Did anyone actual stayed to the end of the draft?
*smile* boring extended piece of garbage i've ever seen.
started watching around pick 16 and then turn off at around pick 21.
Can't believe they can stretch something long to 3 hrs+
Why, why, why did they give Essendon 5 min between each of their 3 picks...when they were 8, 9 and 10! As if they wouldn't know the three they wanted at pick 8.

I was waiting to cut to the video umpire so they could drag each pick out more.

Please, do not ever put The Age in the same basket as the Herald Sun.

The likes of Nick McKenzie, Michael Bachelard, Tammy Mills and Richard Baker at The Age are outstanding reporters who show no fear nor favour.

Adele Ferguson has done some incredible work uncovering massive worker underpayments by big companies including 7-11 and Dominos. Her work exposing the exploitation of franchisees at RFG was groundbreaking.

Old hands Ross Gittins and Tony Wright are Walkley award winners.

Greg Baum, Peter Ryan, Michael Gleeson and Jake Niall are quality sports reporters.

In comparison, I'd be embarrassed to call the Herald Sun my professional workplace.
Mostly agree. However, politically, I feel even the Age has lurched more off centre to the right since the merge with CH.9. For example, throwing a lot of crap at the Andrews government but no equal spotlight on the Federal Government or NSW counterparts in the state of serious corruption, where the media is heavily influenced by a crew of Murdoch media puppets. Age is only a little more objective at times.

But as far as sports coverage - far more discerning and thoughtful analysis.

The draft is Essendon’s grand final. They needed the attention

For example, throwing a lot of crap at the Andrews government but
Haaaarrrrgggh! It's not possible to throw enough crap at the Andrews Govt. Even if you stuck a nuke under the worlds biggest dung pile there wouldn't be enough *smile* to bury Dan the apprentice Kim Jong Un under.

While I might often enjoy your posts on football, TM, when it comes to politics, you are what one of my all-time political favorites, Paul Keating, would characterise as a troglodyte.

Andrews has done an amazing job to restore Victoria to being Covid safe after the early quarantine breaches, saving many lives most likely and possibly yours and mine. Just some reminders: the nursing homes where most Covid fatalities occurred are a Federal responsibility (although no accountability from the Murdoch-pawn, PM Morrison) ; Victoria copped 70% of returness from OS after NSW disaster ensuing The Ruby Princess. What? Did you think nothing could go wrong with the onset of another once in a 100 year, complete mystery virus from hell? How do the deaths in Vic/Aust compare with those in your beloved R/W conservative countries such as USA, UK, Brazil et al?

Hope you're planning a relaxing holiday to one of these delightful Covid hotspots above now you are totally safe to leave Victoria? Make sure you give Donald or Boris a warm cuddle. Then, I'd suggest swing by on return visit to North Korea to get a true idea of what a dictatorship really is like. I'm sure Donny can put in a good word for you with his great mate.

Your post is an absolute example of a dung pile of ignorance and stupidity if ever I have seen it. If you think your generous use of exclamations and
'proverbial' language cuts the ice, you are further deluded. Stop embarrassing yourself.

Great company - politically speaking - you and Lee! Andrews for federal Labor leader and PM!!!

Funny how it was nursing homes in Victoria that were impacted. Dan should have 800 names tattooed on his lying hide.

Horseshit. Ruby Princess docked in mid-March. You don't want me to start up about June 6 again, do you?

What's the incubation period for Covid again?

You gotta remember TM famously chastised the Vic Gov Emergency Services for recommending people evacuate during the last bushfires - nanny state he said. The next day was one of the worst bushfire days in Victorian history and we had thousands of Gipplsand people sheltering on a beach for over 24 hours to avoid being incinerated.

Oh that emergency services bloke Crispy fried liar. Lied to the parliamentary inquiry..Lied to Dan's personal whitewash toady of the coroner inquiry along with everyone else who was involved in the organising and running of the quarantine circus. Lot of them should be in a cell.

People are stupid enough to continue pouring into their holiday campsites for days when they know there's massive bushfires rampaging through the region, sitting n waiting 'coz maybe it'll miss their area n won't *smile* up their holiday deserve to spend a day or two sitting on the beach with the water lapping around their arses. *smile* heads were recommending evacuating half the state 'coz somewhere might get burnt, same as they shut down the whole *smile* state 'coz they *smile* up again with the coroner.
Any way, this is the footy board. We're supposed to be hanging *smile* on President Eddeeee n Dodo.

So utterly *smile*-weak! You should be ashamed to make any other political comment if that is the best you can offer! All the IQ of a three-year-old who has just learnt the most basic of retorts at creche.
I take it as total concession. If you are so deficient in awareness, stick to football; at least some chance of credibility.

But surely and no doubt, that would only be because TM is a great believer in global warming and climate change! But either way, hates Dan and blames him for causing deaths, yet happy for him to assist many more occurring.

Consistent and coherent ... not!

But you chose to make a political attack on my comment, now you want to get back to footy. Wise move.

Leon,

I'm not sure I have sighted previous posts from you - and I understand that this post started as a criticism of Victorian/AFL journalism.

I wish you well ......... but .......

As I was reading it - I envisaged what I might say as a fiercely proud Victorian (but now NSW'man) having finally crossed the border (to visit my home) two weeks ago when it finally opened.

I also have worked in the field of COVID 'bureaucracy' for the last 6 months so lets just agree that I'm an informed observer.

My visit to Victoria was deeply distressing :(

Not just the lunacy that surrounds the mask wearing mandate - but - the very ideology that you regurgitate in your post.

I genuinely must ask if you are merely wishing to incite debate - or - whether you simply lack the intelligence to understand the Orwellian utopia that you now parrot!

What a CROCK - that you can not see (as does every non pravda reading Australian - HUN/Age/ABC/Ch9) that your beloved Premier is the epitome of a corrupt socialist / dictatorial leaning politician that is CULPABLE for the disaster that unfolded in Victoria - and not to be 'lauded' for rescuing you from a worse state of affairs.

You are the wet dream of his publicists. Goebbels would be so proud!!

Hopefully (but unlikely) the inquiry will expose some of this - but alas I fear not.

In the meantime - I will look upon my once proud fellow Victorian citizens in bewilderment - as little more than ignorant fools that march toward Socialist ideology without even realising it!

This is Animal Farm, or 1984, or Aldous Huxley Brave New World in parody - and you just don't see it!

It's deeply distressing to finally realise how dumb the voting public are (and QLD/WA merely reinforce this).

Shame on you for being part of the new world Brown Shirts. Shame on you not challenging the crap you are being served.

Please rush to take the 'vaccine' LOL!!!!
