One more inning. Cubs down 3-1

It's not just the Melbourne media, most of the media always seems to love to play the negative with league.

I'm always genuinely surprised to see a positive league story in Australian media. It's like how when the Tigers won in 2005, first joint-venture to win it, big fan favourite team, great game....and the media focuses on the players dropping one or two f-bombs after the game during the victory lap at about 9:30pm.


And with all due respect to the older players, I've seen older games. They're slow, far less skillful. How you can claim today's league is boring I'll never know. Unless you're comparing the NRL to the Super League in Europe. That league murders the NRL in pace and skill.

I honestly don't remember such blatantly negative media coverage of league up in Queensland, and I wouldn't expect it in Sydney either. Melbourne or New Zealand, it's a given. I mean, I remember Queensland media sensationalising negative shit, but not quite to the level or in the manner it's done down here. More in a "look what the bastards are doing to your game!" sense rather than "god this is a dumb sport played by idiots north of the border".

Hah, the 1986 players were saying that today's game is too slow, not enough emphasis on throwing the ball around like there supposedly was in their day.

Ah, Canberra scored.

That's better.

 

[Axver]

Don't worry, i aint gonna be drunk anymore.

Its just the normal Vlad here.

You're normal?

 

[coolian2]

Fuck me dead, and Brisbane respond just like that.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Whats happening? What, where, why?

Aww

 

[Vlad n U 2]

You're normal?

Yes, of course, i've been in rehab for a few days.

 

[Axver]

Goddamnit, I wish there were some Melburnians around. I have a photo and I simply can't place where it is in the CBD.

It's still often pretty bad. I can understand Queensland loving it - league to Queensland is AFL to Victoria. You'd have to be quite a tool to believe everything said by the Melbourne media in regards to an OMG RIVAL SPORT though.

I laugh at the 1986 players. Seriously, take off the rose coloured glasses guys. The game has improved in leaps and bounds since then.

 

[coolian2]

Ah shit, we're about to have another field goal lottery, and there's still 7 minutes of regular time to go.

Whats the photo of?

I'm from Adelaide, is that close enough?

Field goal watch: 0/2


Both not close.

Honestly, the only time I really take the Melbourne sporting media even vaguely seriously is when they're reporting AFL or cricket. Any other football code, the coverage is borderline worthless on the best days. Similarly, the AFL coverage in Queensland was always hilariously bad.

But really, what do you expect? I mean, you get the same thing in union, guys who played before 1995 lamenting how the game has been ruined by professionalism. And in some regards, they have a point, but in general - the game was fucked if it stayed amateur.

One closeish.

Nah, it's a photo on a specific street in the CBD, but I can't figure out which fucking one. I'm pretty sure it's Collins Street but I'd prefer it if somebody else familiar with the street could confirm for me. I mean, I'm almost never on Collins.

0/3

One closeish.

Prediction: 1/7.

This prbobably won't work but worth a shot... Try Google Earth maybe?

Fuck me dead. Neither team want to win this one, either.

No more missed field goals, but an inability to hold the ball.

Damn. G'night.

I imagine I'd x3 this if I knew who she is.

Prediction: 1/7.

Some of these wouldn't even be worth the AFL one point for missing.

0/6 and we're switching ends.

God, Brokeback Mountain really was a win-win movie. Seeing it on the big screen gave me not only hot gay cowboy sex, but Anne Hathaway's breasts. On the big screen.

Actually, not as silly as it may sound - using the streetview of Google Maps has helped me identify shots in the past.
