Flavour of the Month.

[Biffen 12,441]

The Media and TV will be all over us this week for sure.

Hopefully we "take it one week at a time"

[Adzman 2,085]

The wheels have fallen off the tiggy train. The media down here need to talk about another Victorian team other than Geelong,  and it very well could be us.

The dees are red hot, but we all know not too get too far ahead of ourselves.

We won't get much of a mention I don't think, will be more about the fall of the dogs

Agree. That seemed the be all the commentators or media talked about!

Good ... Eagles over there this week.

[Binmans PA 26,526]

I think those saying we won't get much focus are a little naive.

After the Adelaide win, Robbo was singing our praises on AFL360, as was GW. So I expect quite a bit of that this week. Healy also pumps us up when we're playing well. 

Still, a bit of pressure like that in the media is a good test for a young side.

If we're going to win a final, the best time to deal with that pressure is in the home and away games.

I'm concerned King has been talking us up as a premiership threat the last few days.

Don't generally rate his view...but hope he is on the money this time.

[radar 1,858]

Who cares media view. 

I'm only worried about 4 points each week. 

[Nasher 33,176]

We're the only team to presently be on a three game winning streak.  I looked at the ladder and got a touch of vertigo.

That'll be the talking point - as it is alreadyfrom the AFL websites 'Things we learned this week'. In all seriousness - whilst no one can fault the dogs finals series last year, they did finish 7th - not 1st - and the competition has had roughly a decade of premiers being a powerhouse team - you just can't look at the Dogs of '16 through the same lens  and suggest that they have a premiership hangover... its not fair on them in actuality.

Exactly, all this talk of "in a few years" is nonsense, we can win it now because the competition is so even.

Having said that, because the competition is so even it means a lot of teams could win it this year.

The view is nice from up here Nasher. I thought we would never see it again!

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,588]

The media, including many of the exfootballer expert types are so fickle it's not funny.  Go back three or four weeks and they were talking up St Kilda as being ahead of where we are.

I think our ladder position is finally starting to reflect where we are at as a side this year.  Particulaly with the drop off of Hawthorn and Sydney, I'm with others here saying there is no team I fear in the comp.  We have either beaten or been very competitive against every team in the comp over the last two years and we have definitely moved forward this year, closing the gap between our best and worst, our percentage proves it - Roos was very right on that measure.

we may be a flavour but it'll be called  "sweet or sour "   are they the real Deel ?? etc etc

we could win the flag and there'd be the shlts in the media ( we know who you are, and we know you read this !! ) who would still offer up something like " Did Melbourne deserve the cup ? " etc

There's a clique  out there in media land who just aren't into us..

It's them....not us
