It will be interesting to see how Jack Graham adapts after last season.
In the AFL he has only played 5 games, all of them ending in pretty comfortable wins. Yes, that includes a qualifying final, preliminary final, and a grand final. In which every game he showed his worth. Including kicking 3...
On the preliminary final.
Sadly I didn't witness it live.
But clearly the mix of a club who hadn't played in a grand final for 35 years with a huge supporter base against a brand new interstate club is going to make for crowd atmosphere that will likely never happen again.
If I could change things...
If this young (assuming he is young by his perma-grin style) Jack is someone that Hutchinson wants long term, then give him the role that Andy Maher currently has, as I've never understood his appeal. Give Finey this year to freshen up his show otherwise he will be...
Lacks personality which is hard to improve on, it's natural.
Should have kept Finey with a huge shake up, last chance program. I think it would've worked.
This is just so vanilla.
I still find it hard to believe that this wasn't taking the piss out of themselves as a lack of self awerneness gag. Therefore I haven't really thought about it since GF day.
But after seeing it today it's hard not to laugh, I wonder how much the coach got paid to put his arms like that.
It's pretty hard to have an opinion on something when we haven't actually witnessed it. So that's true.
But the idea is pretty awful and redundant to most fans living in Australia, it's for the overseas market.
Has Mark Fine ("Finey") made any sort of statement publicly since he lost his show?
It would be good manners to at least thank the listeners and callers he has had over the years.
Whilst I think his evening slot needed a huge shake up, I'm still sad to see him go.
If it was 5 years ago I'd be seriously angry. But it seems that the station has been almost naturally going downhill which has softened the blow.
I'm still disappointed.
I think Finey will be missed.
He was too overexposed and had all of those silly shows about numbers and stats which are good ideas, but I think entire shows based around it is pretty full on and repetitive for the average listener.
Personally, I would have liked to have seen Fine stay with a...
I don't care what players are best 22, it seems it's about the team not individuals (yeah, cliche)...but it seems that whithin reason the whole list knows the plan.
Well said.
I guess I'm just worried about leaking easy goals, it seems to happen way too much.
But yeah, those two inclusions will surely help, and with a full squad that is fit, I'm not giving up on the season.
I hate generalisations, and I don't think clubs can truly have an identity unless it was truly contrived or of past political, religious and class systems.
However. I've never met a Port Adelaide supporter that I haven't enjoyed the company of...there hasn't been many, but if it's by percentage...
I like it.
I reckon if we missed the finals it wouldn't have been as popular though. I wonder what cover design he would have used if we lost the granny?
2017 really was a good Richmond year.
Well. It was far better not that long ago with Parkin and Teo controlling the evenings, it used to fresh and interesting. I'm not saying we should copy the past, but I'm saying an overnight show can be interesting, as opposed to just being lethargic and just assuming it's going to be a call...
It had that exact feel. But almost more uncomfortable as the young sports orientated host didn't really know what to say to the callers when they just kept chatting.
Was anyone listening to the overnight slot last night? I think this is a pretty important time frame from workers wanting engaging radio to listen to that is interesting and helps the minutes tick by. Yet it was literally just whinge after whinge from old people, it's like they call up for an...
