Have no doubt that Howard Leigh would love to have more VFA/VFL content in his articles. He is a passionate follower of the competiion, and regularly has articles without an AFL bias in local newspapers. Unfortunately the Herald-Sun are looking for an AFL slant on articles, as they don't think the VFL sells newspapers. You can try writing in to the paper, but I wouldn't count on a reply.

Good point, Ons. Howard has some great articles about both Werribee and Williamstown in the Western Times, definately look at the VFL listed players because they definately deserve some media coversge as well.

Howard Leigh is from the old VFA school. You can blame the Herald Sun as they probably wanted an afl slanted report. If Howard Leigh had his way he would pump upn the vfl/vfa listed players. The press seems to care about afl/afl and more afl. How about pumping up the vfl listed players. I am sick of the site of all the Shaw's and Clokes. They are all a bunch of overated and overpaid fools living by name from their old man. Ray Shaw at Preston and David Cloke at Port Melbourne with Peter Cloke at Oakleigh they could all play football. The modern day Clokes and Shaws are tools.
