Media do it again

[wyatt]

Apparently Lewis "Peake" was elbowed in the groin by Michael Firrito.

[Untamed Snark]

Got them both!
So far Fairfax (farFacts?) is ahead but i'm sure they others will do thier best to catch up

[johnno]

I can see in the near future the footballing media confuse Parker and O'Keefe a few times as well in the same manner they confuse Mattner and Grundy.

I think it is this

You do realise I posted on May 12 ??

One Week at a Time - Darcy brought up Mummy and Jordan Lewis punching on last year when they bumped into each other on an end of season trip to LA. Mummy didn't really want to give them much but Quarters kind of pressed on and Darcy said he heard that Mummy knocked him out. Dead set these guys are muppets. It happened a good 6 months ago and they want to bring up 2 players having a biff overseas. Talk about the footy you clowns and show a little respect. You could tell Mummy didn't want to discuss it. Low, low grade tv presenting. CLOWNS!!!!

Also quarters called Lewis, Leroy again. I'm thinking they do it on purpose now just to piss us off! Ha!

I must admit it was nice to tune is to the 2 footy shows on Sunday and see them finally put on some swans players for once.

CH 7's gameday had ROK and Ch 9's footy show had Jude Bolton on.

Honestly couldn't tell you the last time any footy shows had swans players on in Melbourne.

It was a weekend worth of Swans. Goodes on BTG, ROK on Gameday, Jude on TFS and Mummy on OWAAT. Mummy also doubled up for a guest position on the Bigpond AFL review show.

new blog published - looks at media's coverage of interstate teams, especially the Sydney Swans. Touches on some of the points of this thread
The Harbour Views - Sydcentric AFL

Footy is national - deal with it

Victorian media need to embrace the competition as a national one. From next year, the competition reaches a new level of nationalisation with more than one team in each state (except for poor old Tassie). It?s another step away from the VFL and like it or not, foundation clubs need to get used to sharing their game with new clubs on the scene

Swans sail in the wet - AFL.com.au

Jet's gets called 'Leroy' again. This time on the official AFL site.

** They corrected it after someone notified them on Facebook.

[Bleed Red Blood]

Did anyone else catch Harley call our Reid Ben today?

[ABloodsMan]

Sure did. They also screwed up AJ as LRT, and Seaby as Grundy.

[BSA5]

Bird was called McGlynn at least once.

[ScottH]

Bird was called McGlynn at least once.

Mcv/Shaw.

[R-1]

Bruce called Hanners Ryan O'Keefe like 3 times.

It was painful watching the "replay" today.

That group of commentators (Bruce, Denis, Richo and Harley) are bored and just going through the motions. Apart from Rich, they didn't really want to be there and it showed in their commentry.

Constantly got players names wrong and spent most of the time talking amongst themsleves about whatever in joke was in this week.

What makes it even worse is you get no statistics during the breaks on how the game is going, even though it's taking them 3 hours to get through the replay anyway.

And don't mention the extended ad breaks, which ruins the continuity as well.

It's a @@@@@@@ disgrace what Channel 7 are getting away with at present for this time slot.
