What appeared to be a non sequitur mention of the Henry Ford motor car company's relationship with the Geelong Football Club was actually foreshadowed in the header.
On Thursday, the senescent but refined Pods, who was discovered in an "end of bin" sale at Dan Murphys by the GFC, was named as an emergency for tonight's game. But the HUN has revealed that the maverick selection will not only take his place in the side. According to the witty writers, Pods is set to motor into the Geelong team against Collingwood.
(http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/james-podsiadly-to-motor-into-geelong-team-against-collingwood/story-e6frf9jf-1225902397093)If you think that "motor" is just an interesting way to describe a football player taking his place in a football side after being named as an emergency, think again. As it turns out, it was a great opportunity to weave into a story about a few injury concerns another story about Geelong's corporate sponsor. At first I thought the two stories were not connected and that the HUN editors must have made an innocent mistake. Of course that was before I realised that Pods was "motoring" into the side.
