As such, the best of the material/footage is already taken and despite being the first professional on the scene they are perhaps within minutes reporting on second hand news.

Makes you wonder, who'd be a journo now then?

There's no point being self-righteous, if you've been on social media you've probably seen it and even incidentally contributed to the frenzy. We're all part of it, in some way or other - even if we're commenting here.

I think balanced discussion is alright. We all might be part of a socmed, but we play our individual parts. I've actually been heartened by many comments on here, as it hasn't degenerated into the regular competition of who's the more disgusted, and who can think of the worst punishment for her.
The media dropping in at her house fuels that disgust IMO. I think the discussion on this board is a welcome change.

From what my mate said when he met Swanny in Bali earlier this year he's a very easy going bloke to get along with.
Great career champ!

Geelong 2007, Essendon 2000, Hawthorn 1989 and West Coast 1994 all better for mine. 2010 was more about the coaching rather than the overall brilliance of the team.

Combination of things but I saw a lot of them that year and I've never seen anything like it, made us look like reserves grade despite us still being a great team and being reigning premiers. Will never forget the Prelim final especially. I said to my kids at the time that I couldn't see anyone coming close to Collingwood if they kept playing like that, luckily they slowed down the next year.
