Most ignorant football journalist?

Listening to some draft chat on SEN.

Mark Robinson would have to be the dumbest most ignorant journo going around.

I'm particularly thinking of journos who never played so are only there for those skills.

BT, Harford, Maclure, Shaw and Walls are hopeless but they have playing credentials - not that it makes any difference.

Agree 100%. Knows everything about those at Windy Hill though. That seems to be his "Base Camp" or home away from office.

Never overly critical of his beloved Essendon. Happy to dish out the 'bad' on opposition clubs.

considering Grant Thomas is trying to be a writer for heraldsun/age?? (can't remember which one)

He is awful on Classified.

And i disagree with almost everything he says

No way! I love Grant Thomas on FC. Straight up, to the point, doesn't sugarcoat stuff. Much, much better than Wayne Carey or Glenn Archer.

Agree, he delivers and does the job required. Ie. His opinion on Hudgton over Dawson. He didn't hold back despite being their previous coach at St.Kilda.

At least Sheahan can write properly - with proper grammar and with some eloquence.

Mark Robinson's ignorance is evident when he talks, writes, blubbers, or whatever other useless thing he has conned some Editor on Producer to pay him for.

He is a waste of breathable air and a pox on our otherwise fine society.

And if I were to have him killed, I would be the one to go to jail!

You got that reference aswell, I know you did.

That is also partly why i don't like him, Caro, Lyon, hutchinson only ever go to him when they are talking about st.kilda, and he is so bitter that he got canned by the saints that he never has anything productive to say.

He goes back on his word so much.

agreed he is better than archer and carey.

I enjoy the majority of Grant Thomas' articles and especially his comments on Footy Classified.

His honesty is a breath of fresh air.

Thomas wouldn't have the job if not for his involvement at AFL level, so it doesn't really fit into the category old55 had outlined.

Anyhow, I think he does the job required of him.

Anyone else catch this bit of Einsteinien logic from Tony Shaw on Fev in the Hun this morning:

"If he did come to Collingwood, you would make it on the most stringent terms," he said. "If he stuffed up once, he's out with no money.

"I don't know if you can do that with the rules of the AFL because the AFL Players' Association will jack up.

So let me see if I've got this right... Tony is telling the Collingwood captain to shut up because he's got an opinion on Fev and his effect on club culture. Tony thinks that Fev would help Collingwood, but admits that he doesn't know whether they can sack him or not if he impacts on club culture? hmmm

Ah the Hun, the non thinking man's paper. Their journos are primed to feed the masses with copy that would often make Today Tonight blush!

Mike Sheehan is average at best.

THE thing with mike is that he is a melbourne supporter,but he never writes a good word about the dees,his top 50 has no surprise that he did not pick melbourne player if you look back on the last 10 years he has really pick a demon player even when we were top 4. I think reason he writes negative about the dees is that he does not want to be seen being bias, so he goes the total opposite way, not to show it, he goes too far the other way, in regards to robbo he is a tool and a naff naff, he show total bias for the dons

i was more Offended during last Weekend when i read Mike Sheahan's article about a Drawn Grand Final.

Mike of course wants extra time to be played if the scores are tied.

SHUT UP MIKE. If the game is a draw it is replayed the following week

I like the Replay, & yes i was there at both in '77

You are such a dull journalist, only ever reporting on last weeks or yesterdays news.

Time for the Pethadiene & retirement village old man. SHUT IT.

I must Say though Robinson & Andy Maher are far worse if that is at all possible!!!!

Now now, the private life of Wayne Carey is of significant national interest.

Very well put. I was really unhappy reading that article. I would have loved to have witnessed a draw game in the AFL grand final, seeing them coming back the next week and who could gut it out for the win! It is a great concept and I would think almost unique to world sports (yes we are a world game we play against Ireland sometimes.... with a round ball.. with soccer goals...). I can not think of any other sports I know where extra time is not used to find a winner on the day.

I know it's bordering on unbelievable, but earlier in the year on 7's Sunday morning show I twice heard Robinson say "youse" when referring to his fellow commentators. A journalist.

I don't expect you to believe me.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
