Hey all,
I wanted to let you know about a project I've taken on.
As a sports media consumer, I've noticed that the Phoenix coverage in New Zealand is rather stock standard fare - previews, reviews and individual pieces on players, where they come from, their story etc. Obviously, thats what the reporters are paid to do, and I think by and large they do a fairly decent job at it.
However, what is lacking in NZ media is deeper analysis, and opinion pieces around football. I've decided to try fill that gap, by providing some content which differs from the usual, joining the well-respected Enzo Giordani on his site, in-the-back-of-the.net.
I don't claim to be a football expert, but I aim to provide some analysis by watching the tape, and using footage and stats to make points and back up opinions. (Also there'll be some bad banter amongst, but ignore that).
Regardless of whether you think my pieces are moronic or a must-read, I'm attempting to fill a gap in the NZ football media with opinion and video-based analysis, and instead of being a large spammer, I thought I should start up a thread in which I can post my work.
Anyway, my first piece is about the Nix's defensive struggles last year - what caused them, and whether they can be fixed. Let me know what you think, and whether this is a project worth taking on.
Cheers.
