Seriously - flogs like Robbo honestly believe they speak for the majority of fans - they think they are King makers.
On one side of the coin you could say Robbo is doing his job. On the other you could say he's doing his job really really badly. There's a third side of this weird coin that says the media is packed with Richmond success resenting nuffies who are simply happy to let that rage out whenever they can.

I know we are in the Grand Final against them, but I have now come to my senses and have realised if Lil Gaddy and Paddy Waddy hold up the cup with Dead Sea Chris, I will truly understand what premiership glory is all about.
Go Gaddy! Go Paddy Waddy!

I am not on Twitter so can anyone tell me if Robbo tweeted a poll about Dangerfield?

Along the lines of "when you are required to get the ball to Gary Ablett within the rules - but you didn't - is that:
- a white lie
- gamesmanship
- cheating

I reckon the media will play into our hands - we will use it and feed of it and it strengthens our internal narrative of being hated/ disrespected by the media.

The media didn’t get Port over the line and it won’t work either for the cats.

It also gives me time to do other things and not waste too much time listening to their crap.

Can you imagine that clown Gerard on SEN first thing Monday - it will be just unbearable

And I bet we’ll hear less about it than we did about when Dusty did something similar in last year’s QF against Brisbane.

that's right YOTT. the gushing sugary spew (not just from Gerard) will fall on deaf ears in my case as well.
as i would imagine the mighty RFC.

Why the ef would anyone want to see Ablett win another premiership medal except if you are a Geelong supporter
Exactly right. What a load of *smile*. Ablett is a football mercenary that has only ever been about what’s best for himself. Stuff him. Smash em Tigers!!

Yeah, he’s already won 2, who cares if wins a third (apart from Geelong fans).

It’s not like a Robbie Flower or Bob Stilton type scenario.

I didn't see it like that, I just thought the players created more incidents than usual so they called them.

I thought the rule of the week syndrome kicked in the week before when they all of a sudden started calling blokes for stepping over the line with the ball.
Not sure you understand the concept of “rule of the week”......

This is the same bloke that left the club because of money.

I for one am not expecting any love from the media, either by the tabloids, radio networks or TV broadcasters.
I can see we will get a whimper of a mention here or there but after what I saw transpire in 2019 it was truly disgusting.

All I can say is get use to it as its truly a US vs THEM attitude

GO TIGES

I hope the media pumps up the fairytale story (not that there is one as Gablett has already won 2). As someone else mentioned, if it was Bob Skilton or Robert Flower's last game, different story.

I don't want to receive any attention/love whatsoever. That would suit us down to the ground.
