    AFL 360 'You send your team to Sydney to get an AUDIT'

    Just a few too many compliments coming out of Melbourne for my liking. What with Roosey singing our praises, Kieran Jack coming on The Couch, 'Macca and Mal in career best form ', Mike should be AA etc etc... , Sheeds reckons we are the best blah blah blah... Is it all a set up?

      There is still some normality around. When discussing the Courtney Dempsey injury from last week, they showed that they don't know who Nick Smith is.

        Here's a worrying sign - during the Collingwood-Brisbane game one of the commentators called Ben Reid "Sam".

          I don't worry too much about the names, there are 36 players out there, they don't have names on their backs, and calling is a tough gig. However, when they consistently get it wrong, then all hell breaks loose in my loungeroom.

            At the Swans v Pies game, the ground announcer said the Swans sub was Jake Lamb, and later on he called Lewis Jetta, "Leroy". Quality stuff.

              One comment about the so called chief footy writer for the herald-sun. Amongst many comments about the Friday night game v collingwood when jolly coat hangers mcglynn he kept calling it as jolly getting Christensen. Now I know it's easy to confuse rampe with smith after all they're wearing the same guernsey but how do you get mixed up with a team member that's not even playing

                Agree re the chief HS writer, but he's not alone, I was really surprised that Gerard didn't correct him on either occasion...especially the 'Christensen' one, when R made the same error more than once. It just shows that they really don't watch the games all that closely, even being generous about Smith & Rampe wearing the same jumper (!) they don't look alike & I would've thought Smith would be better known after starring in the GF.

                  Gerard's been pretty slipshod lately, assumed that Daniel Cross was back in the Doggies line up last week when Matthew Boyd was ruled out with injury, but Cross wasn't even in the emergencies.

                    Prim what gets me is when they get it wrong and it is on a program like 'On the Couch'. Bloody hell don't they make notes with the players names on them? I know I used to when I was interviewing people on air. The worst thing to happen is to be in the middle of an interview and forget the blighter's name. One little look on me pad and sure enough there it was 'Phantom of the Opera' oh @@@@ which one? You Guest. So yes I too get annoyed.

                      I confess that I sometimes get my own kid's names mixed up. And considering I have a son and a daughter with gender-exclusive names, that's an achievement! At least they're not calling anyone "Susan".

                          On 'Lethal's Last Word' on the AFL site this week, Leigh Matthews states that "Gary Ablett has had a wonderfully consistent year for the Swans" (or something like that). Happens to everyone. But I must admit it seems to me that happens to the detriment of Swans players the most.
