When will we get due credit?

White Winmar · Wed 08 Jul 2009 5:13pm

With respect to everyone on here, we actually lost the game. That is if you read the media reports, listen to the whining and sniping from Scarlett and Thompson about the umpiring etc. "The best", one though comes from this week's Inside Football. Some genius called Mick Ellis wrote the following, and I quote, "Minus Ottens and Johnson, and at the Docklands, we're scoring that an MCG win to the Cats, but they know it won't be easy." What on earth is an "MCG win", when the game was played at the Docklands? This must take the biscuit for drawing the longest bow since the Battle of Agincourt. And this clown probably gets paid to write this shyte.

To invoke a great old Australian colloquialism, "Strewth!" What does this St Kilda side have to do to get due credit?

I thought this was supposed to be a competition, and now there is finally a competitor.....they don't seem very excited about it huh

Did you actually read what he said.

Why the insecurity re the credit.....

HarveysDeciple · Wed 08 Jul 2009 5:17pm

Yeah exactly...you can't look at a game and say "if we transposed that to another venue we would beat you". It's a load of garbage.

The only facts that came out of the game are, St.Kilda won, and the gap between the two sides is far closer then it was 10 months ago.

Unfortunately...and fortunately, yes! I can't wait...it will be the largest novelty-size extended middle finger to the football media in the history of the VFL/AFL.

Well he is in the media so he must hate us.

Stands to reason doesn't it?

Who cares - we will go about our business as well as we can. Everyone else can keep talking about all the other teams. Better for us.

Supporters and the club need to give credit where and when it's due.

Our time will come.

Everyone else can get stuffed.

Well it does on here. What happens when HD becomes a fully fledged Journalist. Will he be the first moderator who is a troll.

He will automatically hate us or not get membership to the journo Union.

Will have to be killed once he is fully fledged.

Sorry HD.

What has winning the flag got to do with writing a supposedly objective account/opinion about Sunday's game? Agree entirely about winning a flag to get credibility, but this is a direct comment about a particular game! Chook23 I did read what he wrote and it just doesn't make sense. "If your auntie had balls she'd be your uncle", type of logic. Please explain to me what an "MCG" win is. BTW no mention of King and Hudghton being out. Ironically they would probably have been the direct opponents of Ottens and Johnson. Neither Max or King are any good apparently, or at least don't warrant a mention.

i wouldn't worry about what this reporter says. it's good to be flying under the radar. the respect will come if we can win it this year.

You know, I've got the funny feeling it never will...but...f*** 'em. In the meanwhile, if wee could get a bigger

emoticon for any references to the media, that'd be great.

I'm with WW, I can't understand how some of these guys have the nerve to stick their hand out for their wages at the end of the week...it's likely a high school kid could write more balanced accounts of the facts.

White Winmar · Wed 08 Jul 2009 5:41pm

That's exactly my point Degruch. I don't think there is a conspiracy of hate in the media for St Kilda. It's just when you get paid to do something and purport to be a professional, surely we the paying and reading public have the right to expect a bit better than that crap.

Even Robert Shaw said today he had a theory that Bomber deliberately left out Steve Johnston to show us they had a ace up their sleeve come finals time, FFS, never heard such nonsense ever about other clubs

Yes I agree about that. Shawy was way off course there.

And that is why he is likely to miss this week as well so Brisbane will be fooled into a false sense of security in case they have to meet the cats in the finals. Geez another dud commentator

He's only been sucked in by Thompson's own pre-match mind games..."We thought about holding something back blah, blah, blah...", which indicates a failure to read between the lines of "We know the heat's gonna be too much when we lose, so we're laying the ground-work for the conspiracy theorists right now". Poor journalism.

I understand why geelong would be upset but why the press. It makes no sense.

Even if the media believed Bomber would not play someone to keep something up his sleeve, they do not know Steve Johnson very well at all.

I am sure he would happily co-operate in missing a chance to boost his brownlow medal chances, and then miss again this week as to avoid any conspiracy theories....

His form the 2 weeks prior wasn't much to get excited over anyway, I'm not sure why he was guaranteed to kick 6 goals against the leagues stingiest backline???
