Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon. I think they're the only 3 Victorian teams left in the competition. At least that's what it seems like when reading the papers. In fact, over the past 2 weeks, I would not think it ludicrous if someone added up the stats and told me that 50% of all football-related articled were about Collingwood.

My Age subscription is not worth the 25 bucks and the HS is probably worse from the odd days i bother to open it. I'm sick of it. Does anyone else feel the same? There's my 2cents for the day.

i cant begin to tell u how excited i get to read the rare melbourne article, only to find out that it's bad news

Only Victories will Heal this imbalance. We must win or die.

Don't forget about the Richmond Cousins.

How long till his first Hammy goes??

Well I mean lets face. Barely anyone ( in comparison to other clubs ) support the Dees, so why would they want to read about them.

News papers still have a job, to sell papers.

Until we start performing or at least so some signs of improvement or even have something decent to report (sponsorship anybody), expect the articles to be far and few in between.

Personally, I don't think we have done so bad this pre season.

Correct, unless its really bad news or really good news you wont hear much about: Stkilda, Richmond, Bullies or melbourne and to a lesser extent the blues and essendon. Collingwood is the exception to rule. They are the slow news day fillers. Lets face it for the last 18 mths we have been making the papers generally for the wrong reasons, but in recent times things are starting to look better. Just wait until some of our recruits start winning games for us!

I can't remember the last thing I heard about Richmond that didn't involve someone being hit by a tram or the recruitment of a 31 year old

Todays paper has a lovely article on Richmond, much in the same ilk as the Ben Holland thing, but with Richo, Brown and Johnson. The AFL need to start investigating these little under the table deals at Richmond

Collingwood is the exception to rule.

I wonder what comes first ... the chicken or the egg.

Does the media follow the supporters ... or does the supporters follow the media.

Then do the "big" sponsorships deals follow the supporters or follow the media.

There in lies the answer.

Hopefully not for a while, if not at all. I have him in DT

....and further more, remember,

"No news is good news"

Couldn't agree more. Very little in the way of good news gets reported at this time of year so sometimes it's a good thing to be ignored.

As a sidenote: why do Colling@#$* get so much space in the papers when their supporters can't read?
