Rumour doc larkin given the boot from channel 7

[coops1980]

loved too much face time ...word has it.

 

[blaze036]

Hated him.

 

[JUBJUB]

Oh no Dr Darcy or Dr BT to diagnos injuries now.
So every player that now starts limping will have done his knee according to Dr BT.

Seven had no idea what to do with Doc Larkins

 

[The_Eagles]

I think this is fact, according to his twitter he was 'delisted, but still busy on 3aw and fairfax network'

 

[windyhill]

He was good Larkin, for any confirmation you would just have to ask him.

   @gav_mck Yes-delisted by ch7 but v busy on 3aw & fairfax radio network as well as http://afl.com all season
   

 

[Chris_6678]

Meh he annoyed me anyway.

 

[longsuffreosupp]

Dont stop now Channel 7.

 

[Cleavy]

no great loss for the tv coverage.

 

[CROWS08]

Wont miss him at all. Gave you nothing but vague reports on what the injury possibly is. Hopefully they dump BT and Darcy next.
More of a worry for Ch7 is the fact Sandy has left to Fox Footy.

 

[Quinz]

Really not needed on the broadcasts. Can't give any real information before players gets scans so is basically guessing like the rest of us.

 

[hayes]

If there was an injury on the field there's nobody I'd rather go to than this bloke. Have listened to him for years on triple m and seven and is rarely ever wrong. Sounds like we won't need him anyway with all the doctors we have in this thread.

 

[Ned_Flanders]

Don't hold your breathe for Darcy to go. Apparently the "black ops" interview was c7 beginning to groom him to take over from Watson as their Melbourne sports presenter.

More proof that the price of crack in this town is way too low

 

[Nostradumbass]

"Yes, Hame, he is limping, I suspect he has hurt his leg"

You have got to be kidding?

He was wrong that often and all he did was guesswork. I'm not saying it's easy to diagnose a player when you aren't personally checking him out but he acted like he knew for sure and so often he got it wrong that it got to the stage where I knew to wait until I heard from the club then rely on him.

As for him loving the spotlight well that is certainly true. Arrogant and glory seeking I have heard from someone that worked alongside him.

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

Good riddance, spent far too much time offering his worthless analysis of the game when his role should be nothing more than confirming suspicions when it comes to injuries.

 

[drummoyne]

Boy oh boy wowee!

 

[Bob Fossil]

Massive knob. The game is better for his absence.

 

[BEEG]

Replaced by Dank i heard

 

[Ian Dunross]

Get that female vet who used to be on the Harry Cooper show, she would great in front of a camera. I don't know if she knows much about human medicine, but not the point.

 

[strauchanie59]

He was almost as bad as the AFL games on PS2 when describing injuries. Remember the Swans vs Pies prelim in 2012 when Ted hurt his ankle, Larkins said he'd be out for the game and the Grand Final...Ted came back on minutes later.

 

[blueboy25]

Dr Geoffrey Edelsten is available and has no family ties that will restrict his ability to work.

Dr Katrina Warren. Gorgeous

Dr Katrina Warren. Gorgeous

From memory she was engaged to a sydney swans player at one time

 

[Pearly]

Saw this one coming!
