G&G video analysis question

[FrankLind]

Scarfman, will you now be making another video analyzing the Wallabies and ABs tactics at the breakdown etc. Serious question.

Great chance for discussion.

I think Austin was going to do another following on from last week

My favorite part are the braindead comments. "Do the refs like have a boss who can punish them for not seeing this?"


eta: *they are good videos, but people get too worked up over them, watch any test match and you will see the same stuff. Players cheat at every ruck and the refs just need to get the right balance.

I watched Scotland v Ireland game and it was the same. The rucks are just a shambles of feet and hands and bodies everywhere.



Go the force!!!!

Will the video attempt to focus exclusively on NZ infringements unseen by the ref or will there be an attempt as some semblance of balance?

It's to rugby what Goebbels was to the German cinema.

Godwin's Law

I'd never heard of that, but gee it's true isn't it!!

 

[Tiger]

Only the Nazis would make such a gross generalisation as Godwin's Law.

 

[Searsy]

Yea, well Hitler was a vegertarian.

Balance doesn't achieve the two primary aims:

1. Reinforce stereotyping and myths, and
2. Winding up Kiwis.

found this video on the matter, think it sums it up nicely.

Since when is this site a taxpayer funded publication ala the ABC? There's zero obligation on any of the admins to achieve balance or parity; it's the Green and Gold Rugby blog. It's focus is Australian rugby. You want a balanced response; get off your lazy arse and make it yourself.

Finally - someone gets it Although I'd put 2 before 1 to be truthful!!

 

[Athilnaur]

Don't know what you're talking about, it's video journalism at it's finest. Any umbrage taken by our Kiwi cousins is purely incidental.

Balance is easily provided by making your own video

True. Which is why the discussion in it is irrelevant, probably misleading, and not to be taken seriously. It's an Aussie propaganda piece.

If it actually aims to achieve anything more than wind up Kiwis and give Aussie fans excuses, however, then it needs to be balanced.
