What does the club do - if they want to go they're gone!
Danger had the whole Walsh thing and still left.


Would Lever and Guv be the players they are without the players they currently have around them ?

Throw either of them into a dysfunctional forward / backline - what then ?

Apart from a flag, there is absolutely nothing more we can offer them once we match or better another clubs $$$. A beautiful stadium , full house every second week , a great team .... seriously if that's not enough then what does the club do ?
If we lose Lever and McGovern on top of all the other players in the past, it's becoming increasingly difficult to dismiss as just being "part of footy". If it were to happen it would appear that Adelaide and Brisbane are outliers in comparison to the rest of the comp (you can't count GWS due to salary cap restrictions that is preventing them from keeping all their stars).

Whatever the show is called, the 6 to 7 show on 5aa is awful

Football nation on the weekend is just as awful.

What happened to the decent 3AW crew (not including Shaw)
Crocmedia won the latest contract it is all awful low quality crap that is terrible to listen to and most of the people on it are amateurs

Rucc on AA at the moment is cringeworthy, it's hard to put your finger on why it's so lame but it's like some dullard fanboy finally getting to talk to his idols or hang around with his peers.
They really have to pi$$ Rowe off, get someone with intellect on.

The show with Kane and Hart is pointless, absolutely pointless. It rehashes every topic that has just been coerced and shoved down your throat in the previous few hours, it offers nothing new.

They should just scrap the SANFL report if that's all they offer, seriously just f*** off, just f*** off.
Give something of actual content concerning the SANFL, a coach, a player, something. Not 60 seconds of AFL navel gazing in the SANFL.
This week there's a great game on in WWT V STURT, get a f***ing interview with both coaches, ask Godden about losing two GF's and coming up against Sturt.
Ask them about some of the youth coming through each club.
F*** me it's a s*** station.
I stream SEN when I can, podcasts, audio books or Radio National.

The only point of the show is for regional viewers.

The problem with the AA shows now are that they are almost devoid of listener input until they have a competition. And even then - don't dare make a mistake - or its belittling time for the unfortunate contestant that hasn't bothered to check the mystery voice isn't Ian Thorpe!


Rucci is like the relative everyone avoids at weddings and parties.
He's a narcissist and he's creepy.

I don't mind listening to hosts if they talk on the subject but no, IDGAF about Rowes fishing trips, Kanes constant " well when I played " conversations, Hart being Kornes "yes man " sidekick and last night Ruccis Woodville High Hockey career.

Unfortunately Bicks is getting tarred with the same brush and his football knowledge is simply wasted in amongst the "how good are Port Bicks- top 4 Bicks " high pitched squealing hyperbole that is Stephen Rowe.

Will take my headphones and stream SEN when I have to go anywhere when husband has that shit on in the car after last night !!!

He just laughs at them.
:D

Ratings would be interesting if they did them this week with Rucci and Rowe.

It is sad in a sports loving state this (AA and the even worse MMM)is all we have.

I listen to 3AW and SEN far more than AA now via TuneIn.

In terms if media, not just footy, SA is a backwater.

Bicks and Tim Ginever could do a really good drive time show.

Ginever is one Port person who does not feel he needs to get into the hyperbole of how great they are. Nor does he have a chip on his shoulder. He calls things how they are and both he and Bicks are genuine sporting people who know their stuff and can appreciate other sports.

Plus they both speak well.

I agree. Or Tredrea and Bicks.
Shows how bad it is when Crows folk would actually prefer a Port guy to be on.

3aw still do its own football coverage ill listen to that over afl nation

Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
Each station still broadcasts to its own market I think. That's why we still hear the same AA commentators on Crows and Port games. The neogotiated a subcontract with Crocmedia, I imagine 3AW did the same. But national broadcasts are AFL nation/Crocmedia
I wish the AFL would enforce some sort of standards on AFL nation. It sounds less professional than student radio

The AFL have their money - they don't care about anything more than that.

Tredders another goid option.

Irrelevant what club they played for.

It is the professionalism they show ahead of club allegiances that makes them as good as they are.

Rowie, Rucci and Kane are just trolls.

Kane Cornes is being groomed, feted and publicised as the greatest thing since sliced bread. Even Rootchi penned an article this week on Cornes which was palpably directed media proclamation on the wonders of the man. The article even mentioned how purposefully unbiased Cornes is with anything Port Adelaide ! Give me strength!

But for all the cliquey, manicured message and just plain 'Eddie everywhere' exposure saturation, the guy is dead set BORING ! He's just boring.

Anyway that's my unbiased view.

He does have a hilariously thin skin. Aside from that though he mostly comes off as a throw the toys out of the cot type operator if anyone dares disagree with him.
