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.

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

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.

....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?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
