Blame Telstra.

They actually signed that deal aaaages ago, like mid aughts. Every club (bar one) agreed that it was "best for the league" to have all pages controlled by the AFL, because Andy D said so so it must have been true because we all know he knows a good deal when he sees one.

Anyway. At that point Essenscum were the only holdouts, every other club signed their pages over. I felt dirty that I had to feel some respect for them. Thankfully, at some point in the intervening years, they've handed their page over to the the incompetent ninnies top-notch web professionals at Telstra too, so I can scrub that little problem out of my brain...
 
Yep.


The West Coast Eagles are aware of an incident involving AFL player Liam Ryan in Fremantle on Wednesday evening.

The Club has advised the AFL Integrity Unit.

Liam and his partner Evana are safe, and Liam will continue with pre-season training on Friday morning.

The Club is working to gather all the information, will support Liam throughout this process and will make no further comment at this time.

His choices as to who are under pressure are alright, but man, the actual content reads like an unedited BigFooty post after Firefox crashed a few times, and the post button was clicked too early.

Thats most of TheRoar. Anyone can submit an article for publication. Doesn't seem to take much to get the green light.
 
Police, Media, scandals for days.

I swear to Christ basic research has vanished in this profession. I ain't even gonna call them journo's or columnists any more.
There is no good sports media as far as I can tell.

Having to go on Fox Sports occasionally and read their buzzword-filled-incomprehensible headlines makes me sick and angry at the same time.

"NOT GOOD ENOUGH" ex-Champion captain says "fish rots at the head" in expletive filled rant during "TOILET BREAK" /Fox Sports
 
Caitlin Bassett filling today's Weekend West ranking the best and worst AFL club songs with ours being dead last. Hard to argue with that :tearsofjoy:
Ours is in the bottom grouping, but it's pretty hard to split any of these other terrors:

1. Freo Heave Ho
2. Geelong - try not to go to sleep
3. Bulldogs - try not to go to sleep
4. Port - but maybe it's so bad that it's actually good?
5. Carlton - try not to go to sleep
 
If I had to roughly tier them...

Richmond
GWS
Sydney
Carlton-Collingwood-Hawthorn-St Kilda
Essendon-Melbourne-Port Adelaide
Geelong
Adelaide-Brisbane
Fremantle-Gold Coast-North Melbourne-Western Bulldogs
West Coast


I'm befuddled as to how ours hasn't been changed yet. If there's a contract hopefully it runs out soon, it's embarrassing.
