For instance id like to be able to get the Bunyip every week because I think its sports coverage summer and winter is first class for a regional newspaper. The Producer is also pretty good but I can't get that either. I buy them both when I go through Port Wakefield or Dublin on the way to and from Adelaide.

Very little substance in what is actually written. Actual match reports tend to be very descriptive. Not very interesting to read.

Sure he goes over the top, but I personally thinks he adds a bit of color to the RMFL.

The new format this year is a bit of a bore.
The Courier's HFL coverage is generally very good. Much more comprehensive than their cricket coverage anyway.
