The footy classified show on ch 9, 9th of July 2018 said they won't talk about MFC till we beat a club above position 10 on the ladder. We suffered for years as the easy beats now we can play, they suggest this. Has it happened to any other club? What is wrong with talking about us? Us fans need to hear what the commentators views are and get some news about MFC. Are we not part of the AFL family? Why ostracize us? I hope it is tongue in cheek, though they didn't mention anything about the Darwin game and they intend not to talk about the dogs game. WOW! If we don't beat Geelong then nothing for us, peculiar.

I find their statement offensive. Wouldn't happen to the bigger clubs.

Saw that as well.

if applied to all clubs will limit the show which could be a good thing.

AFL would love the show as it allows enough breaks for adverts and loves talking about Collingwood. They may not play a team above ten in the run home with their soft draw, so will be interesting

We beat North who are 9th.

Can't watch Footy Classified with that bloke Caro on. 

Watch Talking Footy instead.

But I bet they raved on about Collingwood who have only beaten us out of all the teams in the 8

Yes, breathless hypocrisy.


They only get mentioned when they lose or have a bad game. Anytime they play well they get no credit whatsoever like other sides do when they bounce back.

Wrong.  If you are starting a line of comment at least get the facts and quotes  correct to avoid misinterpretation.

It was part of " good call bad call" .. The quote was " should the MFC be starved of serious oxygen ?" as posed I think by LLoyd.  Hutchy replied it was unfair but understood the issue behind it, and hence no serious coverage on finals was his meaning, unless serious scalps claimed.

Lloyd BTW believes MFC will come good, as said on a recent prior show as does David king.

Talking Footy is for children. If only i was prepared to give News Corp. money I would have Foxtel but alas.

 

Oh, sorry didn't quite understand the commentary. Not too focused on the show. Easy to misinterpret if not too knowing of their program. How come that was all they mentioned of the Dees? You can see that others heard the same thing as me. Poor media communication, though I apologise for the misleading post. Thanks for the reply and correction 17.

I just watched the first segment of On The Couch with Jonesy replacing Lyon. It was interesting to hear what he said about us and how we were playing, particularly when he mentioned Port. I agreed with everything that he said up until he said at the end of the day Port were the better team on the night. I hope that's not what they really believe. Port were not the better team on the night, we were the better team and we stuff it up. I would've liked to have seen him say more than "we were disappointed with the result", I want them to be &*$# off that they let a game that was in our grasps in every way slip through our fingers. 

The numbers all look good and we can say all the KPI's look good on paper but until they get translated into wins they mean nothing.

Can you explain this statement for me please? Who is this Caro bloke?

Your idealogical resistance is preventing you from accessing a smorgasbord of sport. Cycling, golf, MLB, NBA. Not to mention National Geo etc. Of course, there are devices that let you get it for free...

If she was a 'bloke' she might be taken more seriously. She gets under the skin of many but still one of the best writers in the game.

I hate nitpicking what players say publicly but that stood out to me as well. The tone of his answer was sometimes you have to accept that you got beaten on the day. It was a shrug of the shoulders type of response. I wasn’t a fan and I’d hope if Jonesy watched it back he would word it differently. I don’t want acceptance of any loss by the players, least of all a loss where we were the dominant side from a statistical point of view.


Jesse currently on Fox’s The Weekend Lowdown. Refreshing to see him smile and have some fun. Scrubs up well too does Jesse. Never seen this show before, looked like some lighthearted fun.

When the question was put to him, he would have Nathan Jones as the player to kick for goal to win after the siren from the 30-40m range. 

Touched on his midfield minutes, more stay at home forward now since the return of Gus and Viney into the team.

Anyone else apart from me prefer us to be NOT in the limelight, doesn't agree with us. Not until we have credence.

Yep, willmoy. I'd prefer the Dees' players to stay out of the media - organisations that know how to exploit 'for the glory of it'. The media and the AFL world remind me of an old joke: Q: What do sharks and lawyers have in common? A: Professional courtesy. Media personalities are leeches. It's 'mate this...' and 'mate that...' , '...now show us your dirty laundry in the spirit of good humour...or better still, let us show the viewers/listeners/readers your dirty laundry that we found!'

Yes, can't remember exactly, but Lewis got left holding the bag, when something was said about the Media itself, with that Tiger boofhead

When no one agreed with him.

Well there ya go, I was only concerned with the revival !

I thought the footy show having embarrassed Petracca with his basketball skills may have contributed to his poor performances.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
