Jake Niall of The Age proclaimed the return of the Big Four back in 2011. Three of them have been well knocked off by "interstate" "expansion" teams this weekend. Typically unfounded Victorian football bias.

Whats the problem? Is South Australia the only state that is allowed biased football coverage?

Well if you looked at support in Melbourne they would be the big 4 (hawthorn and geelong probably close now too)

Not sure what your point is.

Victorian insecurity and insularity by the journalist.
South Australian insecurity and insularity by the poster.

The articles more about branding and is fair enough. When was the last time Brisbane, Freo, Adelaide, Port or GWS played in front of 70,000+ in a minor round game?
That article isn't even 1% as bad as the trash we get locally and is actually a good read despite the ridiculous notion that Collingwood are a lock for a top 4 spot.

True, that is ridiculous. We're either treading water or going backwards this season.

The article is from 2011.

We are all just so insecure.

He was spot on about Collingwood then, they were a lock for the top 4

No, they were a lock for the Premiership.

No, we weren't. No one ever is.

I reckon if you got the next go in the GF front when you were 3 goals up (with Cloke kicking them from ridiculius spots) and Pods was down you would have been. I was there and was pretty worried at that stage!
I still think the footy you played to smash us in the prelim final the year before was the most dominant I'd seen from a side since the 07 GF.

I thought we were a chance, it was positive sign. But didn't think we had it in the bag, especially with Reid struggling.

I dont think that article is that far off the mark.
