Announcing THE 2008 WEST END SA FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Got mine today. Thank Wedgie, Phil and Peter.

Even the AFL equivalent book has typos and incorrect figures.

I opened the new Melbourne history book that has just been released and found a glaring
error on the first photo I saw.
The photo is of David Neitz lining up for the national anthem in Round 1 2007 v St.Kilda.
The caption mentions that it is Melbourne's home game but the Demon players are wearing white shorts!
You're right spelly, books like these have errors and they will occur due to the volume of information they contain. But by isolating each stuff up, I find it hard to fathom how these things slip by the proof reader (if in fact, they are proof read).

hmmm.. DW was on the turps whilst proofreading

[Dogwatcher]

Eh? Why blame me?

[Footy Chick]

Eh? Why blame me?

The book credits you as being a proof reader dunnit? I havent had a chance to have a good look at it yet but saw the name DW in there somewhere

[bulldogproud]

Yes, FC, but he was not a proofreader of the Melbourne Football Club History Book which the above post was criticising due to its errors. Yes, there are some errors in the Media Gude as well but DW and I left them there to give satisfaction to those who look for errors!
Cheers

[Dogwatcher]

I'll see where the mistakes were - then I'll tell you if i was responsible

[Thiele]

Well done to all involed excellent read got my copy at the footy today

[scarlet pimpernel]

Might I make a suggestion to the authors of the 2007 Media Guide

You might start a seperate post for corrections.
Presumably there are many of us out here as avid readers who in effect are proof readers after the event and before the next publication.
For myself if I can assist in making the next edition better I would

Thanks for the book guys

[PhilH]

Thanks Scarlet.

Sxxxt did we do a 2007 one as well?

Seriously any corrections of a factual nature found are welcomed.

I have set up a seperate thread in the SANFL HISTORY section (seems the most logical place).

Cheers
Phil

got mine early last week, great read & i'd suggest (without seeing the 2006 edition) it is the best book on the sanfl i've read since the 1975 book by ern kolosche's (i hope that's how you spell his name), great work boys

Got my copy a week or so ago (thanks to Phil and co for sending it over)....was really impressed. Great to have all those scores in there and some really interesting facts and articles included as well. Congrats to everyone on a great publication
