Have a read of this for a laugh...

The "Executive Sports Editor" of the Advertiser showed up his lack of SANFL knowledge, and then insulted me by assuming I was a Port supporter, and showed that he cannot spell!

Glad to see that Port didn't win 1992 after all.

Am I ignorant but Ive never heard of Peter Dawe?
Knowing the Advertiser he's probably from New Zealand.

I've never heard of him either, and I read the Advertiser each day.
Someone should ask him another question to test out how much he really knows about the SANFL...

Maybe he's a made-up person, like Bill King.

Don't take this guy's column too seriously. There's some disclosure issues here I reckon. Look at last weeks rant, when he raved on about how the Showdowns have lost their pizazz since West End stopped sponsoring, the page was full of West End advertising, yet not one reference about any potential sponsorship West End have of this column.
If West End is sponsoring the column, then it should have been disclosed - especially for the Showdown article.

Perfect opportunity to get someone at the Advertiser discussing SANFL and you blokes go on the front foot and smack his words back at him?
Just talk about days at your favourite oval, watching your favourite team and then tell him it was only last weekend.

Port are the "maggies" - Collingwood are the "'pies". Well at least from my generation back.

I see the "best" responses to this blog got published in today's Advertiser. Not surprising that some of our more "critical" comments didn't make the cut.
