News Media Thread, 2023: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

[Tugga27]

Wouldn’t be an issue if the club did what 17 other clubs have done and just announce the senior coach’s contract.

True dat.

Surely it's incumbent on the journo to do his homework though.

My concern with the AFL is less that they’re being steered by mental pygmies and more that those in charge are smart but with a diametrically opposed vision to fans of what the game should like and achieve

And that as long as they get their bonuses everything is peachy

 

[Godfather32]

Don't think Jay got the memo that Simpson's, in fact, contracted for another 2 years.

Don't think anyone's seen that memo to be fair

Was that on Sky?

Yep facts are equally irrelevant there.

REVEALED: AFL’s contingency plan if Eagles can’t field squad

West Coast had only 26 fit players available for Saturday’s loss to Port Adelaide and lost captain Luke Shuey during the match. But the AFL has a plan for what could happen if the Eagles run out of players.

Have the best pinched this off someone, or an actual exclus? We get non lti extras?

I saw this posted on Facebook with the whole article. The West said they rang the AFL themselves and asked if there was anything in place if a team couldn't field a team and fall below the 26 player's. A team can apply for the right to bring in top up player's.

Unfortunately there's more than a little truth to this one.

Sens team didn’t have either but Tb made it

I dont think his words on us were a joke. We were game and resiliant/spirited as we have all greed, but at time we were quite pathetic.

All you're doing is proving what an utter numpty you are.

You'd be best spending your time with the 'geniuses' over on Facebook.

The media is in the buisness of advertising saled through mass marketing - outlandish headlines are a great tool to attact attention.

It's not so much the headline, which I thought was ok.
It's when they get basic information incorrect.

That's their job.
Get it right.

Normally I'd agree with you but everything you can find online says he's contracted until the end of 2024.
I don't think the club has ever officially confirmed when he's contracted to and the only thing saying 2025 I can recall ever seeing was from a tweet from Ryan Daniels in response to a question from some on here (think it was Miguel).
