About The Smother

The little Aussie Rules blog that could... didn't, but could...

Thanks presumably to an administrative error deep in the Human Resources Department of an ASX100 company (who I shan't name for fear of economic reprisals), your humble Smotherer was given a job without anything much in the way of duties.

Basically, so much as I can gather, the job involves arriving at a time with some vague connection to 9am, sitting at a desk until it's something close to 5pm and going home. The intervening hours are spent flicking between sports news and live streams with the cursor delicately hanging over the minimise button, ready for action in the event that someone in a suit walks by.

So, purely on the basis that Microsoft Word looks like I'm doing the job I was assigned, this is The Smother. A series of poorly researched and amateurishly edited articles about Australian Football, laden with bad jokes and a level of Collingwood bias that would make Murdoch blush.
