Richo tried his hardest to remain neutral while pointing out that our defenders were getting pinged for things that should have been play on. But Darcy pissed me off when he referred to Balta's shoulder tap as "taking him out" or some such. It was a flop Dangerdive would have proud of.
Its impossible to listen to Darcy but Richo is unbelievably bad too.
The combination of those 2 and Bradshaw is unbearable.

I was trying to work out last night if he was the worst pure AFL journo in the country - not ex players in the media, or game commentators like Hudson - but as a journo covering the game, giving opinions etc.

I reckon he is. He has some strong competition eg Barret, Ralph etc but I reckon he takes the cake with his regular idiocy and unprofessionalism. He’s just a dumb bogan with a pen imo.
I suppose after Sheahan, how the hell did HE become Chief Football Writer at the Hun??

I still can’t work out how someone who can’t put a coherent sentence together and clearly struggles with his vocabulary became a journo in the first place.

Probably had a quadrillion trillion more brain cells back then.
The booze sorted them pesky critters out.
We can all see the results.

The thing with Slobbo is that, in writing us off in round 6 every year with a 50% win ratio, he is eventually going to be right. One year we won't win a premiership. Could be this year. He will call himself a genius quickly deflecting from the fact that he was wrong 2, 3 or however many years in a row.

We need the motivation - they gave it to us in spades last year and they are doing it again.

Hardwick loves the them and us - most teams thrive on it, the tigers have said they used it last year and they will use it again.

It’s still April ffs - we are still in the 8 and playing like crap - and they want to write us off, yeah they don’t learn.

Did he sleep thru last season?
Thats exactly what every footy commentator was saying during last season.
But as soon as we won it, the narrative changed very quickly.
They all wanted Geelong or Brisbane to win.

*smile* he is a dik.
He hasn't stopped blowing into his jocks Collingwood losing a GF.
But he brushes aside all of our success.
They will come triple harder on us, then what hawthorn has copped
