Preview: Sydney Swans v Collingwood - AFL.com.au

with Jesse Smith and Josh Kennedy among their best players.

Seriously!??!!?!?!?

How about our media dept start pulling up these journos on obvious mistakes? Or is that not what we do at the swans?

It's now insulting the way they keep screwing up names and not caring. Imagine if the almighty powerful bestest club in the world collingwood were to continually have their players name spelt wrong in the media - Eddie would have a heart attack and the pies would make sure they put a stop to it ASAP!

I'd hope that was a function of the comms people, but monitoring every website for errors takes a lot of person-hours.

Corrections would be easier if the AFL and news websites were not so goddamn awful and had some basic, modern features. Such as moderated comments. Or an easy-to-find email address for feedback. I don't know who designs them, but interaction with the audience is clearly not a priority.

I just don't know how these people get to where they are. As a journo student I am taught to triple check facts, especially names - even if they seem glaringly obvious ... Let alone checking that a player called "Jesse Smith" plays for the Swans!?

What a joke! I hope Jen didnt get paid well for this article.

You must be the only one taught that or the only one that listens.

I thought it was the editor's role to proof read articles before they went to print.

These days, journolist's don't report news they create it instead.

Smith, White, James, what's in a name anyway............

Who is Jesse Smith meant to refer to anyway? Nick Smith? Smooch was really solid, but didn't stand out enough to be called one of our top 2, you wouldn't think. Who else? Adam Goodes? Heath Grundy? Alex Johnson? These were our top few players.
