Due accolades

Re: Due accolades

Good ol' Wallace beating it up with his outrageous media talent. What can we conjure up next week?

Wallace and his love child trying to hide the fact that they couldn't close out agame they should have won. Who would expect anything less from that pair.

Re: Due accolades

Tell you the truth i would rather have Lake having the kick than Will, in any case it wasnt a hard kick and i dont think many players would have missed it.
How about Wallace admits the Richardson mark was over the line and we would have won!!
Wallace has now got the Richmond fans disease, whinge when even the most obvious free kick is given against him.
Not Lakes fault no Richmond backman punched, maybe he should look in his own backyard?

Had Gia's kick been given a goal and we were only 2 goals behind with 8 minutes left rather than 4, maybe Wallace wouldn't have tried to close out the game and they might have held on?

Sliding doors. Who knows what would have happened.

Exactly. We would have been up by about 30 if that goal had gone through instead of 18 20 seconds later.

Re: Due accolades

I am pretty happy with the amount of attention we get in the media, given we are a small club. I think we get quite a few player-focused stories.

I am less happy with the commentators. Bruce, in particular, has a fixation with the glamour clubs (Essendon etc). He can't contain his excitement when they are beating us. Drives me to drink.

Re: Due accolades

As others I've noticed it seems that we aren't ever the focus its either they (the opposition) played badly or well its never the converse. The stories of the first 5 rounds were;

Round 1: Bock should have kicked that goal.
Round 2: Melbourne are horrible.
Round 3: Saints stopped after quarter time or they are pretenders.
Round 4: Injuries cost the Bombers.
Round 5: Tigers played really well.

Why is it never Bulldogs murdered St Kilda after quarter time or the Dogs failed to kick straight in the first quarter against the Tigers. Oh well I give up.

People come up with these reasons when they don't rate or like a team. I hate Collingwood so i find reasons why they do well (eg easy draw in 06) and predict that they will be bad eventually when push comes to shove (they fell over and it was awesome)

That my friend is exactly what all the hype is supposed to avoid. A tactic straight out of the McGuire handbook, that the ex dog apprentices at Tigerland have practiced to such an extent they have outdone the master.

Wallace always tries to close out games. He doesn't have plan B.

Well at least it has a useful outcome.

I think the media are taking notice a bit more notice now!

Yeah sort of, they still rate Geelong and the Hawks as the two top teams. A couple of injuries here and there and we sill see how they cope.
