Opinion Chappys book

[you pick one]

That cover is a shocker. He plays in 3 GF teams and wins a NS medal and his brief stint at Essendon represents half of the cover. If it was a GAJ book it would be OK to see his time at the GCS represented as he has done amazing things there. Chappy on the other hand achieved next to nothing as a player at Essendon.

Agree with this and should have been $35

I'm sure you will one day. It's like Stephen Hockeys meeting in Sydney with Dank. It was mentioned in the papers early on, but a few years later it was discovered again and turned into a trash article. So expect the Hun to print an article soon claiming our boys stayed at the hotel that night for some nefarious reason.

lol Wouldn't surprise me to find that something had already been written
I guess we are just a little isolated over here and WA-centric. Plus my kids would've been young, so I wasn't reading the newspapers, wasn't on BF or anything like that.

You know the Hun's motto - "better to be right than correct."

I thought it was 'better to be write than correct...'?

Years ago at a function, I won a book of Dermie's.
It was literally stuff like ' 'We went on the bus to Adelaide and Jason tripped getting off the bus, Geez it was funny and we all laughed.'
For the whole book.

haha. that sort of book makes good firestarting material

I'd go with 'better to get readers and clicks than use facts or research'. It has become the perfect 'squalid little rag'.

it's a shame, really. I used to quite like reading the Sun - never read the Herald much but both of them have turned into sensationalist garbage-spreading muckrakers.

Perfectly tailored for their audience - garbage-spreading muck.

funnily enough, I do enjoy reading their footy stuff, mostly GFC, and get frustrated with their paywall...

You mean they have actually improved recently then?...

words cannot describe the Hun, I don't think. Words that are readily available and that won't get censored here

Pollywaffle - I see your namesake is making a comeback. Good stuff.
