I see that sniveller Gerard Whately has abandoned the ABC and joined SEN.

Duplicitous anyone?

Presumably he will ever be able to look David Schwarz in the eye again!

Gerard's clearly changed his tune on breaching contracts.

 

[scon]

Damn fine thing.
Will not miss his sanctimonious drivel.
Thought Lyon might sue him.

 

[Sweetback]

The only man who has to leave a room when Ross Lyon enters it.

Good. Can't stand listening to his self righteous dribble & I don't listen to SEN so good result.

 

[mike91]

Filthy, SEN is actually good, now this flog has his own segment. Such a shame, amazing sport with the worse sports journalism.

No great loss for me. Don't mind Gerard as a game day caller, but don't care for him much as a sports discussion type show panelist/expert. Horse-racing is clearly his first passion, a subject for which I have (at best) a disengaged neutrality. A lot of the rest of his stuff is overdone whinging.

I know a lot don't like him on this board but all the best to Brad Hardie, I genuinely hope your recovery from the stroke is a positive one.

I hope everyone would suspend their dislike of his radio persona when it comes to serious health problems.
All the best Brad.

Not a fan of Gerard Whately on footy shows, but is definately the number one radio caller on match day. Big blow for ABC.

Fyfe is the only elite ranked player in our team. Walters and Neale only above average.

Total rubbish survey. Natanui as elite after a year out is a joke and was he ever elite? If he is elite so is Sandilands.

I don't like the fap over Natinui but he is definitely elite. Those rankings favour teams with really positive game styles. Hopefully we get a few more ranked higher soon.

It’s so unfortunate, because I really rate him as a caller of most sports, particularly AFL. But ever since his comments post our demoralising home preliminary final loss against the Hawks, where he openly said “I’m jaundiced on Freo”, I just hate his guts.

It’s like cheering for Carlton to beat the Eagles; no amount of enjoyment I get out of one thing can overcome my hate for the other.

That's exactly what I thought. Not-a-cluey is a good player but elite after one year out, absolute bull!

I feel like we'll be bumping this article persistently throughout the season...

Hurn elite???? WTF

You can find kids playing Auskick on any Saturday morning that have more footy nous and read the play better than Nic Nat.

Nic Nat is a weapon at the centre bounce if he can leap over the opposition ruckman - that's why he's always struggled against Sandi. Around the ground he's an over-rated crab. The bloke averages 1.9 marks per game over his career (Sandi averages 3.6)! He also continually runs to the wrong position which means he doesn't get to use his physicality around the contest as much as he should. he's of more value to the Weagles marketing department than his is to the coaching staff.

Both Nic Nat and Hurn have proven fragile in the finals more than once.

Elite? Not even close.

As I said, the stats and rankings favour teams with free-flowing game styles.

Interesting they had 6 players so called elite ,equal highest in the league , But their list was ranked 12th which places it just above the bottom six , So how did the rest of the squad rank ?

Hahaha, well we laugh at them for a reason.

I think you just answered your own question!
