    This article underscores how most of the Melbourne media simply doesn't do their research, Rohan excepted.

    The problem for Eddie was he didn't know who to hate more when commentating..

    The stat that has to get one excited from that article is:

    The numbers suggested a different story, however. Not only was last Sunday's 22 the equal fifth-youngest team Sydney had put on the park since 1999, it was a line-up actually younger across the board than Carlton's, the Swans still coming in under a 25-year-old average, the Blues a touch over.

    I was pleasantly surprised too. I thought he was the best commentator on the night, and Im not a fan at all of him.

    to be honest i thought Mills and Jones struggled a little in their decision making but there was very good pressure by Carlton and it wasn't a soft touch game

    Great to see Ted straight back into it !

    Lastly i thought our back line transitions were very different to the structures we used the previous week.........Getting out of your own half against the best teams needs a plan A, B and C and it was interesting to see Sydney putting pressure on different players to make it count out of the backs

    ie Llloyd dominated the week prior and was given the loose role but this week he appeared to be given a run with type role for large mins
