So on the AFL app:
"A game that could of gone each way. Sydney had 50 more disposals, but Geelong were better in the contest winning clearances 18-7 and contested possessions 62-44 after half time."
Could OF gone EACH way? Have, either.
I can handle "could of" here and there on Big Footy, but an actual journalist? I think the AFL sacked the wrong people this year.

My admiration for the Hun has grown exponentially this year.
Somehow, they've managed to find something headline worthy about Essendon every couple of days. On occasion, there have been multiple double page spreads on the same day.
...and this for a team that finished 16th.
To Robbo et al, great work! You've come up with so many mind numbing banalities so regularly that I'm beginning to think you're a bunch of fantasy novellists on a mission from the AFL.
Then I remember that the Hun is pitched at a grade 4 level of comprehension
And suddenly, it all becomes clear...

Haven't been following the news, has anyone at Essendon been seen wearing a hat?

RF today. Not one not two but three opinion pieces on the Pies. The only opinion pieces on the page. Coincidentally written by two Pies supporters.
I know the Age is just a shadow of itself but at least try to pretend there are issues beyond your staffers' favourite club and, who knows, maybe even outside Victoria

What on earth have they done to the HS and DT websites? Almost carbon copies of the SMH.

Good article. Well researched. I also think the Devil's assistant coach Adam Ize would be a good fit for Collingwood.
Also nice to see West Coast great Peter Smith get a mention. Sorry - Schmich.

I suspect that's a satire site, or the works of someone who's mentally ill. A quick look at another sports article here show's they're consistently bad writers, rather than it being a one off article.
"Two spectators were sent off after abusing a New Zealand player who played against New Zealand in a showpiece match in Southampton in the World Test Championship final on Tuesday."
Reporters used travel to report on games, have opinions relevant to the teams/ the comp ...

Just really pathetic effort. I'm also extremely pissed off at Sydney sports media who failed to put in any effort at all. Clearly.
Is it because all the AFL media articles are sourced from Melbourne now? Staff cuts? All of the above? I just don't know. But 1 person is just a freaking disgrace.

Quashes this idea that the afl media is Melbourne centric because of some anti interstate bias. No, its because the other states media aren't turning up
The local media simply take the AFL media feed? Thats the AFL administration in control mode.
Embarrassing effort from the Hun https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/...h/news-story/6e35c8458d4babcaee52ec1c17af19da
And its been picked up by news.com.au which means that other news paper web sites are likely to run with same story.
I know this because a relative of mine was in the local paper , the story got picked by herald sun then news.com.au then around the world .dont think the footy story will get picked up around the world thou
That would be the New England Patriots Lol
