I'd say the employment status in terms of independence versus editorial control are two very different things.

Geelong think their [censored] doesn't stink. Got the 90s Essendon thing going.

Geelong also have a local newspaper where the journos are very good at burying any bad Cats stories. Similar to the Courier-Mail and the Broncos, especially in the 1990s. Some of the stuff that never made the public domain.....

I agree. Won't stop them continuing until Wednesday night.

But they are happy for Barrett etc to batter us into submission so their favourite teams get what they want.

That is what the Geelong compliant media are pushing for.

Geelong have been working Bailey Smith for 2 years. Probably the same with Clarry. Media do their bidding every time. Also Pies and Blues. Good luck controlling the narrative when any of them are involved.

Barrett too. Both clowns.

But we don't definitively know the leaks are coming from the club. There's a lot of external parties dealing directly that are privy to information and it could be any of them. But the narrative is the club is a sieve and plenty have bought it.

We did have Cerra but not the draft capital, and Houston before the shambles narrative took over.

And using the media to influence the club to accept a lowball trade offer. If Pert contacted other clubs to gauge interest in bettering Geelong's offer, isn't that just doing business? His only mistake would be that nothing stays 'within the room' in clubland, and asking for that is naive.

If he said things were OK nobody would have heard it.

Outstanding win. Abbey Holmes devastated.

Think the bid for Kako will be the Saints. Tom Morris mentioned it on SEN this morning.

Umps are ****house

No, and no doubt at Geelong's direction.

You know they won't. Got to keep the Cats at the top somehow.

It is beyond ridiculous and HQ has to be at least tolerant of it continuing as they do stop a lot of things getting into or being discussed in the media. As long as Houston gets to Collingwood or Carlton hey?

Not sure where to put this. How much of 'MFC is a shambles' is a media construct and how much is the truth?

Texans, Falcons, Lions

We can win the flag next year

Well according to BT James Magner built Eastlink by himself.

He's a HQ shill, and HQ loves Geelong, Carlton and the Filth, so Purple does too.

Used by the media or supporters of clubs they think are one.

Did the Trac drama appear at or around the same time that John Noble wanting a trade to the Suns? Just spitballing here.
