Saints and The Age

Straight Sets Simon
in Melbourne Demons

I was interested to see that The Age are one of St Kilda's major sponsors.

Official AFL Website of the St Kilda Football Club

Is there anything to prevent The Age from giving the Saints more than their fair share of exposure in their paper? Or indeed only reporting the "good" and not the "bad"? (Other than the journalists themselves.) For example, I noticed that Realfooty mentioned that Matthew Carr had been reported in a NAB Challenge match, but they failed to mention the report of Lenny Hayes. It could easily have been an oversight, but it's interesting none the less.

Is this unfair on other Victorian teams, or just a smart business move?

Thoughts?

    The age critisise the saints and point out positives like any other team. I have no issue with it as long as they stay nutural, which they have.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
