I'm not just complaining for complaining's sake, and my next step is to email the herald sun, but in their search for afl players in the VFL, it was reported this morning that Tom Davidson kicked 5 goals for Werribee in their win against Port Melbourne at TEAC oval. That's true. The fact that he did so in the reserves doesn't seem to matter, nor the fact that Jarrad Garth continued his goal kicking form of late to bag another 4, or that Matthew Smith kicked 5 for Port in a losing side. The Herald sun vfl write-ups are so obviously written while studying the match details, with the odd phone call to a coach.
It's true what they say, don't believe everything you read in the papers!
"Is that the truth or did you read it in the Herald-Sun"!
Not the first time that blokes not playing have ended up as 'matchwinners', a few years ago Rebecca Williams reported that Daniel Harford had kicked an important goal for Box Hill in a game against the Bullants, only problem was that Harford was on the bench at the time when Rick Ladson snapped one home from the boundary line.
Not being at a game isn't an excuse for getting it wrong. An experienced writer like Geoff Poulter surely should check information relayed to him.
Tom Davidson who was Collingwood's great hope. Done his knee a few times only to be delisted and recruited by the dogs.
Is only a battler and would struggle to ever get a agme at Werribee especially if Werribee was at full strength.
I went to the Willy v Sandringham match and I thought Ezra Poyas was best on ground by a mile. Several mates of mine who were at the ground yesterday were of the same opinion Ezra Poyas was best.
Not mentioned by the Herald Sun in the best players.
You wonder if some of those reporters hang around the bar instead of actually watch the game.
All the reporters are interested in writing about are the AFL players and how they played in the vfl.How about giving our competition a fair go and start talking about some of the young kids running around in the vfl.
I agree, Jason.
It's not fair that the AFL listed players are given coverage, yet some of the exciting youngsters in our competition are receive absolutely nothing in terms of coverage.
