Re: Lyon V Brownless Stoush - PaulP - 03-15-2017
Going by your theory, there are 16 other teams that are in the same "disadvantaged" boat as us. If the situation was as lopsided as you suggest, and blatant favoritism is shown to one club and one club only, then why do all the other clubs go along with it ?
Probably because the situation is not as lopsided as you like to make out.

I would expect other clubs are equally unhappy about the media coverage, what makes you think they aren't?
How much the biased coverage translates to real world effects is hard if not impossible to judge, but that media bias exists like it or not!
In the nest the loudest chick gets the worm, at the moment Carlton is one chick that is starving while it's bullish brother stands on it's head.

Media bias or not, every club has supporters with a persecution complex, that believe their club has been unfairly treated. You can complain as much as you like about the unfair Etihad deal, draft penalties, sneaky comments by Timmy and everything else. Fact is, as we sit here in 2017, 90% of our problems are self inflicted.

Ignoring the past for now, just worrying about the future. Climbing a ladder is hard enough without having some wanker stomping on your fingers or throwing rocks at you!
Watson is the commentary equivalent of a sniper, if our club did exactly what he recommends he would flip and claim we were doing the wrong thing!
