FTA-TV AFL 360 - 2021

Again, we're not talking about "presentation".

But sure, print journalists and broadcast journalists don't just work in different mediums. Their entire brains are actually wired differently. That explains it.

You’re arguing a totally different point to what I’m making.

agree to disagree.

I doubt it.

 

[PhatBoy]

I doubt it.

Literally my only point is this:

MOST, not all, the people you see presenting sports programs on tv are trained from early on in their journalism career and studies, specifically to aim their skills at broadcast media.

just having a good knowledge of your field, knowing how to glean information from a subject, knowing how to put that information in a presentable WRITTEN bundle for public consumption, won’t automatically make someone cut out for live on camera presentation of that field.
Simple as that. Nothing more, nothing less.

Again, we're not talking about Robinson's "presentation". We are talking about something far more basic than that i.e. his ability to express himself and organise his thoughts clearly and sequentially. These skills are by no means unique to broadcast journalism. He's all over the shop. He's disorganised by the standards of professional journalism, regardless of the medium.

And let's not forget that he's been working in TV for 10 years so that makes it even worse. Whatever allowances you'd like to make for him because "he's a print journalist" have surely reached their expiry date.

agree to disagree.

You've been here 5 years and you are still getting sucked in?

How long will they be reheating the Carlton discussion in tonight's episode?

My money is on 10 minutes with literally zero new insight.

that’s something we can agree on

 

[Sweet Jesus]

Thanks for the update.

 

[PhatBoy]

Thanks for the update.

Wow.

sorry.

+1 for being over Jack. I've been over him for a while in truth. They need a bigger rotation of players, trying to get unique players each week would be ideal.

I think he is very unpopular in general, but you know he has played 300 games so that must mean he is a great bloke!

Well he got double falatio for a whole week when he played his 300th game from 360 and the general afl media..

Its been interesting that boak and hurn combined wouldn’t have gotten half the exposure for their 300th…

Dunstall and Lyon showing how redundant the ‘sick man’ has become. Sorry..but I don’t miss the illiterate incomprehensible gushing.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

This show is so dull.

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

Boring as crap without Robbo. Everyone is so nice and inoffensive. Nothing of interest or out of the ordinary is spoken.

Yeah. Even stuff like asking the rising star nom if they have a girlfriend. Just the small things to break up the monotony.

So do we know what’s wrong with the fat campaigner yet? Heart threw a s**t fit?

 

[deanc]

So do we know what’s wrong with the fat campaigner yet? Heart threw a sh*t fit?

No news or even solid rumours - my guess given his known 'lifestyle' choices is heart attack.
It's funny how the AFL media are happy to create or promote rumours with coaches/players/club staff etc. regarding their personal lives, but when it's one of their own, they circle the wagons...!!!

 

[Dogs Rule]

I can barely make it past Whateley completely by accident channelling the 12th Man's Wide World of Sport in his intros '...tonight on the 360 agendahhhhh'.

 

[hoianbulldog]

Someone on SEN today mentioned Robbo eating soup and icecream. Sounds like throat or stomach issues.

 

[ClockworkOrange]

The interesting thing about Robbo being out is you’re fully confronted with how completely insufferable Whateley is a person, host and wannabe analyst.

The Cats mascot as host would be a personality trade-up from Gerard, plus bring greater objectivity.

If they want to reboot this show without actually hiring (any?) talent to Fox for ‘22 just give me Kath L and Nick R.

Would just be less infuriating for the long suffering viewers.

The nerdling is great at explaining the ever changing COVID fixture I’ll give him that

 

[Private Hudson]

That’s because he gets off on it.

 

[sosos]

That’s because he gets off on it.

He's fixated on fixtures because no-one else can be bothered trying to understand them. Faux intellectual superiority.

They never talk about the cats unless we lose on any footy show. I agree that he is insufferable.
