I kinda agree. I mean you literally had a million photographs to choose from. 😵💫

It’s because they are the last of the old school, my friend and we can relate to them.

There are always generational changes but the gap between the X Gen and this new breed has never been wider. It’s technology, social media, metoo, PC and ‘look at me’ that has destroyed the world.

100% agree mate.

Wouldn't have expected anything different. How about a nice photo of him and his children, but no had to put up one with someone that there was animosity towards and asleep.

Why do people still give papers attention? stopped reading them years ago.

Me too.

Might read the financial review the day after the budget.

All things considered, it’s his family who are grieving today and maybe, we take a deep breath and focus on his strengths.

A bit like when Craig Gower retired from footy and people wanted to belt on about his wicked ways. But geez, I saw him play a game once live that was simply above and beyond.

But whatever he’s done post cricket, 52 is way too young, so really tragic in that respect.

Maybe but the real silly thing is people taking a still image of a part of a slide show and posting it without mentioning that context. I actually think that the sequence showing the many sides of the guy is pretty good.
unfortunately those slideshow things go a bit wrong on certain devices and you just end up with the first image (its actually a gif that gets converted to a video - if that doesn't play there is a fallback image) .... so some people will just get that one image

I also think they earlier had only that image on that story on the homepage and have since changed it to the gif/video thing

tbh my mind didn't even think anything of that image when i first saw it .... I think its just more dumb f**k social media outrage for the sake of wanting to be critical

I actually found it endearing.... We know the bitterness that existed between the 2 of them in later years, but it was nice to see that they weren't always so abrasive to each other...

Disagree Strider, trust me, I am totally against those today complaining about having your feelings hurt, It is just I hate the media for the simple fact that they don't give a shit about anything but selling papers and getting clicks.

Its a media thing with me mate, nothing more, nothing less. PS the media made his life hell too.

I don't really disagree with you there ..... maybe I just saw it more like Incorrect mentioned above
