On point 1: Given more job losses in journalism today the reporter should splash a big AFL Media watermark on them and start the clip with a sponsors message.

Or to be more cynical maybe the club should ban filming of training by AFL reporters without a sponsors message.

Not quite sure what your point(s) are DS. 

Mine is that people watch this sort of content. I just did. A few times. And the other clips that fell has put out (i'm not sure who he is by the way)

The club should be firing off exactly this sort of video content as a cheap, easy way to engage fans.  It's a no brainer. 

On sponsors the players are wearing new balance gear and their training jumpers have the sponsors logos on them. Sponsor  would be more than happy with the exposure. That's what they pay for.

    Given he's not even in enough condition to join the main rehab group this seems a tad optimistic. Goody was saying mid year Pert was saying 4 or 5 games for the season would be a big win which would put it at about round 22. I'd be very very happy if it was around round 16 to 18. I'd be ecstatic if it was mid year. I'd be very very worried if it was round 3.  I don't care how long it takes as long as it means he firstly comes back at all and secondly comes back and never breaks down again. 

    Exactly, it's not even about this year for me (although that's be great obviously). It's about returning to full fitness and setting himself up for another 5+ years as a Demon if he can get himself right. If that means only half a dozen games or so in 2020 so be it.

    AFL media reporter assigned to cover the Demons (and several other clubs).

    Certainly the club should be doing it. The logos on the gear is one thing but I reckon a quick Zurich or Jaguar logo flashing up before or watermarked on the footage probably wouldn't hurt.

    But my main point was more around the lack of journos being able to cover sports in Australia now with AAP announcing they'll close up today. Mens AFL will always have decent coverage but smaller sports - including AFLW - are going to need to find more revenue for the journos to turn up and cover them. At a minimum McGowan should slip the AFL Media logo on his vision, but if clubs allow it might even have to get his tweets sponsored.

    McGowan writes articles for AFL.com.au mainly centred around stats and data analysis from what I can gather. He also does a fantastic podcast called Trends that I can't recommend highly enough.

    People don't realise how deeply troubling a day in Australian history this is. The end of the most key source of syndicated press content  because the next generation would rather read opinions from social media influencers than from proper researched and intelligent journalists. AAP was funded by both Rupert and Nine amongst others so was the most unbiased journalism we had. These are the people who keep the b@stards honest. Who's going to do that now. It's a terrible day.

    I rarely listen to podcasts but listened to one those (i think) on the recommendation of poster on DL. Maybe it was you doc. It was really interesting.

    At which point the reporters will say "no worries", turn left to Collingwood training and take a video that gets 10x the views.

    Watched the NRL Storm practice game out at Casey on Kayo. Kudos to the people who set this up. Zurich and Hertz in particular and the MFC were very prominent in the coverage. I'm a Storm fan but its pretty obvious on the Storm site that the  "Best" frames from the Casey Game include all their sponsors but Zurich gets a huge amount of their hoarding shown during the game.

    Could have been the Lystics podcast that I posted on here after Dr Gonzo put me on to it. Good resource is Dr G.

    No where near as "self righteous" as me either.

    So Lockhart in the side over Hore?? 

    While Hore provides a good intercept mark, Lockhart seems to be more creative and damaging with his disposal. I'm guessing this is where we want to change our game in 2020. This is what I have picked up from my limited exposure so far.

    Correct on all three points.

    If, as it seems, HB is going to spend some time at Casey.  What odds the Liston?

    Then again, if he plays a dozen games in the AFL, what odds to run a place in the Brownlow?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
