Mistakes on Club Website

Post: # 1467430Post Beno88 »

Can't help but notice some poor mistakes creeping in to the reporting on the club's website.

For example....

http://www.saints.com.au/news/2014-06-0 ... on-shenton

"10 disposals and his first AFL goal against Carlton "

Shenton did not kick a goal that night and is still yet to kick his first.



http://www.saints.com.au/news/2014-06-0 ... to-rebound

"If he (Riewoldt) kicks three majors against Port Adelaide this weekend, then he will become just the second Saint to reach the 600-goal mark after Tony Lockett."

Pretty ordinary to overlook a club legend in Bill Mohr, who kicked 735 goals for the saints.


Not good enough coming from the club's official site. Tom Morris needs to lift his act.

According to their Twitter accounts, Holmesby is Communications Manager while Morris is Digital Coordinator. So maybe Holmesby is Morris's boss?

Isn't Holmesby on leave or something? I though I read somewhere he was on leave (Holiday) for a period..

Did you email them? Maybe you could become the sites proof checker. They might give you a free beanie. do they still make beanies? You never see them any more. Maybe went the way of duffel coats :(

Bill Mohr would have to be in the top 10 St.Kilda players of all time. Champion footballer.

Not sure if this is a mistake or we're just cheating. Article about our second NZ scholarship holder.

Been happening for long time unfortunately. I remember last year Tom Morris even called Shenton a key defender in an article!!! Very amateurish set up we have going on.

....extract from the article...now no mention of a goal...

"A 10-disposal performance against Carlton was followed by a 22-possession outing against the Gold Coast, which was bettered on Friday night with a further 24 touches and four rebound 50s against Collingwood.
"
Suddenly, people are starting to take notice of the long-haired defender, who possesses a lethal right boot and line-breaking dash that has the potential to slice opposition team's like a knife."

Here is another example of the club not proof reading what is appearing on the club website. “He’s been building nicely and in his last game, all be it a , he kicked three. He’s in good form and that’s the way to come into the team. Think they are meant to have said all be it a practice game.

Roo would be the first saint to kick 600 after Lockett. I love grammar.
