AFL Media: Do they ever get bored?

When you hear of Simon Hill and Robbie Slater jetting off to Thailand, Uzbekistan, South Africa and even Ireland (were they in Ireland?) the world is now really full of opportunities for those in the Australia media football game.

SMH Seb Hassett was recently in South Africa, and many other football journalists get to go hither and thither from time to time.

Even little old me got to go to the Asia Cup, Bangkok, just 3 months after starting to write about football on my blog.

Spare a thought for the AFL mediahounds. They have heaps of chance to write, pages and pages to fill. But they never get to go anywhere.

After the initial buzz of covering North Melbourne away to say West Coast...they soon dream of covering title chasing St Kilda or attending the Anzac game over and over.

Now that's a great thing but surely after doing that for five years you'd like to be able to get your passport out just once, to go somewhere, anywhere, wouldn't you. Or is your career over before it started. Go the Sainters!

Oh well just a thought!
