"Rules for some. Rules for others." It’s a tried and tested idiom in the Sports Media but after five months of footy in 2019, the “What Are The Odds?!” boys think it's time to take on the status quo... as well as the Round 20 tips.
On this week's episode:Gordo get Baz on “The Blower” to allow him to clear his chest about a few things in the footy media including:
- Why certain teams (e.g.: Adelaide, Collingwood) cop it hard from the footy media, while other (e.g.: Western Bulldogs, Melbourne etc.) seem to get a free pass…
- What the footy media overrated about Melbourne and Adelaide in the preseason and underrated about Brisbane and Richmond before the bye…
- Footy’s media’s lack of nuanced analysis and their penchant for “flip-flop” takes… (Geelong’s tempo of play being a prime example)
- Footy Media’s (and the media in general) inability to play “the ball” and the not “the man”…
And, as always, after the boys have cleared the air - there’s a full preview of all the Round 20 action as well as the lads’ trademark value picks for you to play around with this weekend.
