Must be a slow news night. This story was the one we heard early last week. Dodgy news corp attempting to get cheap clicks.

There is absolutely nothing new about this news...

 

 

 

Clickbait. The story about Bennell is almost a week old. It talks about Friday’s practice match v North Melbourne in the future tense.

The original story wasn’t exactly what you would describe as “Bad News For Bennell” but rather, as bad news for those who want to rush a player when he’s not ready. That’s something completely different.

 

Jeez what a ridiculous piece of click bait, it’s just talking about how we said (last week) we’ll be taking things super slow and steady with him. 

Sometimes I genuinely wonder if they wake up and ask each other “how do we create a news story today?”

Anything to do with Bennell will be big news. If he makes it back they have a Cinderella story. If not, it gives them a chance to label it a failure and dredge up his past...


Goodwin mentioned this is a presser over a week ago. The footy media is an absolute cesspool.

However, I hope the club forewarned HB that tripe like this is a regular occurrence in the Victorian media & that for every muppet like Brad Hardie in Perth there are 10 of them in Melbourne. All trying to have the loudest voice

I don’t think anyone on here was expecting him till mid season. To me it is almost good news, just confirms what we already knew. 
Harley can build form from the back end of the season and be cherry ripe for finals. Yay!

When the panic buying from the corona virus clears the shops of toilet paper we will finally find a good use for the Hun.

"Where are all today's stories? You know you're on a quota, you lazy ******s!"

"But boss ... it's a slow news day ... there's nothing happening ..."

"So you want all the clicks to go to the Daily Mail and the Nine web site, do you? Do you know how much **** I get from head office if our numbers drop?"

"But boss ..."

"I want six stories on line by noon from each of you, or you're all out of here at 12:05!"

"Yes boss. Of course boss."


If Channel 7 Seven got the sole rights to televise The AFL Footy on FTA instead of Murdoch then that would be a real scoop according to Ralphy, wouldn't it????

Not much love for the Dees in that crew. Using Bennell as a scapegoat or frontman for another failing Demons' year, that is all. Had Bennell gone to The Filth, they would now be outright Premiership favourites and Bennell would be the graceful archangel to carry them to a flag inside the six months of game readiness during the 2020 season, all in the eyes of cant and journalistic desperation. Stuffem and ignore.

I often wonder if the likes of the author of this piece are self-loathing people. Honestly, how could you ever take pride in your work when this is your chosen line of business? Then again, he’s probably not bright enough to be that self-aware.

Also, are there people out there that actually pay their hard-earned for a Herald Sun subscription?


Ralph is a 3rd rate journalist.

I remember when they were announcing Goody's appointment to coach under Roos prior to becoming head coach, every station had the audio feed except for SEN. The reason being that Ralph was on it at that exact moment swearing black and blue that Goodwin was a sure thing to become the Crows head coach.

Love this quote from the article:

Yes Nasher me!

still have the Hun delivered daily and with it come a digital membership.

We both still enjoy reading a "paper" ( yes we are old) .

I do use the digital service but prefer reading the real paper.

i also use digital services for news from around the world as well but like all forms of "news" you have to discerning about who the info comes from but nothing has changed in that respect.

True, but I doubt if the HS is a discerning choice OD.  You need to break these old habits to stay forever young.

To be honest sue I don't want to as well it is difficult to change the habits of a life time.

I do believe I am fairly with it in the 21st century sue, well a lot more than some of my friends. 

However you do reach a point I have discovered where you start to lose interest in constant change. 

I could however easily handle a change in the fortunes of the MFC.

Some champions executing their skills can can not only look different but sound different, e.g. when Adam Gilchrist used to hit the ball. That's what came to mind watching, and listening, to Bennell's kick in the video clip of that drill.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
