Are we escaping media scrutiny?

[one-eyed]

The Dees and Daniher and Freo and Connolly are coming under fire after losing their first 2 games yet not much is being said about us apart from a Garry Lyon quip last night equating us to a VFA side compared to the top sides.

Are the media going soft on us?



 

[letsgetiton!]

lyon is a tosser, if we are that bad we would not have pushed the swans and lead in the last q.

we had one of those "honorable" losses this weekend and cos we still have key players out the media has been kind.
 
a loss to the skunks this week and u watch the media go to town on us and terry

we have shown more promise in this last week than many sides

[WilliamPowell]

I think we are not coping it yet. If we lose another 3 or 4 they will be coming after us big time I reckon

It will be the Dees this week (in Melb at least)

Yeah but Dees were expected for top 4 and Dockers tipped for the Premiership quite a lot so they're always going to cop it more.

Many tipped us for simply 11-14 so its not really outside their expectations for us to lose the first two.

I think he was comparing the ruck from the weekend.

[torch]

we should be too ...

If we don't win this week and generate some winning momentum it's not going to get any easier with the Dogs, Eagles and a pumped up Geelong to come before back to back trips to Adelaide  .

Lyon probably meant that but it sounded like he meant the whole club the way it came out.

[Ramps]

if we lose this week its gonna be a very long first half of the season- very long indeed.

[Moi]

They're usually very keen to give us a hard time, so I don't understand why they're being quiet about us.
Maybe they're trying to be fair for once and know that we're down in key position players.
Nice to think they were, but probably just an oversight lol.
I'm sure we'll get our fair share when it's due.
Probably saved by the Blues going down abysmally this week

Stupid idiots from the Gold Coast Bulletin had an article in yesterday's paper saying we should put blinkers on Richo cause he looks at the replays on the big screen too much.  Not happy Jan!  Obviously a quiet day in the office there

They're just regurgitating old overused stuff from 7 years ago. Like saying we come ninth all the time or sack coaches  .

We're probably getting it easier from the media because they know Wallace is safe for the next 2 years, whereas they can smell blood at the Dees and Dockers.   

[mightytiges]

Prepare to be bombarded this week. Tim Watson said after the game we lack heart and application and Mark Robinson called us shameful. Sadly can't disagree with either  .

[letsgetiton!]

lets hope the media take us and terry to hell and back

This a a very valid point.
As he is looking and pointing at the screen, he forgets to push back into his defensive zone therefore allowing the opposition to easily exit our forward 50. . Happened 4 times last night
