Wowee is that aricle seriously for real!?????

[Ted Lasso 17,336]

Pj should make a phone call to that hero and scare some sense into him

[Yossarian 1,808]

I'd be angry too if my surname was Shartwood. Reads like a socially insecure blogger trying way too hard to be interesting.

[What 18,810]

such a hilarious, original and witty ending to a superb piece of journalism

i can just imagine all the overseas online readers that have no clue in the world what AFL or the Melbourne Demons are, just pissing themselves laughing at the piece of comic genius

kudos to the author!

Far out very clever journalism there Anthony......snigger.

[Ethan Tremblay 28,934]

Wow...real journalism is dead.

That is pathetic.

[P-man 13,355]

Sharwood is a Sydneysider who has openly admitted he doesn't care much for AFL, yet is also the chief sportswriter for news.com.au. Go figure.

He used to write for The Punch where opinion was the order of the day and facts were sometimes a secondary concern. He would've written that line without a second thought, obviously overlooking the fact it isn't subtle, clever or funny.

Lol...theres even a FB page dedicated to those that share a displeasure to his writings.

Agree that the club should make a call. Thats just garbage.

Honestly, this guy writes like an 8 year old. No a skerrick of professionalism or intelligence.

It's News Limited. Did anyone expect anything different? I am more surprised that this dross didn't make the front page. How they simplistically treated Neville Wran's daughter's murder case shows the intelligence of that farce of a newspaper.

the line is such a very awkward attempt at comedy.

[Nasher 33,297]

Just some peanut trying to be funny and failing. Not worth getting our knickers in a twist over.

Some of you are so sensitive that it worries me.

Does no one else find Shartwood hilarious?

I hope not. We don't want to overburden the psychiatric system.

WTF should apply to those on here that are outraged by an article that is likely to be read by next to nobody. All the OP did was manage to get the guy a few extra hits on his article.

[nutbean 8,837]

My bad.... I actually laughed....

[Sir Why You Little 35,381]

Cant open the link. Any clues as to what the last line says??

[Little Goffy 13,102]

The whole article is hopelessly written and it is very clear the guy is just lifting from a press release and fleshing it out with random comments.

Clearly knows nothing about heavy armored vehicles, biathlons, recent world events, or professional writing. The last line is just dumb, that's all.

But what really grates on me is when people in jobs I would love to have, would consider as being paid for a hobby, are being held down by people who don't have the skills and/or don't make the effort to do a decent job of it.

I'm looking at you, sports journalists, Commonwealth and State government ministers, Social Sciences university lecturers, urban developers, documentary makers, television programming executives, investment bankers... etc etc

It really hurts me that this idiot got paid for that article.
