Media not at all remorseful about bad mouthing Vlastuin and Grimes. Robbo, Jordan Lewis and Tom Morris all maintaining the belief that they both excessively exaggerated the action. Just watch it the incidents from all angles and in slo-mo and you will see the MRP got them both right 100%

This is why I keep advocating to go AFL media-free.

How many of you read the articles, tuned into the shows, etc only to get stressed at nonsense?

It was no big deal to me.

Storm in a teacup? Okay, my teacup is in the cupboard.

Go media-free, watch the games, then talk about it on here... you’ll miss nothing!

But our players might - crucial games that will determine our fate in 2020. Media must be held to account- posters on here helped that to occurr.
We just want a fair go for this club.
The conditions have still been set to get Tom Lynch up before the tribunal for another minor action. Suspended for a final. SHocking!

Should we fight to control the media by force?

It’s easier and less hassle to learn to ignore it.

Plus, it’s easier because it’s true - they’re a very, very small bubble in the grand scheme of things, so living your life consistent with that is always more natural than treating them like all-powerful gods that need to be pleased so our players don’t get distracted by them and lose football matches.

The media, left unchecked or without balance, shape the court of public opinion. So must be held to account. One of the fundamental planks of democracy. Houli's suspension was doubled as a perfect example some years back for an act that players are getting little or no penalty for in 2020:

That article just re-inforces to me, what a hypocritical twerp McLachlan is, he was the person who intervened in the 1st place. He then has the gall to tell supporters not to boo Houli. Honestly the bloke is an absolute joke as a CEO, Flog. :mad:

I thought he was going to question the Balta hit on Kennedy!
It was odd Baltas marking attempt where he kneed someone in the head was a free but Liam Ryan’s marking attempt Where he kneed Markov in the head wasn’t.
