Footy Press - How clubs are perceived by footy newsmakers

Do you have a test question to determine if an article is positive or negative like "Would this article increase or decrease our odds?"

Also, have you made any interesting obseravtions from what you've seen so far?

I think what you're doing is very interesting but it must be very time consuming?

Hi Courtney Fish,

Yep. I guess we just decide whether the article is of benefit to the club or has the opposite effect.

Interesting observations would be that any team that holds a press conference (about anything) is usually guaranteed good press. One interview can spawn about 3 articles about a range of topics.

Also, it seems that the journos over at the age are asleep at the moment. Have completely piped down this week. :)

I also wonder which team is going to be the first to have the coach brought into question and the associated witch hunt. Glad we get to avoid that this year. Roosy's got some runs on the board!

    THE FOOTY PRESS

    It's constantly in development, so feedback or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Go Dees

    It's interesting but what I thought it was a media watch style website.

    People can post articles that keep journalist honest.

    I would like to see an archive of some of the BS articles that journalist write that are way off the mark and that they get held to it.

    Footy media are not accountable and I wish we could set up a website that would.

    Essendon should be at the bottom

    I have no doubt that the AFL are trying to put out as much positive, pat them on the back articles about the dirty drug cheats as possible to try and make people forget how disgusting of a club they are

    Too bad we will never forget, nice try though AFL you morons.

    Essendon are actually currently top for moral and financial standing !

    You should add an actual rating of Journalists and their reporting skills,facts,guesses,accurate predictions,lies etc.

    This would help hold some of these twits accountable and rank them so people can wade through the Pieriks and Robbos out there.

    Sounds like a good idea and if expanded to rate/rank other players in the industry I think it will make you money.

    There is currently little independent criticism of footy media so you may have found a niche here.

    Best of Luck!

    Yes RTG, he seems to be a protected species within the media because he has got simply put..."One liners"....We dont care Dennis.....just call the game and stop trying to be the next Rex.

    My top 5 callers/personalitys

    Hudson (Unbiased)

    Quartermain (Unbiased when I listen and also a sympathetic caller to the losing sides)

    Matty Richardson (Good for special comments ect)

    Blight (Unbiased)

    Also dont mind Mark Howard channel 10

    Just cant have Commetti or BT who is another tool & gets away with murder on air of clubs.

    I still think his "what about Sylia's mother" call was pretty good, but yes he does become tiresome.

    The Age has an article today about coaches under pressure and Bluey McKenna is number 1 coach under pressure http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/afl-coaches-who-is-under-most-pressure-20140122-317vd.html

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
