Shoddy Cheap Journalism...as usual....

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...

I am on the iphone mate and i do not subscribe to The Evil Ruperts daily spew

Reading the paper in a cafe

Pages 76-77

 

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.

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.

 

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?

Garbage and old car parts need to be wrapped in something!

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.

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.

Football journalists at the Hun answer to Robbo.

Just let that mill around for a little bit.

half a second should be enough


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.

That is who I selected.

 

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

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
