I've been told by one of their Bloggers that the HeraldSun instructs them to stir up Richmond supporters and PRE has been used to that effect in various ways.
Captain Blood who is responsible for the Richmond articles has joined PRE to spam his Blogs. I questioned him and he told me he was in fact "Captain Blood". I requested he keep his advertising to the Journos board but he continued to spam it on various threads and boards so his account was blocked.
It's pretty ordinary behaviour on behalf of Captain Blood and the H/S to create artificial controversy,and treat Richmond supporters so disrespectfully, to get traffic for their own cause.
I've been shown evidence that HeraldSun journo, Alastair Paton, published his e-mail address indicating he was "Captain Blood. When the Blogs started I was under the impression they were done by grass roots supporters, a voice from the outer rather than professional journos, but that isn't necessarily the case.
Anyway I'm just pointing out the situation for those who involve themselves in sticking up for the Tiges on the Blogs that there's every chance they are only feeding fat egos who've contrived controversy simply to boost blog participation. It appears the H/S deliberately bites the hand that feeds them...the Mighty RFC and it's supporters. (Other clubs are probably treated with the same disdain but I only care about Richmond.)
Is anyone aware of Alastair Paton as a journo and if so is he a H/S footy journo? His name wasn't familar to me but I'll pay more attention in future.
(I e-mailed the editor of the HeraldSun and also Alastair Paton in regard to this but neither replied)
