So who's replacing Mike Sheahan in 2009?

[m0nty]

Mike Sheahan is retiring at the end of this year, which means the Herald-Sun will need a new football editor.

For the love of all that is good and holy, please let it not be Mark Robinson. He's already over-exposed as it is. Might as well rename the paper the Essend-Hun.

Also, while I've not seen or heard a lot of him, Jon Ralph seems too smarmy and arrogant as well, not to mention that he's a shameless muckraker.

Is there anyone in the News Ltd bunker who wouldn't suck?

perhaps a past player

then Mark Robinson will take over as chief football writer

homer simpson's inanimate carbon rod could take over.

wonder if the rods Top 50 will be just as boring

 

[Karl Pilkington]

I actually can't think of a professional sports writer in this country, let alone at News Ltd, that even deserves a job of any kind, let alone a good one.

It'll either be Robbo, Mark Stevens or Jon Ralph I reckon, not that it matters really.

Damien Barratt is the best football writer at the HUN now by the length of the Flemington straight.

Jason Cloke? You think he'd be a good choice?

 

[Cleavy]

Pick the Tumbleweed!

 

[SweetLeftFoot]

Should be Damian Barrett but it wouldn't surprise me if they took someone from outside the Hun.
