SEN is almost unlistenable now. They've obviously sold prime time slots to fringe sports. I didn't mind having to listen to league crap when it was a 10pm thing, but they are just milking those sports (soccer/ tennis/ league) by giving them the 7pm slots. And don't get me started about fake talk back callers.... There is a company that specialises in it - does anybody really think space heads are ringing mmm to compliment them on their ace playlist?

And you just know KB always ensures they get on when they ring.

I understand that, but their act is so same same that it’s wearisome.

Though at least Christopher (The Melbourne guy) that rings in with the strained somewhat lighter voice will call in with something new about melbournes predicament.

He’ll start with a question (almost Maher in length) then provide the answer as well.
But always with great pain in his voice, with unrelenting angst.
Guys an absolute classic , used to be great when he would ring up to talk to OX and rattle off 12 reserves players who should be getting games.

Also loves throwing in he knows people high up at the club and he is going to contact them with his ‘concerns’

Classic.

And when you think of him, you can hear his voice in your head.

Monday: USA sports (sports played in USA and other countries)
Tuesday: Melb Storm
Wednesday: AFL
Thursday: sporting capital
Friday: afl nation

at least 2.5, more likely 3 days of footy out of 5. Victorians dont like footy?

Thing is Victoria has a strong presence in all sporting codes. Looking around any weekend sports it's a great example of Australian multiculturalism.

Thought it was strange that you had Victoria and AFL at odds.

Problem with footy talk it's dependant on talkback callers. The news cycle is short and repetitive.
I like the way Maher is pushing Aussie Rules , not AFL.
Was away over the break with a few families and all the dads listen to SEN , but are dropping off very quick.

'Ah yes Kevin, I believe the current problems at Melbourne stem back to the sacking of Norm Smith in 1965 and I've consulted my MCC colleagues and we're starting a petition for Ron Barrassi to return as coach and Carl Ditterich as captain'.

Yes he is.

“If I can ask Gerard?”

“Go ahead Christopher.”

“You know Gerard, I’m really worried about where Melbourne is going this season, you know the way we direct the ball to our forwards. It doesn’t seem like it’s a system that works Gerard.
I noticed that in The Preliminary final last season, in the first quarter. And then they did the same thing in the second quarter. And would you believe Gerard they did it again in the third quarter. And I was shocked there was a slight improvement in the last quarter. But by then, the game was lost. With ten minutes into the last quarter the game was lost.
I think they should be more direct Gerard.
That’s what I would tell Simon Goodwin to do.
What do you think Gerard....”
Don’t tell me - Gerard’s answer was he is powered by Red Energy, drinking a latte from McCafe and going down to see the team at Doncaster BMW.

Great insights, and the advertising definitely isn’t working!

Had SEN on most of the day from noon and during the call of the game...seriously, wtf is going on with the production values? PBS at 3am on a Thursday has a better sense of professionalism.

The amount of dead-air, the break-downs in communication causing hosts second-guess - none of which is their fault. Are they expecting the on-air talent to do all the behind-the-scenes work?

Pretty sure Gerard will be having words with the owner - he didn't leave the ABC to put up with this shit. Incredibly average.
Last Saturday week I was in the car and they had at least 10 minutes of dead air during the afternoon. We heard cheesy 80s rock instead. Those sort of tech issues just don't happen at other stations.

Was heading home from the footy on Monday night and flicked the radio on when I got in the car expecting to hear some post match discussion but got American sports instead. Changed stations.

Post game there should definitely be post game footy talk. USA sports can be moved on that day

I’d prefer American sports (although I’m a fan) to scrabble or hairiest team of the century. KB and Turf are taking the piss, not even interested in a shred of research. If you’re sticking with footy only, watch all 9 games and discuss with more knowledgeable guests.
