The "promo" for this weeks game......
Has anyone else seen it?
When will the media get tired of getting on its knees like a cheap whore and blowing Lance Franklin?
Unless im mistaken there will be 44 players taking the field on Saturday night, incuding a 380+ game legend, not just 1 overblown, over-rated, flavour of the month hype machine.
Pathetic effort IMHO
BANG BANG

As much as I am sick of the media blowing Franklin every 5 minutes, I am just as sick of people calling Franklin overrated or making ridiculous calls like you just made such as "flavour of the month".
The guy has the potential to be the best AFL player of all time. He is 21 and kicked over 100 goals in a season.

Exactly....look at the bright side, as it suits us going in underdogs!
Buddy is the coleman medallist and a very good footballer.
But we all know that we have a certain captain, who is well able to take contested marks and nail set shots. Never mind this second and third effort business at ground level, he will take the mark and kick goals!
Go Saints!

I am of course aware that Buddy is a very very good player. But the media seems to have a permanant boner for him that hypes him up way more that he should be.
My call of flavour of the month is valid. He is the MEDIA's flavour of the month, I obviously realise he is a champion in the making. However The media picks a player every so often and hypes the daylights out of them.
THAT is waht I ment by flavour of the month
BANG BANG

Understand your frustration at the media hype Hurricane. Haven't seen the promos but I'm guessing it involves lots of slo-mo snippets of Franklin edited into a montage set to some music with an accompanying voiceover delivered in a voice that is seriously bass enhanced with a touch of reverb.Hurricane wrote:I am of course aware that Buddy is a very very good player.

Like Channel 7 did ad nauseum for the Olympics. They just can't help themselves.
That said I can also understand the obsession with Buddy. He is just about the most exciting player to energe since G. Ablett senior and Plugger IMO.
Buddy has never tasted failure... He plays with fun and enthusiam that commentators marvel at, but this is because he has never crashed down to earth...
Even last year when they lost the semi, the Hawks wern't going as well as they are now, and overall it was a good effort... When they taste defeat this week, Buddy will look failure square in the eye, and it is yet to be seen if he can stand upto it...
Roo has seen it before, as have most of our boys... 2 straight prelim losses (1 at home), cuts like nothing but a premiership defeat...
This is the time real pressure will be applied and the men will be sorted from the boys... We have the experience and have done our apprentiship... We will win... saints by 34....

He is 21 in an up and coming team that will be in the hunt for at least the next few years. GIVE ME A F@#KING BREAK!
He will lick his wounds, hit the beach, come back and kick another hundred goals.
He has too much arrogance and belief in himself to let a prelim loss hurt him in anyway.
No matter what any of his opponents say to him, he can simply say "mate, I s*** on you as a footballer".
Injuries would be the only thing that would stop this kid any time soon.

he's a superstar in the making and as far as i'm concerned the more attention that goes on him this week the better it is for us.
i'm surprised he's been able to avoid more media scrutiny over the puzzling "emotional and walking among cars in grey street st kilda" incident during the hawks' week off.
i'm not surprised that hawthorn has swept it under the carpet, but one wonders of the consequences for a lesser player.

I hope Quartermain has a few spare pairs of pants handy in the commentary box, things could get messy if Buddy get off to a good start.
But in all seriousness, I'd rather have all the attention focussed on the Hawks and for us to just quietly go about our business, only to deliver when it matters.

He's kicked eight goals in week one and 100 for the season - and he might be the most exciting player in the game's history.
I saw him live in that game and he was absolutely electric. It was unbelievable.
FFS, I'd be doing it too if I was 10.
I couldn't give a toss if they give their attention to him at this stage. What we need is a premiership.

Re: The "promo" for this weeks game......
I think Harvey and Riewoldt have had a very decent run in the media, particularly Harvey. The West Australian had a photo and some information about the star player from each of the clubs in the Prelim (Harvey, Buddy, Ablett, Cooney from memory), Riewoldt has had a dozen articles about him in the last few days (bearing in mind that in WA only Fremantle and West Coast exist this is quite an achievement).Hurricane wrote:Has anyone else seen it?

Goddard talked about certain Saints players being the whipping boys of the media. I would go further and say the Saints have been the whipping board of the AFL, media, other teams and other supporters since forever and personally I am sick of it. We have had enough success in recent times to earn respect. But no, not to even include us in the Finals promotion is an insult.
