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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
