I see that the nuffies at Fox Footy don't think we'll even make the finals this year.

David King and Dunstall had us GF possibilities as well.

On the fox footy channels new show Round Table, the main problem was Brad Johnson who clearly did no research on Fremantle. He couldn't remember the KPD who retired, Luke McPharlin and then confused Sutcliffe with Sheridan before stating, after David King corrected him, that Freo's entire season hinged on the run off half back of Sheridan.
After the panelists took the piss out of him for his prediction on Freo missing the eight he stated Harley Bennell could go off the rails again, after all he left Gold Coast for a reason. Before qualifying it, " I'm not saying he will go bad but he could ".

Pretty embarrassing performance, it must be said.

In the annals of sporting commentary in this country it rates as unsurprising.
In the context of sports commentary re Freo it rates simply as typical.

I don't really understand why he even has a job as he just regurgitates other media groupthink and outdated preconceptions. Just total laziness.

You answered your own question Righteo. No way we want people in the media who can think for themselves!

 

[scon]

Clearly not as cluey as Brad:
The AFL Captains votes are in!

No need to tar everyone with the same brush. The others pretty much scoffed at Brad when he said we'd be out of the 8.

Yep realised I'd outlined exactly why he has the gig moments later but was too lazy to edit it haha. Really is a sad state of affairs, our footy media.

I wonder if he actually knows that is a Jay Z song?? Although there was that whole number 99 being put up as Harley's number on the Freo website before being taken down.

 

[Harry Reems]

I was very surprised to hear the reception that the audience gave Ross when he walked on. He got nothing but cheers, whereas Dane Swan got quite a few boos when he came on.

The Harley Bennell comment came when Sam asked Ross if Harley was behaving himself.

Brad Johnson, the gift that keeps on giving.

The shiny new toys brigade would like this. He does make a good point of giving the youth experience, though.
