just watchwed the highlights of Saturdays game against Brisbane here: http://www.afl.com.a...video#playvideo

only to discover that number 27 for Melbourne is a bloke called DannyFrawley and that the bloke in the number 34 jumper is Dustin Martin. How appauling. Its not as if it was a commentator mixing things up while calling the play live, this is a report written and scripted. They truly suck (the AFL that is!)

PS. You need to click the highlights tab and select BL Vs Melb

I thought they both played ok games. Danny frawley made a few unusual mistakes which isn't common for him and I think Dustin Martin isn't a great wet weather player as he couldn't hold onto a mark on Saturday night... Oh wait

This is nothing to do with televised media, but thought it worth a mention.

I came across an article in the latest Leader Newspaper for City of Yarra.

I know things are a bit slow, But they have a photo Of Jimmy presenting his No. 20 Jumper to Mitch Clark

REPORT: St. Kilda
REPORT: St. Kilda

One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
