AFL Officials in Trouble

A bit glib and simplistic Rhino. The press push this notion of freedom to make sales - honesty in reporting seems to me to run a distant second.

try dead last...... just ahead of the retraction occasionally

Its been very successful in North Korea, China and many of the Middle East's *cough* people's republics.

Nothing more simplistic than a wide generalisation.

Note: Do accept Murdoch's rags brings the notion in a significant disrepute.

So true BBO. News Ltd runs a plethora of agendas at any one time plus the odd wire tap.

and Fairfax is squeaky clean.... come on

all as bad as each other.... all have their barrows

Not denying that Beezlebub. I just think Rupert is a little more relentless.

It's curious though. The Age has gone to [censored]. The Sun always was [censored]. Yet some of the best op ed stuff and opinion articles are to be found in The Australian.

The Age has a declining readership and they are desperately hanging on to those that they have.

I doubt they will last any more than a few more years, if that.

So if it's in the fairfax papers we can accept it as fact; is that what you're saying?

Even Premier Geoff Shaw calls it The Herald Scum.

Rupert has done for quality journalism what Pol Pot did for nation building.

I guess what I'm saying Andy Bolt, is that you may wish to read the comment that I made proceeding the initial post. And then Andy, but only then, can you make a Herald Sun like retraction buried in the classifieds.

What an idiotic comment to make.

Fact is I don't read the HUN and haven't for years but I bet you do.

Ah, check mate to you again Robbie F. I guess it was your strident attack on Fairfax when I mentioned News Ltd that lead to me to the conclusion that you were a right wing nutter. I see now that you are not right wing.

The Fairfax papers are for the leftwing loonies so I guess you don't read them, do you? I'm sure that any fair minded Labor supporter would abhor the way the Fairfax Papers have degenerated in to irrelevance.

Why would someone that supports the right be a nutter? Is it because they have a different view to you?

What gets me about this is that Essendon has so far managed its playing group well in the circumstances. Despite seemingly being treated with utter contempt by their clubs on terms of the apparent concealment of the drugs they were injected with, there's been no player revolt and they seem to be unified and focussed on succeeding.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens to team morale when the infraction notices start issuing.

Robbie, I'm trying to meet your misplaced anger with good humor. Perhaps reread the posts and I think it's fair to say that you have jumped the gun....as you gun toting, inbred, Menzies loving types are oft to do. I accept your apology. Say no more.

Whispering, I just don't think those infraction notices are coming.

The sun will rise in the east tomorrow just as the infraction notices will come one day soon. They are unstoppable.

I wish I had your optimism Whisper. It is a long time after the event. Why the confidence?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
