It seriously needs improving. It really does.

Who puts it together?

The league contracts the Producer to collate it, but all the info comes from the clubs.
There are several ways it could be improved but you need someone to dedicate a lot more time to it than what's currently allocated.
The grand final Informer basically lifted the previews from that week's paper, which I guess is an improvement for a start.
I'm sure if someone wanted to invest the time, it could be improved dramatically.

So the football journalists at the Producer work closely with The Informant?

Doing a good job tip toeing around this one as I suspect you can't say any more than you have.

My mail is that there are a series of numb nuts (one or so from each club) that provide 'not so funny' information to a single numb nut, known as the informer. This numb nut changes from year to year. This numb nut then picks the worst or most satirical of the information and puts it in for print.

Who these people are is not really important, rather that the most senior numb nut of all thinks the informant is funny, and keeps paying for/employing the service.

Some of it is funny, some of it not. Some of it is true, some of it isn't. Mind you, if it's in that article, it is often said or discussed amongst people before it hits that page.

So, there's been some discussion about a team of the year. It's a bit late but I'm putting together a season wrap for the Oct 10 edition, as we'll be chockas with pics from B&Fs etc this week I reckon.

Some posters have submitted their TOTY concepts, but I'd be after nominations from posters for players in respective positions with supporting argument.

For example: Jason Earl - Mallala. HBF - Wonderfully consistent season setting up play for Magpies all year. Or Craig Taylor - Hamley Bridge. Centre - won the medal and got heaps of it, dominated for a majority of the year.

Be interesting to see some insight from posters on players from their respective clubs.

I've got inklings of the numbnuts that represent two wells and mallala for the informant.

Love the caption in the Plains Producer this week OnSong. One would have to question the standards of the journalist who wrote the caption beneath the photo of Balaklava's A grade trophy winners :D

Yeah, best utility is a ridiculous trophy. ;)

I think I've spelt "fairest" three different ways in that one caption. Ack.

good on hamley for sticking with the deal they had with him 2 years ago. was always gonna be the next coach. until greenwould turned up an wanted to coach too. this issue may or may not have been the cause of several issues that arise during the year. Couple others as well but mainly about coaching or the coach.

Had to laugh when I read that caption last night.
Maybe there should be a half page dedicated to the runner up in the Long Plains Netball Club most sexiest footballer award! :D
