it's not the fact that he got it wrong. Everyone makes mistakes, but for 2 reasons:

1 - its the result of the game. Thats pretty damn hard to do and not a good mistake to make.

2 - they are within a paragraph of each other, which is also not a good mistake to make because its fresh in the readers mind and makes it blatantly obvious.

You have to wonder about the writers they have over there at afl.com.au, they make these simple mistakes more often than not, if they knew anything about football perhaps they wouldn't **** up their articles so often.

Last week in Sam Lane's preview of the West Coast vs Western Bulldogs match, she mentioned our loss to Essendon at the MCG more than once.

It's stupid to get annoyed by this, I know, but it just shouldn't happen.

Does anyone know if Mic Cullen is based in WA? He seems to write a lot of articles about the West Coast Eagles, yet I dont see him covering any other teams.

I know he does some docker's stuff too, but can't remember seeing him cover other sides. I dare say is he WA based - seem to remember seeing that somewhere on (our favourite) afl.com.au.

Mic was a regular on the football newsgroups for a long time, and if I recall was indeed a Perth based Richmond supporter.

If you were that way inclined you could probaly find out doing a groups search on rec.sport.football.australian

Still visits occasionally at aus.sport.aussie-rules. He is currently based in Perth, relocated this year I think, to cover WC and Freo stories for afl.com.
