    Kelli Underwood OAM

    If only it was possible to pin point the exact reason why she has been able to retain her job for over 15 years despite displaying no outwardly obvious ability to do the job. I guess we’ll never know.

    AFL 360

    Garry Lyon. Gross. Well I guess I will never watch the show again.

    Hmm fair. It is a big commitment.

    AFL 360

    Christ not Jordan Lewis! Dunstall is the only logical choice as there are no other palatable journos, they are either nerds (and they already have Gerard) or complete flogs (Ralph, McClure if he was to leave 9 etc). Dunstall brings the credibility of being one of the best to ever play, speaks...

    Ch 7 Commentary - is it intervention time?

    All good points. He may not make money from clicks himself, but his employers definitely will and that’s what will drive his contract up each time. His engagement rate would be through the roof for the likes of SEN. Very smart operator - he saw a clear opportunity in the market beyond ‘old...

    Ch 7 Commentary - is it intervention time?

    I think he serves a purpose within the media landscape for sure - but Cornes has specifically cultivated a persona in the media of being ‘that bloke you hate who says shit things about your team’ - that’s how he gets his clicks - he’s a smart operator who wants his name to be synonymous with...

    Ch 7 Commentary - is it intervention time?

    I heard it’s just going to be Nick Hind and Jake Stringer roaming the cafe strips of Melbourne exchanging complex handshakes with colourful local identities.

    Ch 7 Commentary - is it intervention time?

    Leaving their news/sports coverage I believe. Might get one of those deals you never used to see? A bit like Sam Pang popping up on 10, 7 and hosting the Logies on 9? Armstrong will likely want to keep a foot in Aboriginal/community content, which of course 7 wouldn’t touch with a barge pole -...

    Ch 7 Commentary - is it intervention time?

    Tony Armstrong has announced he’s leaving the ABC… They’d be falling over themselves to sign him - he could even be used in a capacity beyond ‘…and the Aboriginal one’ that they usually settle on.

    Ch 7 Commentary - is it intervention time?

    Oh ok - admittedly I don’t listen to SEN. That’ll be interesting. He isn’t a dummy by any stretch - it’ll be interesting to see how he balances his ‘w***er with an opinion’ persona alongside work in the commentary box which is most definitely pretty soft touch on 7 - nobody is going to be...

    Ch 7 Commentary - is it intervention time?

    Cornes won’t actually be commentating on games will he? He’s always struck me as more of a panel show guy, so he can plan his clickbait strategies in advance and target players/coaches/clubs after the fact, not during the actual game?

    Ch 7 Commentary - is it intervention time?

    Is the wife popping over too? 😬

    Moved Thread Biased commentary

    All those Giants supporters must be livid.
  14. Altum Volantes

    Radio Sport on radio: SEN, Triple M, 3AW, ABC, 6PR, 5AA, 4BC, 2UE, RSN

    Basically spat the dummy at his boss on air with a rant about how important his interview with Dipper (of all people..) was and how throwing to an advert would have gone against what 3AW stands for….with a little bit of self reference to his own importance thrown in. Sort of thing that gets an...

    Jobeism

    ‘Textbook Ball Style Game Movement’ is absolutely fantastic. Like something an alien trying to pose as a human sports-ball commentator would say. I’ve changed my mind, keep him in there - or at the very least give him a touch screen and get him to talk tactics at the breaks, complete gold mine...

    Jobeism

    Well, it is his….Standus Operatus…
  17. Altum Volantes

    Jobeism

    Standus Operatus is actually HOF level bad - fantastic stuff. He could have a long career (god help us) in bad commentary and never top that.

    FTA-TV Up The Guts

    Caught this weirdly awful show a few times...usually on replay at hotels while working away. It was bad but mostly struck me as if they had let Mooney write, edit and direct the whole thing because he was just throwing all manner of shit out there and seeing what stuck (not so much). Saw him do...

    The Footy Show's 2019 format revealed (and other Nine AFL stuff)

    Hmm it’s a tough one. Sunday Footy Show is pretty bad...the false bravado stuff and Bill Brownless in general. It’s tough though, I can’t watch Matthew Lloyd pretend to be a hard hitting journalist for very long. Game Day...it’s ok? But so so....banal? They all piss into each other’s pockets...

    The Footy Show's 2019 format revealed (and other Nine AFL stuff)

    Should have just put the old name to bed and come up with something else. ‘The Footy Show’ has a stink on it like Hey Hey and Burke’s Backyard. Just call it something lame like ‘Goal to Goal’ or ‘More Than a Game’ if you want a nod to the past... Seriously though...Fev and Shane...

    SEN is unlistenable due to saturation advertising.

    Not real ones no, it can be slower at times but nothing like Sydney/Melbourne. Even then, if things are slow we just wind down the window and talk to the person in the car next to us - we all know each other afterall and it’d be rude not to say hello.

    Barry Hall sacked on air

    Jesus. That’s Footy Show circa 1998 stuff right there. Ya know....20 years ago....after 9:30 at night....and still a step too far even then.

    Barry Hall sacked on air

    I mean really...one of the games all time great meatheads...it’s not stunning.

    Why do footy shows suck?

    Because former footballer aren’t as smart, funny or interesting as everyone tells them they are.

    Sportal's Forum Closed Down

    Originally the 2 forums were unified but split after Sportal mods insisted on rules to allow them to marry their cousins. Here’s an artists impression (note the authentic attire worn commonly in the early 2000s):

    Has Gillon lost his Marbles

    Come on isn't all a bit much? I've despised Brad Hardie for years but I hardly think Ross Lyon can clamour to the moral high ground and be utterly outraged every time someone questions his integrity. Leopards, spots etc.

    Channel 7 once again sparing us from women commentators

    Not yet, I assumed that's why they have her there.

    Channel 7 once again sparing us from women commentators

    Don't they have a token woman who sits in on the Saturday night games to discourage the meatheads from literately swinging their dicks around?

    Footy has a Mark Robinson problem

    What was it Dale said? 75% of AFL footballers would have tried recreational drugs? It's almost ridiculous to suggest otherwise in hindsight. Gotta love this teeny tiny 'AFL World' these guys exist in.

    Footy has a Mark Robinson problem

    He has done very well for himself, all things considered...
