Did anyone notice? Bias Channel 7

Watching the replay I didn't notice anything overly biased, though Carey's comments on Rances thuggish act were ludicrous. Gawn got heaps of praise. 

I guess familiarity can influence the perceptions of commentators and the slant they take. After all the 7 commentators get to see Richmond play every other day and barely know anything about our players. Heard more than once commentators say they have never seen such and player play before and one admitted he hadn't seen Gawn play. They tended to focus on Richmond's inability to stop our offensive play rather than the quality of our forward surges because they know their game better.

If our improvement is the real deal they will get used to us on prime time next season. If they could Channel 7 would rejig  the draw and feature more up and coming sides of the moment but our lame seasons finishes over the past two seasons condemns us as unappealing TV fodder for the following season.

    Agree... bias comments, love for Cotchin and even said Rance was silly and probably just a week. 

    Rance's act was gutless and cowardly. 

    If you compare Rance's act of hitting a man in the head whilst on the ground with glassing a woman in a public bar ,well then yes it does look merely silly. It's all about perspective and Carey has plenty of it.:)

    I cannot wait for the day they have an app like MLB.TV where I can watch the tv and sync the audio seamlessly with any radio station that is doing the game

     

    That way this thread would be null and void.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
