No, it's because it causes a tirade of STFU posts on forums like this.

I'm pretty sure there are Nutri metic splinter groups plotting a coup due to the Richmondesque way it is being run

We have our membership target covered and then decide to clam up.

Personally I don't care. The message it always the same.

Yeah, agree with this.  We aren't keeping the players away from the media, we are keeping the media away from the players!  Its about time we did this.  We don't owe the media another week of free whacks ...    :P

The club can ban every player and every official they like .At the end of the day the performance on the field will speak far louder and say much more than anyone

I'd say he was...the same two players have always appeared every Tuesday for the entire year ...he looks to have replaced Goddard from last year, while Lewis is still there...

Appears the "ban" is over

Ellis B was on yesterday's Ch9 Sunday Footy Show

And Ty spoke to the media on his way into Punt Road, though I am sure the club will accuse the media of "ambushing" him in the car park

So the media aren't allowed to be critical of players? Or is it just our players they aren't allowed to be critical of and other club's players can cop whatever whacks the media dish out.

As for the "free whacks" would think we deserved them based on losing that game and then what we dished up on Saturday

The club probably knows they already get more than their allocated quota of whacks on this very site WP! That is the reason for the media embargo.  :snidegrin

Sorry WP, my bad.  I had totally forgotten about the compulsory pessimism thing in here (a fan site?) when it comes to defending the club or our players ... it wont happen again   :P

People can be positive, can defend our players anytime they want all I did was ask a question  :-\

I read your post and got the impression from that that media shouldn't be whacking our players.

They can whack who they like.

My issue with what the club did with this media ban was they cheated us the members & supporters.

Just think we deserved better than them hiding away and not facing the music, just came across as being a bit gutless

I didn't see the point in the club offering any fodder to the ravenous hordes. Wise decision IMHO. Player could have said the sweetest most honest thoughtful commentary and the wolves would have pounced. Better to shut up.

Yes, thats right.

Mollycoddle them some more and help them avoid accountability but most importantly make sure
they don't say anything that may be detrimental to the club.
