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.

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

    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.

    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.

    That's true of every newspaper in the world these days.

    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.

  • Quote

    they've obviously been told they wont be punished. see the chapman article.

    this only means that they will be twice as angry when they do get infraction notices...

    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?

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
