Yes. I should have said (in previous post) not having a go at individual journos as much as their employers who choose not to prioritise coverage of the actual games anymore, treating them like they're just a vehicle for a series of talking points in the week ahead.

Sure has. Bigger issue is journos not even attending games, let alone post-match pressers. Until a few years ago, major outlets would have 2-3 at any game in Melbourne. Now sometimes lucky to have one. (And no, I wasn't there tonight, but will be Saturday & Sunday).

I know everyone's a lot more sensitive (with good reason) about head knocks now, but I also honestly can't remember seeing as many head clashes in the game as we're seeing at the moment. It's a real worry.

Really sad to hear of Barry Davis' passing. Terrific ruck-rover & half-back for Essendon, then as North Melbourne's first premiership captain. Ahead of his time as a coach and helped set up Kevin Sheedy's premiership teams of 1984-85. Most importantly, a lovely, decent man. RIP.

Was really fortunate to be able to interview Barry Davis at length for Essendon FC in 2018. He had a great story to tell and spoke beautifully. Worth a look, footy fans.

Typically, Firstdog Onthemoon nails it. Yeah, so glad News Corp have got the interests of our young at heart. Because, you know, they'd never try to manipulate impressionable people with opportunistic misinformation in order to push a particular agenda.🙄
