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.

The only bias was the love between Carey and Rance.

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.
