Proper Gander
Owl whisperer and secret agent
This is pretty much true. The AFL ‘accredited’ media aren’t really commentators or analysts, they are sales people. So they don’t feel the need to look too closely at the state of the game or the general unwatchable quality of so many games. Because they are basically trying to sell. It’s like real estate agents really who crap on about the advantageous aspect of a property where the foundations have crumbled.Because the Aussie media are a bunch of soft utensils. They'd rather fill the back pages with bad words clarko and concussion stories than actually say something negative about a performance
Which leaves lots of space for debating whether this or that guy being outed on social media doing coke is the right example for the kids, or whether Melbourne members are campaigners because they don’t cheer at all the right places.
