Its not like you don't have a choice not to listen and not to vote. Actually it is very different... because Gold FM is a commercial station whose customers (From a chosen particular demographic) dictate the music played on the station not like at JJJ where one unaccountable bloke has had most of the control over the music played on "his station" since back in the days of the NSL. So even though Gold FM can obv play some poor music (and some good FWIW at times too) the reality is that the songs they do play and particular those PPL vote for in a Top 1000 (Or Whatever) actually are songs that all had at least some degree commercial success. This is of course emphasized by the age of many of the songs chosen for such lists and the fact they are played on a major Commercial Radio Station. Now I am the last person to think commercial success in the Music World is a measurement of Songs quality but its better indicator of a songs worth than the fact that it has been selected to be played on Public Broadcaster with a license to promote music of its own personal choice. And your right - I dont really listen to JJJ anymore and I def dont listen or vote in the Hottest 100... however I do support the concept of JJJ in how it supports Independent Australian Music and its Regional Reach but you cant equate the "Commercial Success of GOLD FM" as the same as "Richard Kingmills' personal taste on JJJ" as the same thing.

Also its a fun question to ask/answer because nobody has the same opinion, for example I have meet PPL with very similar taste in music to myself but still ended up debating the merits of one Beatle over another for half an hour.

Its bloody retarded, three quarters of the year the Paper are giving Women's Footy a Double Page Spread and when Port Melbourne preform one of the greatest back against the wall stories throughout last years final series to win the VFL Flag and all they got one page when they won the whole League. The club (One of Australia's Oldest) almost went bankrupt prior to Round One and the players all decided to forgo their pay for the first round. Not only did they beat a Richmond side that had only two Non-AFL listed players playing but to put the thing into context if Richmond had one that day they would have won everything: The AFL Flag, The Brownlow, The Norm Smith and the VFL Flag... surely the "Tiger Army" would have received three pages of coverage.

I dont really have anything against the AFL putting money into it, I see it as a good investment for the game overall. One of the reasons the AFL gets a better TV deal than NRL is because of the high female audience. But the quality of the game itself is pure trash, and if anything its probably condescending to women that the only reason it gets an audience is because its women playing it rather than a men. Probably applies to all women sport actually. Edited February 5, 2018 by hedaik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably applies to all women sport actually. Pretty much my issue as well. If the quality warranted the coverage I wouldn't have a problem with it, but they don't even charge entry to these games do they? Is that not a sign that in the second season of this so called 'professional' competition that it is still not a quality product? The fact that they have to bring in so many ring ins from other sports also begs the question the seriousness of the league. I know this happens in other male sports as well, but the degree that it is happening in this league is ridiculous. 8 hours ago, jw1739 said: It's a reflection of all this "gender" crap that has taken over the media since the gay marriage debate.

Some of Unprofessional nature of the AFL baffles me... Why are coaches are not recycled /in fact why coaches have to be former AFL players really for a Professional supposedly Tactical game? Why are players not selected when the first reach draft age basically deemed updraft worthy from there on (unless they completely kill it in a State Comp)? Likewise why are players who are picked up early in the draft and show an obvious inability to play at the highest level pretty much instantly then usually given three/four years at their first club and another two at another club? (And I am not just talking about developing Tall Players) Then most of all: Why dont clubs take the reward of their players being severely overrated in the marketplace to cash in on the trade table like as I mentioned on here before the Bulldogs could have traded Stringer, Johannisen, Tom Boyd after the 2017 Flag and gotten three times what they worth now and would have def played finals in 2018.

I also think that many parents use "The Spectrum" as some sort of "Badge of Honour" for their child, and it is used as an excuse for allowing the little bugger to misbehave and throw tantrums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
