The more I read the afl site's articles the more I agree with the actual AFL themselves in stating that they're not real journalists. None of them bar idiot damo report anything ground breaking. Cal Twoomey is decent with his draft updates, but that's about it. I'll sign off with this last name: Schmook.

I liked the Dangerfield vs Stringer video. Both have the best highlights from each team.. makes perfect sense to me.

Both explosive players too.

Some people are hard to please.

It goes with them head to head, that's wrong with the comparison. Stringer is a forward who can run through midfield, Dangerfield is a midfielder who can run through the forward line

Re my post before. I don't mean to can their profession or anything. I just hate it when they put one of our club's players in a position where they will lose. No one outside of our club would rate stringer ahead of dangerfield yet. It is his first, consistent big year.

Anyways, I choose stringer.

Eh, I still think it's perfectly fine video. Their trying to promote the game, they picked the two most marketable/exciting players from each team.

The other person they could of done it with from us was Bontempelli.

Thought I would post this even though it was on TV a few weeks back.

It's the Teddy Whitten documentary done by fox footy.
Brought a tear to my eye. He would be so damn proud of how the club is travelling at the moment!

This really gets me excited for our upcoming game Saturday

Peter Ryan's pretty good, but I'm guessing because he had a proper footy media career before AFL.com restructured their media department a few years back and started recruiting people with no prior experience like Schmook

Twomey is okay. He's balanced and writes well, and he's still only young.

One that slightly grates on me is Nat Edwards. She's bubbly, enthusiastic and clearly passionate about the game, but at times it seems like her knowledge is a little bit lacking, and she makes no secret of he fact that she's a mad Hawthorn fan.

Then again, I'd rather they be open about their allegiance than force their agenda through ridiculous articles like Schmuck's comparison between the Bont and Spillings.

Sure, Spillings had a good quarter against a few emotionally devastated, physically drained traffic cones, but it's hardly grounds for declaring him better than a young kid so good he's already referred to by the definite article.

It wasn't just that article either, he's written some pretty poor pieces. He really doesn't like us.

Why the **** wasn't that a part of the 8 in 8 announcements yesterday. Shits all over the Fifi & Will BS.
I look forward to reading a report in one of the rags that has McCartney and Dalrymple leading the march tomorrow and Fifi and Will being re-signed as list manager and recruiting manager.
