That’s what’s disappointing about the lack of news about it. In the past, there was an avalanche of detail about the teams and players leading into Rd 1, especially who is under an injury cloud and who isn’t. There’s more “celebrity footballer” stuff now, such as 2 players answering questions about who has the best haircut at the club or who has the weirdest laugh. But not so much hard footy news. There used to be previews of the upcoming matches. We’ll have to wait to see if that goes by the wayside too.
Like you, I don’t bet on footy, aren’t in a tipping comp and can’t be bothered with SuperCoach. I don’t fancy myself as a coach in waiting and I don’t buy LP’s misinterpretation of Sun Tzu or his comparison of AFL and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. I just want timely and accurate information about our players, in all competitions.
We’ve probably got some whiz kid web manager who thinks that they know what supporters want.
I don’t mind the player interviews and mic’d up players/coaches at training, but that shouldn’t supplant good solid information about players, their form and their fitness.
The difference between the information provided by our website and those of other clubs is significant and it’s not good enough.
