The Sportsday podcast segment with Ash Browne discussing sport and the media is worth a listen for Kane talking about what influenced him to go down the path he has.

Which has worked out well because she can be the permanent anchor based in WA as part of their overall commentary team. I used to really enjoy the old League Teams show with Brad Johnson and David Parkin who was and still is an incredible fountain of knowledge. I guess 360 takes on this role...

I had to chuckle listening to the Means Test. King went to great lengths to make the point that the critical factor separating top sides from the rest is having top players from the draft and that this shouldn't be lost when getting bogged down in strategy and gameplan ; this coming from the...

Was anyone else down at the show on Sunday? Billy was great and it was interesting to see what goes into putting on the telecast. Kane took his defeat well I thought. He's also 1000 times better than many of his critics in the media.

Just been here for lunch. THANK YOU for the recommendation! It was magnificent. I had the Punjabi lamb tandoori. A beautiful setting and then what do I discover on the way out but a little hallway with an array of signed cricket bats from Aussie and touring teams down the years! Definitely have...

Not an identical situation but a similar one is Gerard Healy always leaving Sports Today early to go to present On The Couch. Gerard signing with Hutchy puts my theory to bed that 3AW were lining him up to replace Tim Lane.

Hats off to Richmond. You could see a win coming with the way they pushed Carlton and fought against adversity but to knock off the Swans is some scalp. Love how Yze is having an impact with a team supposedly on the wane. Would kill for that at the Crows.

Felgate is OK but not a patch on her predecessor. Why don't AW broadcast as many games as they used to? Not like they're short of a bob or two. How do the rights packages work? Bartel definitely on the up now he is hosting Sundays. Huddo also quite prominent. I wonder how long Lane and...

Nicholson isn't a bad commentator per se as he showed on ABC Radio but he has been Sevenised unfortunately.

Easing him in gently I guess. Look how 7 have thrown their newbies to the wolves and they've been exposed and torn to shreds in the media and on here. Surely there are recently retired players who are like Karun Chandhok in F1 or Jamie Carragher in soccer (minus the spitting) who are students...

Now I am settled in Australia, it's time to return to Adelaide for my first Gather Round. I've got tickets to all five Adelaide Oval games and will be making the long drive from Geelong on Thursday. Are there any other interstate supporters on here planning to make the trek notwithstanding...

Yze showing more with a team tipped for the bottom four and on the way down than Nicks with a team meant to be ripe to jump into the eight at least :rolleyes:

Buckley has popped up in my thoughts as well but my biggest reservation of recent times is that he was a fairly defensive coach and Collingwood seemed to play better when they had no option other than to take the handbrake off and go for it. That said, Voss has shown coaches can evolve and come...

Hope he makes a comeback when Fox are able to provide their own team to every game.

I've said it before in general but the trend of commentators hoping/wishing/anticipating something happening just to launch the big soundbite for post-game highlights/plays is dreadful. Today Darcy said a Harry McKay kick looked good off the boot yet the camera was right behind the kicker and...

Bartel is the rising star at 3AW as well as his role now extends to hosting a Sunday segment and being a fill-in for their non-sport content.

WTF was that wordplay segment? Horse, Sky, Adelaide, Printer etc?

When was the last time both grand finalists from the previous year went 0-2?

I really enjoyed Matt Hill. I did laugh when he talked about a kick "making the trip" as a horse racing reference but he has the voice and sense of occasion.

Definitely does footy. He's a guest on SEN SA Sportsday.

Definitely the best edition of the segment. Talking Footy couldn't be that bad surely? Oh wait... Joel Selwood is coming to our school assembly soon so hoping to ask him about the show.

No Tim Lane for opening round presumably given it's interstate. Are Thursday night games back on the agenda this season?

I actually far preferred Howard as a host than as a commentator. Yvonne Sampson is the outstanding anchor across both major codes though imo.

Underwood and Darcy for me.

As much as I love the show in its own right, I'll always have an extra-special affinity for the SFS because they kept going in the very darkest of times with no sport and it helped keep me, and I'm sure many others, going. Kane Cornes will reprise his Lingy opinion graph with everything at zero :D

Any good commentator would be the first to say that such moments make it very easy. It's the consistent mistakes and bizarre tangents that clearly mark his decline. I remember when Blofeld was past his best and during the Ashes he mixed Chris Rogers up with the late Phil Hughes and it was the...

Ottley Chase has to surely be the worst test bowler ever to get 8 wickets in an innings and you could probably drop that a couple as well.

Motie is still there and I think the #3 batsman who came in can bowl some off breaks.

Imagine Carder batting with Chandrasinghe 😴

Jim Maxwell has been wheeled out for the ODI today on the ABC. He made a perfect start by having the wrong batsman facing the first ball. ABC only seemed to have the two summarisers in Jaques and Stuart Clark. Wonder if someone pulled out last-minute or if it's cost-cutting. They did have...
