Herald Sun is garbage. If anyone can spend more than 8 min reading it, they lose 10000 brain cells a minute thereafter. The Age has a quite decent sports section, in quantity and quality.

Yeah it is.

Think of the Herald Sun as like ACA and Today Tonight - Garbage which appeals to the lowest common denominator, and the Age like shows on SBS and ABC like Insight which actually address real issues, but nobody watches them because they would rather read about who Warnie texts.

Only thing that annoys me about the Age is the fricking size of the thing. I reckon 90% of Hun's success is the fact that you can actually read it while sitting down.

Too many pictures in the Hun.

Leaves a rash on your sphincter.

I think that assessing where we are at at round 16 is still a bit early. It takes at least half a season for a new coach to fully implement his gameplan on the player, just look at St Kilda this year and how long it took for them to come good.
For me I expect us to come in around 10-12th, that is what a pass would be, 8-10th would be considered a good year, but lets just see how the whole year pans out before we judge the playing group.

Well I guess that's me.

And stop reading when you get to Andrew Bolt's column.

PANPA Awards are nothing to write home about, they are usually given for design, not editorial quality. Wakely Awards hold a great deal more prestige and the age has won a lot more than the HS. If readership figures are what you're looking at, then you're right. But the HS is a pictorial newspaper and tabloids always sell more than broadsheets in all markets in the world. It does not make it the better newspaper.

The News group's offerings are always below that of Fairfax, West Australian and even APN for that matter in relation to the quality of journalism - and that is by design. The only newspaper in the News stable worth mentioning in relation to the Age is the Australian. Look at the circulation figures for that (as a national) and compare them to the Age as a state-based daily.

Actually the HUN is indeed a rubbish paper, but I do admit to reading it.

However to put things in perspective, on a recent visit to Sydnay - the telegraph, or whatever their tabloid is called there - is far far worse than the HUN.

It makes the HUN look brainy - thats how bad it is.

As bad as our tabloid is, theres worse on offer elsewhere.
