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...

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.

The censor sensor?

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.

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:

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.

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.

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
