Sunday Mail reporting bulls**t

Typical of what is printed in the Advertiser/Sunday mail. In todays artiicle by Ben Hook he reports that mid season draftee Cooper Sharman from Woodville West Torrens has not played a game since July. If he actually did ANY research he might find that Cooper played 5 AFL games for St Kilda and kicked 10 goals which included 4 goals in a starring game in the last round apparently prompting St Kilda to offer him a two year contract. So much for FAKE NEWS

Didn't see any correction or retraction this week so they just get away with crap

I just tried to send Ben Hook an email with the address quoted at the top of his column, suggesting a correction, but it bounced as undeliverable
Ben.
In your column a week ago you reported that Cooper Sharman was just stuck in Melbourne twiddling his thumbs and hadn't been able to play any games for St Kilda since being drafted from Woodville West Torrens mid year. The suggestion was that he should be eligible under the rules to play for the Eagles if he wished to return. I let that go expecting a correction or retraction in your Sunday Mail column yesterday. Saw nothing. If you or someone had done their research they would have discovered that Cooper had in fact played 4 AFL games for St Kilda scoring 10 goals. He actually starred for St Kilda in their final minor round game with 4 goals apparently prompting St Kilda to offer him a 2 year contract. I think a correction (or apology) to Cooper may be in order. Just a suggestion as I usually enjoy what is reported in your article
