Re: Footy journalism - the good, the bad and the ugly
Just watched a clip of 7 news that Stevo retweeted of the afternoon news anchor. On Keath the anchor says: “despite being seen at St Kilda head quarters a couple of week ago, he’s likely to end up at the bulldogs.”
What gave it away you geniuses? The press releases from Adelaide & Bulldogs about it, the official player request from Keath to the bulldogs specifically, Sam Power’s video about securing Keath as he as nominated us, or something else.
Quality work. Mention touring St Kilda and leave out entirely the whole nominating bulldogs bit...

For a thread with origins back to a time when Lukas Markovic was wearing our colours how on earth are we only 4 pages deep?

Football journalism is small and insular. Unfortunately, most are compromised and cannot speak freely, afraid to rock the boat, or, they are megaphones for the club they barrack for Eg. Mark Stevens and Sam Landsberger (I like both by the way as I am bias and they are bulldogs) I do like Mick Warner. Only Journo to fly the flag for the Dogs with relation to the Talia affair, taking issue with the AFL on a number of other occasions. The AFL rewarded him for his efforts by stripping him of his media accreditation.

Did they? That's appalling. North Korea-esque. Not surprised, mind you, just disgusted.

I think Cal Twomey and Marc McGowan are the best in the business at this time of the year on the AFL site. I feel sorry for the two of them having to deal with 'Damo' as a colleague.

The other journos all like Barrett. If you ever speak negatively about him to one of the others they pretty consistently leap to his defence.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

I don’t like the way Barrett has covered us over the last couple of years but I concede he is pretty good at what he does - he is prepared to speak his mind, he calls out some of the bluff and bluster - and I’m hopeful that Bevo and Damo can move to a better place - it’s not productive for anyone

Think that shop has sailed. Barrett needs the Bevo feud, it’s the only thing that gives him any relevance

The Good: Sam Landsberger
Forum: Twitter
Topic: Article on our strong interest in Ben King
Dickhead Essendon User John: With Jamarra coming to the club next year. Taking up their first rounder. Plus other NGA and FS picks in the same draft. What does the club have to offer compared to saints and other clubs ? Come on Sam.
Sam: I reckon the club probably knew that when it started making inquiries. Come on John.
