We mightve won the flag, but the HATE towards us has gone into overdrive.
*even before we picked up lynch "how can the premiers add the best forward into there side for nothing?"
*the Fixture
*The season was a write off after we lost Rance.
*Dusty getting reported, they made him out like he 'Barry Hall' the GWS player.
*lynch looked a 85 year old.
*7 games in a row at the MCG
*umpires destroying us week in week out.
*Grimes holding Cameron
*jack being bagged after one quite game.
*everyone baracking for GWS.
*The compensation from the loss of Ellis.

All this makes the win even sweeter to us, and it allows Dimma and the team to use the fortress mentality as a spur.

Let’s wear their hate as a pair of sunnies to shade our eyes from the glow from our premiership cups.

Notice when Grimes took a dive the media jumped all over him, yet notice the difference when Stagerfield did it in the Prelim?

As a club we need to be much much better manage the media narrative. We constantly get killed, the Grimes vs Dangerfield 'diving' contrast was huge. The Barrett, Lyon hatchet job on Ellis compensation enormous. The nonsense about the 7 home games at the end of the season. You can say we are bigger than that and get on with it - BS - the media makes the world go around.

I cannot stand Eddie Maguire, but he simply does not let this happen to Collingwood. Not managing the media is detrimental to our club. We are now are brilliantly run club, but this is one key area we need to improve.

And they also managed to ignore the fact that Zorko did it in the same game as Grimes. He was even fined for it!

Bring it on...we win those games and then let them find something else to pick on. 2017 it was a soft draw, 2019 7 consecutive games at the G. We actually never beat anyone who was good. We were just lucky and part of the AFL Illuminati.:))

More than happy for the narrative to be " Premiership Richmond " how the *smile* did they do that? For all of Fat Eddies manipulation of the media narrative, his Colonwood mob have been fairly thin on the ground recently.

That's why I'll be as cocky as I can be when other supporters start asking me questions or make comments on us.

Best thing in the last week is seeing Chokingwood supporters angry with jealousy and give me a cold shoulder at times. Stick it where the sun don't shine dude!!

Guaranteed Zips. Guaranteed it will be a draw from hell.

Top couple of the hardest draws given by the AFL.

Media have made sure of it.
Winning the premiership even more so.

Didn’t we have one of the hardest rated draws last season? You can never work this out at the start of the season. They don’t factor in things like Brisbane’s rise, Melbourne’s fall and the injuries that hit us over the first half of the season.

True Carn !

But somehow they will and it’s guaranteed that our last 7 are not at the G.

There will be a heavy emphasis on interstate trips towards the end.

That’s what I think. But ultimately it will be to the detriment of the AFL.

100k supporters will mean less $ to their coffers, to the studios & to the A’s Maso often calls them, AFL suits!

Let’s see!
