I think I’m starting to understand modern journalism who haven’t got new material.

Rehash old news, change headline to put different slant on old news and press print.

Or this gem today from the AFL site.



And when you click it, it has absolutely no details in it, beyond confirming that the Hawks now hold pick 13. It closes with an indicative draft order of the entire draft. Absolutely zero to do with the Barrass trade.

Yet would probably be their most clicked piece today I reckon.

Humans are a simple bunch.
We get easily brought back to monkey brain with good head....

“All 61 Eagles and Dockers” … the clubs used a combined 76 players and had a combined 90 players on their lists, so their total is wrong for a start before you even get to the rankings.

Pavlich entering Joel Selwood levels of CTE induced babbling in this news story. Either that or the auto-cue operator has given him the Ron Burgundy treatment.

Honestly though what is he on about with this intro? Absolutely butchers it!


"Second longest goal kicker"

The guy is just not made for live TV.

Poor old Pav gets that excited about the prospect of reporting some negative "goss" about West Coast, that the arousal level triggers a bit of pre come, which starts dribbling down his leg, alas his concentration is affected as he feels his eyes starting to roll back up into his eye sockets, his vision starts to get a bit blurry as he anticipates the tadpole stroke.

Consequently he starts loosing his focus and commences butchering the Queens English and fumbling his words.

He did .. the old rocket surgeon and brain scientist bit 🤣 .... flashbacks to Glen Jackovich.

What a plonker the 👃 is .

Also, pick 6 + 12 for Rioli but only 13 + F3 for Barrass. Wait, that's Big Footy Trade Radio.
 
AFL Trade Radio is the most ghastly shit I've ever listened to. Remember listening to two weeks of it the year Geelong dicked us over with Tim Kelly.
