JLT 2018: Carlton vs St Kilda at Ikon on Wednesday

[LoveNavy]

One thing that amused/annoyed me was the commentators continually making excuses for St Kilda, eg "Carlton needs to win this more than St Kilda!"  :

The commentary team was unbalanced with Riewoldt and Del Santo talking to and about their mates but, throughout the telecast, there was an expectation that St Kilda would prevail.  No credit was given to Bolton or our players for a solid win over a Saints team that was as close to their best 22 as we were  >

Disappointingly I wasn't surprised by the commentary bias. Nothing new there. Except that it was at our spiritual home  :-\
I was most fizzed off last season during our home game v Saints.  Nick Dal was on the boundary. The half time break was filled with drivel about the Saints. I thought part of the home game gig was the club has promotional opportunities. Must've got that wrong I suppose  >
