Sloppy Herald -Sun
Sloppy reporting by the Herald-Sun this morning when reporting the contract extensions.
They make a point that Jack's Sinclair's average disposals for the year are 20 when in fact they are 29, a HUGE differental.
I would be surprised if he has had a game where they have been under 20 this year.
I would not usually read this rag but happened to see it when placing my footy tips on at the local pub.

Gone down the gurgler in recent years has that publication, in fact most media in Australia has become really slack in reporting, often getting facts and details wrong in the haste to get some click-bait out there.

I bet it is sloppy editing not reporting - it is just a footy story so it would not be proofread too closely - and the 9 is right next to the 0StPeter wrote: ↑Fri 07 Jul 2023 12:07am Sloppy reporting by the Herald-Sun this morning when reporting the contract extensions.

Kind of like your spelling of differential - not really integral to the story - at least not enough to worry about posting it

Research and fact checking these days is confined to reading something on an Instagram account then rehashing it in the ‘paper’.
