ad revenue / TV rights money = bigger bonuses for Dills and Kane-o

[Bulldog Joe]

Media hell bent on getting Liam Jones suspended. Shut up you dorks.

This is my big beef.

No analysis of the incident just call for suspension.

Have a good look TURKEYS.
He did not sling and just brought him to ground with no detrimental impact.
How many times have these same media TURKEYS gone out of their way to defend Dog Acts from Toby Greene et al.

Home game final at the home ground of the opposition.

I mean seriously - is money SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN INTEGRITY! (can we start a break away league?).

And don't give me that crap about wanting more people to be able to see their teams. We just locked thousands out by playing at the back to the future feel good nostalgia generator WINDY HELL.

Play it at Marvel. I get it for Prelims. But first week and maybe second, let's reward the home team.

That includes the Cats, if we are going to allow them to have Sedat Park, then lets be serious and let them play finals there if they're the home side.

Also - the GF should move around. This MCG stuff is an insult to our non-victorian teams. The real audience est regarde le television.

[Happy Days]

Media hell bent on getting Liam Jones suspended. Shut up you dorks.

This is just news cycle fodder because of the week off. Cadman kicked a goal from 50m out on the fence like 20 minutes later, maybe Jones fixed whatever it was that was making him suck before.

[jazzadogs]

Fox Footy cutting their coverage of our game 31 seconds after the final siren.

Pathetic.

[Happy Days]

No one giving us any credit for dog walking 3rd on the ladder because they voluntarily rested one good player.

based on the odds it’s kind of like most pundits consider us the actual second or third best team already, we just don’t show it on the ladder.

[GVGjr]

Tom Morris for suggesting that if Liam Jones gets suspended we should play Naughton back. Opportunistic at best and just trying to create a headline.

He added some extra mayo saying Bevo may need to ?eat humble pie? and send Naughton back. Pretty bizarre comment after we?ve just won our way through to finals but obviously Tom?s fragile ego has never recovered.

I saw that and thought there is more chance of Bailey Smith lining up next Friday than Naughton playing back.

How does this guy get a gig? Can we stop giving the idiot airtime.

How he can be Channel 9 Footy chief (or whatever) plus gigs on SEN is beyond me.

I wonder if he still has his MAGA Tshirt and hat

I guess most people deserve a 2nd chance but I felt that his return to SEN and TV was done way too early.
I find it very hard to watch or listen to him in any capacity.

I believe in 2nd chances, but as you say, way too early. Seems in the footy world, all is forgiven very quickly

It's a very matey business and there is a lot of loyalty within the friendships they strike. I just think it was a bad look for Hutchy to get him back into the fold so quickly but while I think he might have matured a bit I try to avoid as much as his content as possible.

[azabob]

What a Goose

You are being polite.

[Grantysghost]

Best part is we have the choice to not engage with him. I haven't seen or heard any of his stuff unless somebody forwards it to me :)

[Hotdog60]

Who's this Morris fella? I'm lost in this conversation.

[GVGjr]

Well we got one back on the media. A lot of them aren't worth listening to anyway.
