Media Conspiracy Theory (in Melbourne)

I also noticed that there was hardly a mention of how drab and low scoring the first two and a half quarters of the hawks game was but when the swans play in a similar game it is the swans fault the game is being played that way and it is boring, lockdown etc etc etc.

The hawks and the lions do it and it is just good hard football (that yes thankfully did break open half way through the third term).

You got it. When Victorian teams do it they say "they are getting behind the ball well". When we do it they say "here comes Sydney boring defensive tactics again"

Unfortunately a lot of people who barrack for teams who haven't won flags get very bitter & jealous that we have managed to win a flag despite our club's history.

Even when adam Goodes kicks 8 goals they still go on with the stereotype of us being a boring lock-down team. It gets frustrating at times.

dont worry, that "boring lock down tactics" will hold us in good stead come finals time.

I remember filling in that market research survey a month or so back. They asked how many games I watch on TV etc and asked me to compare the number it to last year.

Of course, seeing I don't have Foxtel, I said Less...but they didnt ask why, to which the answer would have been, we get alot less FTA

So they will probably just assume a declining lack of interest, and use that to support less need for FTA!!!!!
