Herald Sun today's big article on the draft tonight.

The MFC do not exist. It's all Essendrug and Carlscum! Written by Sam Landsberger (Who) ???

The only mention we do get, both of our predicted picks are quietly ridiculed.

Hopefully this jerk will be shown as a fool tonight.

Angry from Elwood...

    Care factor?

    It has taken me a long time, but I now know exactly what people in footy really care about, winning games. The rest is souffle.

    If we win games we are a club that matters, don't and we aren't.

    Got to love ridiculing your own prediction.

    Same hun([censored[) different day.

    Save the ridicule for after the selections have been made.

    Edit : that auto sensor is getting harder to beat.

    PPS. wrong sensor I know.

    Nice work. Love to say that I meant that but just lazy/hazy brain.

    I could argue that it requires a sensor to censor but that would be stretching the truth.

    Herald Sun LOL.... how is that rag still in business

    Landsberger is an idiot. He was calling Toumpas the steal of the draft in 2012 then ridiculing the decision to select him in 2014. His opinion holds as much weight as Barrett's. Less, even.

    It's the Herald Sun. What exactly did you expect apart from fools and bigots getting their say?

    Mostly true Red...but how does that explain writing about Essendon and Carlton?

    Not to mention his good mate Sam Edmund who wrote this pearler saying we made a blue trading for Salem/Tyson instead of Josh Kelly:

    Edit: Thes was a 2014 article not a recent one. I've kept it bookmarked in case Edmund ever decides to tell the world how good he knew Salem would be

    when he wins his first Brownlow.
    D'oh it was Edmund not Clark who wrote the piece!

    I doubt you will utter words with more wisdom than those this week Mr. Leg

    Not that it really matters, but the MFC has gotten plenty of draft coverage in other media outlets, including and arguably most importantly on the AFL website.

  • Quote

    The Hun is known as the Collingwood Football Club Gazette throughout the industry ( also the liberal party herald - but that's another story).

    Collingwood has the biggest membership and mention of Collingwood sells papers.

    Even if Collingwood languished at the bottom of the ladder the Hun would treat them with reverence. It sells papers!

    And with the utmost respect to Demon supporter who read the Hun, I'm reasonably sure most supporters would rely upon other sources for their news, thus the relative paucity of MFC column centermeters in that paper.

    I honestly consider that the worst article ever.

    Hyperbole. Check

    Premature. Check

    Made up quotes. Check

    It just gets worse and worse with every passing day as both Tyson and (arguably) Salem are both better than Kelly in their own right. Heck, the article even alludes to us picking Hogan ahead of Kelly as if it was some sort of mistake. FMD.

    Just let that mill around for a little bit.

    Who does this Sam Landsberger think he is!?!?! How dare he ridicule our predicted choice of Unknown Teenager #3!!!! Doesn't he know that under Paul Roos, Unknown Teenager #3 is poised to become a star the likes of which we shall never see again?!?! Fool! Foolish fool, thrice damned!!!

    More games won than us in last 10 years, played finals recently, bigger memberships, larger interested reading audience.

    Even the profit we posted was talked down by the herald sun. in the title it said something about how equalisation was helping the Dees manage a profit. fark me. might be the case but free agency and the fixture certainly dont help!

    that paper is a disgrace - if you want to know which player has new tatts or a new hairdo then the herald is your paper

    i'm surprised wyl lowered himself to actually read the hun (and even admitted it), given his antipathy towards it

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
