He does stuff like breaking news and short crosses and is only on for like 5 minutes at half time or after the match? Right?

He’s not the host. Never seen it, so don’t know.

Nah he's the host of Talking Footy.

 

[Jenkins4]

Nah he's the host of Talking Footy.

Oh ok. Thought that was Wayne Carey and Luke Darcy with Tim Watson.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

No he's not ......Luke Darcy is the host of Talking Footy .....bighead just tries to bring "breaking News" or made up rumors

I don't watch real often, but he always sits front and centre with the other guys sitting off to his left and right. To me that says he's hosting the show.

I agree he's definitely the host.

Yes he does ....but he's not the host

Well we can only wait and see but I hardly see Hutchy's efforts improving ratings.

He certainly did wonders with The Footy Show.

Exactly lucky for him though radio isn't a visual platform.

However I'm hoping he fails I don't like the new changes.

Whateley is a coup ......Bartlett to drive is IMO a stop gap move, he'll probably be retired at years end ......but they had to move him to fit Whateley in

There was a quote from Finey after he was let go that Finey didn't have a contract, I'm assuming KB did have a contract. He'll be out when that's done surely.

 

[FR0GGY]

Surely if you had KB on your books he’d be the first one to go every time.
How does anyone listen to him?

 

[matty p]

This guy epitomizes "fake" .....i don't see a a glimpse of sincerity or honesty .....he's a manufactured product

Nepotism at its finest. If you look at McClure's work history he's done nothing to warrant the quick ascension that he's made.

He's a weasel who knows which ass to kiss.

The tv networks have to find some future talent .....i'm not sure he'll last & i agree he's riding on the back of in-house support

 

[GreyCrow]

The new media

If they are talking about you then its all good

*unless its sexual

Agreed .....plus his Carlton bias came out stronger in 2017 & influenced his reporting ....not a good sign

He's wrong more than he's right

Same with Lyon & Watson at breakfast ....they have contracts & so are safe

Finey IMO was just a broom sweep to freshen up the station ......not based on performance, as he was good listening

Does 5AA own a broom ......Pilkington back from retirement ......man, you really do need to be carried out of 5AA on a stretcher to get replaced

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

So what was so bad about it? Gives us the rundown?

I only listened for about 10 minutes they were interviewing a reporter about that cricket team that got only 2 runs.

Trying to get some “bantz” going but was so stiff and no chemistry at all.

Maybe when footy starts we’ll get some value but Cornes and Blight talking about cricket? I’d rather listen to what my nana thinks of Steve Smith (charming young man according to her, but looks like an elf).

Pilko is only on over the break. Will and and Pembo back next week. They’re great to listen to. I reckon if you managed to have a beer with Pembo, you could talk to him all day.

Him throwing tantrums on Twitter when the Gibbs stuff has been going on the past 2 years was hilarious.

 

[Deaneus!]

Maybe he's going to Norf?

And they were likely all friends of his late father.

More likely mentors

I agree like them too.

Pilko shouldn't be on in the summer though. Got to give someone else a go.

I liked Finey. Thursday nights when he and his lawyer mate would go through the teams and the matches. That guy was great what was his name?
