for the first time since the nine-point goals were introduced, the bonus determined the result, with Adelaide winning by a point under the normal system.

boohoo. so if it were a "real game" adelaide would have won? sounds like a bit of sour grapes to me

St Kilda's ability to kick two supergoals — the second in the midst of a three-goal third-term burst, when Gram kicked a wobbling, bouncing goal from 60 metres — proved crucial, and for the first time since the nine-point goals were introduced, the bonus determined the result, with Adelaide winning by a point under the normal system.

Actually, we missed two points from hitting the post which went back into play. Therefore we would win by a point.

Maybe I'm blind?
I read the Sunday Hun today and could find no mention of last night's game at all?
DId I miss it?
If so, where was the story?

would have missed their early edition. you often get one of those if you buy it at a 7/11 or petrol station. in my edition we are front page and back page.

the front of their sports section is a fantastic picture of our guys.

Thanks bc - I read it at a Cafe so they probably got the early edition. Mind you, the game was over pretty early (7:15 start our time) so I don't know when the early edition was produced?

Also noticed that they are advertising a 'coup' in their sprts section' - 'Hutchy the Tosser' is now writing a column for them. Defected from the Sunday Age?

Well, to the kid's credit, it makes more sense than cranny petes posts.

Tony Jones has taken over his page on the back of the Age sports section.

I'm wondering whether Hutchy is going to do something similar at the Herald Sun. Rosanne Michie who does their "sports gossip" column has said in today's issue that she is leaving.

he's probably still paying kosi off, so he could do with the money

So does that mean 'Hutchy the Tosser' has boned Roseanne Michie?

So we lose if super goals only count for 6 points but what about 2 rebounds off the goal posts. If they count for 1 point the better team still wins don't we.

Poor Ashley Porter does not understand - the game is Australian RULES football.
The game is played by the RULES.
X was in the clear, he knew that under the NAB cup rules, if he kicked from outside 50 metres he could score 9 points. He tried but the ball dropped short and was rushed through for only one point.
Under 6 points for a super goal rules, X takes a bounce and kicks a 6 point goal.
That's 5 more points for the Saints.
Rules is rules Ashley.

the 'country' always get the early edition- the sun is one of the earliest printed- around 10pm - first edition hits the country servos and roadhouses by 12- ish - last nights had a great picture of Kosi on the back but just two stories inside
the second edition has front and back page of whole team and three or four pages of stories.

the only advantage of being where I am is that the local paper is one of the later printed ( 2 am) and on Saturdays often has more than the Big papers.
surprisingly the Age had plenty in the edition that hit my front step this morning as it too can be limited after night games.

Not sure if she is leaving the paper altogether or just the column - writing is a bit ambiguous!!

Speaking of sloppy journalism

Todays Sunday Age
FRONT page
Paragraph 3

"It was the Saints second night premiership since their first and only historic VFL flag in 1966".

The moron that wrote this didn't even bother to put their name to it.
Perhaps they were too ashamed.

And then in the Sports section on page 7 they had an "interest" piece on the Premiership.
You would have thought they would have put someone senior on to it.
And you would have thought, given it is the most significant game in almost 6 months, they would have something serious to say.

Instead
They assigned Emma Quayle
(what fantastic credentials she has)
And she then waffled on about how StKilda is like a "pyramid of food"
Maybe I missed something, but it made no sense, just a meandering crockpot of sh1te !

Here's the link, but warning it is pretty nauseating ....

yeah! wtf! on the bus comming home today i bought the paper at about 5am from the pertol station and the back page was a photo of Kosi pumping his fists after a goal, and the titel was "saints nab the cup" then i saw a friends paper and the back page was all the players with the cup and paper plying into their heads...then i went to 7/11 tonight to see the back page was some cricket guy yelling..? wtf! all i want is a photo of the saints!
i asked the 7/11 guy what eddition of the paper this one is, because i have seen 2 different one, and he said there is no such thing as edditions every Sun is the same in victoria, i know that bull sh!t but i didnt want to have to fight him so i just agreed with him!

[Otiman]

Did this story make the print version of the paper? Shocking if it did, some pretty bad journalism here. I don't think Adelaide or St. Kilda supporters would be too pleased to read it.

[riccardo]

This in particular from Quayles article had me angry:

"If all the finger-crossing keeps working for Michael Gardiner and Steven King........................"

Because I'm sure thats all that training services are doing.

If that was a grade 6s attempt at journalism for homework, they'd get an F.

Doesn't the AFL have the most journo's of any other sports in oz? It seems they just hand them out to anyone these days.
The AFL own the media. It doesn't matter if the news is good, bad or ugly, as long as we're reading and talking AFL they're happy.

[Mr Magic]

It would seem that most of the senior media people were still recovering from the 'premiere' of 'The Juddernaut' on Friday afternoon to actually be capable of attending the NAB Cup Grand-Final so we are left with the 'second-string' and/or unbiased locals for our reports.

Hopefully the 'euphoria' caused by the opening of 'The Juddernaut' will have subsided by the time the AFL season commences so that we, the non-Carlscum public, can get some rational reports about our code of football.
