It is just the blatant hypocrisy of the Melbourne centric media and clubs about the trade ban and academy that really gets my goat when Collingwood and Hawthorn are the first to bleat about the draw (see Pies last year regarding Sunday night games) or their pockets being "picked" regarding equalisation!

they went on about Freo beating us up in the 2013 PF, but omitted to mention that most of the team was playing injured and we only got rolled by about 3 goals. These blokes really don't do their homework or say what suits their argument without regard to facts. On J Brown; maybe he was just a top footballer and will be seen to be a shallow commentator. Good at sports nights but will he have the nous as a commentator?
