    Stumbled across this article on modern day journalism ... it's from the States but it's quite relevent (even though it might contravene the rules of this thread with the references to B$ !)

    Journalisms New Mantra is Get It Now, Fix It Later

    Journalists have always placed a priority on breaking news before the competition, but we had this saying: Get it first, but first, get it right.

    The thinking goes like this: The public demands to know whats happening as its happening. Therefore, we, the information providers, must tell them what were finding out as were finding it out. If what were finding out turns out to be mistaken or misleading, well, we can always instantly correct it.

    In other words, get it first, then fix it if its wrong.

    Reminiscent of Caro Wilson's amazing revelations on tanking that had to have certain dates amended after publication for correctness. She even had us "tanking" in 2010.

    Didn't we?

    Didn't we?

    IIRC, we were still an outside chance of making the finals with about three rounds to go but since the meaning of the word "tanking" is constantly being transformed, widened, embellished, twisted and contorted, I guess you're 100% right.

    I remember the game against Hawthorn in Round 20 when Aaron Davey went down with a foot injury and we lost by only 21 points despite being murdered by the umpires. Yep, we tanked that so we couldn't make finals.

    Thought so.

    Next time we win by 10 goals, Caro will say that we tanked by not winining by 15 ... :blink: I anticipate that in 2015 the AFL will open a year-long investigation into the enormous tank that was our 2012 season, and they will conclude something like "The Dees tanked beautifully for the first nine rounds, apart from a slight wobble against St Kilda, but then really screwed things up against Essendon. After that, things went to plan, even when being out-tanked twice by GWS who are by definition above suspicion" B)

    Suggestion. Innuendo. Smut. It doesn't take long for a conversation to go downhill on this site. I think this is what the Good Samaritans referred to as an "occasion of sin". I'm out of here before, as a penance, I have to give myself a good flogging

    Some on here would argue that was merely a fait accompli.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
