This thread has become super cringe and yet its only one person that wants to keep it alive for whatever reason other then he/she thinks the club is being victimised in the media.

Demonland at its best.

1. Just heap [censored] on Melksham and Petracca

That's a person who's worried about his own stats."

🗣️ Luke Hodge on Christian Petracca's body language after a Kozzy Pickett goal

2. The joint is a mess. Good football clubs don't leak and they've got leaks everywhere."
   
   🗣️ Dale Thomas on the Melbourne Football Club

Sorry but Hodge has every right to comment on a players body language. Take a look at the vision, it’s not flattering to one of our highest paid senior players. I’ve got little idea of any behind the scenes workings at the club and it’s likely not as bad as it’s being portrayed but we’re not the victim here. I’m tentatively bullish on the list but we really need a strong coach (Daly for mine) and some realistic list and assistant decisions. Feels like a fork in the road…..but I feel I’ve said that before!

My sum total of media watching this year (and listening) was the Front Bar recently with big Max. Fabulous viewing. Mick Molloy and Sam sparked beautifully off Max.

No Kayo, binge, anything on 7 or 9. Except the odd evening news snippet.

Best thing I ever did, The commentariat are garbage these days and relay on clickbait statements to garner relevancy.

My recommendation to all on here bitching abotu the 4th estate. Just swithc them off and talk amongst ourselves on here. There always some good commentary, opinions and predictions whcih I enjoy greatly.

Daisy Thomas in the media? Spare me. Even Whately toes the party line in the guise of being thoughtful

Gerard Healy hates the Dees

Every week he says things that show he is biased not to us but against us !!!

Example 3rd quarter

Baker clearly crunched Langford in the neck

Healy - “just bumped him off the ball”… “fair in love and war”

Ball passed to Naughton and Dogs goal

Tom Hawkins - “Langford probably deserves a free kick high there”

Remember that part clearly. Did not realise who said bumped off the ball . Makes clear sense , Show him the money similar to HWSNBN. $$ talk

But to focus on a player not running over to give high 5s all the time. That has NEVER been Trac at all. He just is wired for the glory and not the supporting act. I want him to get back to being the ONE, where he wants to footy, demands the footy and wants to kick the goal.

My point is that IF YOU GO LOOKING THROUGH SPY CAM at many games, you can pinpoint lots and lots of players who wanted the footy and were disappointing their teammate chose another option. Lots and lots … so is Hodge going to focus that on Charlie Cameron or Izak Rankine or Jamie Elliott etc etc etc when they throw their arms up after not getting the pass !!! Really!!

Don't know what Hodges body language was when he got picked up for drink driving on the eve of the 2015 finals. He's a prat, like most of the pontificating ex-players on the media. All trying to.make a name for themselves. Sickening.

Don't get me started on David [censored] King.

I actually thought kicking to Trac was the right option. We got lucky that Koz kicked a goal. Ludicrous that Trac is being called out for something that happens dozens of times in every game.

Just watched five minutes of Footy Classified and reminded myself why I haven’t watched it for a couple of years. It’s unbelievable how some of these people get roles in the media.

Now that our seasonis over, I'm not bothering with any footy shows. I mean admittedly I watched only 360 & if we won, the couch but I don't want to hear about other teams.

I'll just continue to watch the front bar

So no new leaks out of the Demons what is going on, has there been a tightening or resolve to say nothing from Greeny and the new CEO. Whatever it is working .

We are basically invisible, if it is being controlled please give out just a little bit of good news.

The alternate view is the person who was leaking has gone.

I have no idea, just wondering does anyone have any better gossip. Go dees

Great to see the media back at it. Carro describes the Goodwin sacking as ‘disgraceful’. All sympathy now for Goody, despite her calls for almost three years for him to be sacked due to the off field rumours.

then, You read the Billings stuff, which Fox Footy have turned into another story of mistreatment. Painting the picture that he has been hard done by and giving the impression that no one knew about his delisting g until last night at dinner. FFS.

The sticking in of the boot and vitriol in the media towards us is really next level.

So according to Caro, Goodwin should have been sacked until he was and then shouldn’t have.

Imagine if one of our players verbally abused a female photographer à la Bailey Smith. Crickets.

And people think Clarry is a problem😂

Depends how well he plays this weekend.

If Geelong are as serious an organisation as every says they are, smith is going to face a fairly significant response for this.

you can’t be abusing a photographer doing her job at an open training in front of kids and families

...but it will be swept under the carpet.

He will probably be suspended for this weeks game.

Correct. He’s building a very nice little rap sheet of unsavoury incidents in his first year that the cats seemingly have been totally unwilling and unable to actually prevent or respond to.

Media will bury it like anything bad from Geelong. If it was Clarry though.......

The guy isn't right in the head. Will likely go off the rails at some point when he doesn't have the GFC to babysit him.

I for one am glad that Bailey Smith has been able to find a club which is able to accommodate his unique personality.

Yelling abuse at people, walking away, then coming back for another round after they've said nothing and you've got nothing to actually add, is never a red flag.

Also, the move has solved a significant problem he was having with autocorrect while at the Dogs.

Reckon Smith is a bigger problem child than Geelong anticipated.

He missed a few games thru fake injuries for his behavior. But Geelong won’t do [censored] now that a flag is at stake.

Clarry didn’t even have a go at that loser Tom Morris when he tried harassing him while LEAVING THE HOSPITAL during the off season. I would have personally punched him!

Clarry would never ever be rude to anyone let alone harass a female photographer for doing her job at an open training session.

Bailey Smith is a juvenile arrogant [censored]
