I agree Harf and Adam White are good - i reckon White one of the best. 927 morning show is pretty good.
It’s supposed to be fair and balanced as well, which it isn’t.
I don’t think the ABC needs more funding, see their royal wedding coverage. They’ve just sent a team over to cover the royal wedding (a wedding that was already being covered by the other publically funded broadcaster, as well as two commercial networks) even though the taxpayer is already funding a London bureau for the ABC. If they are so strapped for cash, why wouldn’t they use staff from the London Bureau? Why spend all that money sending a team over if you are underfunded?
If the ABC is going to compete with the commercial networks, then it’s a reasonable suggestion that they act like one and sell advertising space to fund itself, rather than having the taxpayer foot the bill. They could learn a thing or two from Craig Hutchinson’s model.
What a horrible suggestion! The abc is a great broadcaster and hopefully never have to resort to advertising to stay afloat.
Flicked over to SEN this morning hoping to get some footy news in time for the weekend, instead I got afl shill Daisy Pierce talking about some trans's hormone replacement or whatever..
That's it, I'm done, you've lost a long time listener for good now... GAGF

Another thing with Lyon and Watson, ok we know they’re not good at other sports and only really comfortable with AFL. But last week they were talking about trades and I think it was Marc Murphy. And then Lyon mentioned possible compensation picks but wasn’t sure about how it all worked and asked Watson, who simply said “I don’t know”.
Now ok bad enough that it’s the only sport you know, but they aren’t even across things like list rules. Wouldn’t they have discussed this in pre meetings? And done their research then? Schwartz and Allen had no clue on this stuff either.
All these guys would joke about how draft points worked to determine academy picks. In the US the show would ensure their ‘experts’ would be up to speed with this. Here they have no idea and don’t even try to understand. Pathetic.
RSN guys seem far more knowledgeable.

LoL
Fair enough too.
Because you just want men talking about the issues relevant to the men's AFL, am I right? Just a constant stream of Gazza and Wispy arguing over who is better out of Grundy and Gawny?
Thats the exact reason i don't listen to it in the mornings. I listen at work in the evenings and Bartlett Turf Maclure and Terry Wallace are all excellent.

Boring as always.
We all have to pay our own way, I think it’s only fair that the ABC should do the same.
With that logic, everyone should have to pay for their schooling and healthcare.
As long as you are a taxpayer, you will be paying for it.

Why do you defend SEN like it’s your child? It’s kind of weird.
It's just that follows constant baggy is boring. I don't like a lot of it , can't stand MacLure, King , Frawley and miss the nights with Finey .
I'm just a podcast listener but I do think they try pretty hard to talk about other sports and particularly the ones people are interested in - NBA, bit of golf, bit of NRL, they get people on to talk soccer etc. What do you expect they're former AFL players? I will agree with you that maybe they should know the compensation thing but then again does anyone know what the corrupt AFL come up with for that stuff, it's a bullshit 'system' they have.
Going against the grain, I'm just saying that I'm not into Adam White.
They used to play footy. That should be enough to satisfy us plebs.
I was having a couple of beers with a former AFL Captain last night who is still involved with his club fulltime and he has no idea how it works , so Wato and Gaz would have no idea as well. Then we have these media flogs like Slobbo, Ralph and now Morris who reckon they know everything.

Only list managers and those purporting to be experts in footy who make a living out of commenting on footy every day should know...
You have a pretty low bar for 'excellent'
But each to their own , we all have our favorites.

To employ more self serving public servants who are not accountable to anyone. The ABC should be there to serve the rural areas of Australia, and Radio Australia. The rest of it should be sold off.
