AA Captain - Our Nick - but don't ask the HUN!

[ace]

The Age is a St Kilda sponsor.
The Hun is not.

The Age and the Hun are commercial rivals so it would be a bit too much for the Hun to show St Kilda FC the respect it deserves.

The Hun must be an MCG or AFL sponsor seeing the its' advertising was plastered all over the MCG for a St Kilda home game last weekend.

he is a very well deserving captian and in many games this year he pulled us over the line or fired the boys up and got em to a win and thats what a captian is meant for and he was the best at tthat in 2009. GO sainters and go nick.

Both the AFL site and The Australian websites feature the All Australian Captain. It is only the Herald Sun that does not. Just an "honest" mistake or an editiorial decision? Or no mistake at all as implied by our resident apologist?

unbelievable toaddy that guy....but what would you expect....

Nick Riewoldt was named All Australian Captain last night, only the second St Kilda Footballer to achieve the honour after Darrel Baldock in 1966.

Last time when a Saint was an All Australian captain we won the flag, so this year will be the second to do so again.
Go the Saints

PS if you want to have a go at the Herald sun. Look at their write up on this weeks game and players who could be dropped. They said Rob Eddy went back to Sandy seconds last week and kicked 6 goals. Now that is funny.

ROFLMAO..thats Gold

WHoever does their VFL reports needs a clue. The other week they noted that (North Ballarat?) had done well to keep Nick Saunter goalless....umm he wasnt actually playing lol

I believe it was in an article under the byline of Mark Stevens - the journalist that was the subject of some debate on here earlier this year.

As I recall, it wasn't really a debate - it was more you having a crack at the bloke, wasn't it? I can't recall the specifics but I remember something he did seemed to make you rather unhappy.

Anyway, sounds like you might have a case with the above reference. Can you link to confirm it?

Not sure if anyone has read the herald Sun this morning but there are plenty of positive articles on the Saints. Many more than other clubs. Seems strange they would do that as they obviously have something against our club.

Monday's Herald Sun when this nonsense about Eddy first appeared under his byline. (I don't know how to post the link)

And yes I had a crack at what I considered his 'poor journalism' in 'lifting' a story straight off here whereas you considered it to be 'good' journalism.
As I recall we discussed/argued/Debated it over a number of posts which to my way of thinking would constitute 'some debate'.

DId you have a word with them to redress the balance?

I wrote 2 of the articles. I am a ghost writer for their reporters. Havent you seen how good my English is on this site.

Ah, everything is now clear to me!

Yes, I read that piece. The article was written by Mark Robinson who should know better and could have researched to find out that Sandi have a player named Eddy who is not related to our Robert Eddy.

Just Lazy IMO

It's actually worse than that Fid. They originally published that error in an article on Monday and then repeated it on Tuesday under a different byline.
Very poor by the Hun and all those involved.

Quelle Surprise!

Mike "I apparently hate St Kilda" Sheahan has written an article in todays edition of the apparently anti-Saints rag the Herald-Sun....giving the AA selectors a bake for not selecting a Saints defender in the side..and the injustice of BJ merely having a spot on the bench

Anyone got runny yolk smeared all over their face this morning maybe?

How lucky it is that the Herald Sun has two football writers with exactly the same name and who can apparently write contradictory articles and yet win plaudits from certain people.

Here is "the other" Mike Sheahan's AA side that he selected BEFORE the official announcement:

B: Johncock, Scarlett, Lake
HB: Enright, Bolton, Goodwin
C: Swan, Hayes, Montagna
HF: M. Murphy, Riewoldt, Goodes
F: Le Cras, Brown, Chapman…
Foll: Clark, Judd, Ablett.
Inter: Black, Boyd, Fevola, Dal Santo
Captain: J. Brown

You might note, that not only aren't Sam Gilbert or Brendon Goddard on the backline, neither even makes the team!

In the "egg on face" stakes, looks like an own omelette to me.

Exactly, Mike has got to be the most wishy washy journo out there....
