Good point. I figure he's writing for the Herald-Sun for one of two reasons. Either Robbo offered him coin too good to refuse or no one else would employ him.

Because the reality of it is - that article is incongruous with the rest of that newspaper.

Nah, just educated. We've been exposed to Robbo, Ralphy et al for too long, they've dumbed it down.

That's funny, that's what I said about all the 'don't worry Carlton fans, everything is going to be alright!' articles that Carlton fans have rejoiced in, in the last couple of seasons. What people say is not important, the truth is.

"Captain Marc Murphy characterised the sense as one of pondering what each individual wanted out of his career and how that related to the collective endeavour. "

"Another pass in August might reveal the true prospects and possibilities determining the fates of the many. You can imagine a whiteboard with a set of names in limbo awaiting the ultimate decision."

No, that is some horrible, pretentious rubbish. He has his good moments, but you need to wade through the puffery to find them. He's trying to be another Greg Baum, but he's ponderous and po-faced, and I can't stand that smug flower Baum.

I prefer to read my footy articles in a Sean Connery brogue. Most of the other stuff I read aloud in a Lee Lin Chin voice.
