It'd be nice if that was the end of his media career with the AFL. It won't be, but it'd be nice if it was.

The guy is a complete peanut. Even stuffed up his pre-match ceremony introduction, stumbling over words.

Don't think that just because we are from WA we all like him. We don't.

That lord mayor thing is basically just a local council election containing about six elitist Perth suburbs. It's not even compulsory.

The previous Perth city council was a complete train wreck (aren't they all?). He was a high profile candidate who said he would clean it up and the voters fell for it.

Robbed Goodwin of his speech. Absolute farce

 

[apollo_creed]

Just checked Basil’s twitter. No mention of his * up despite his prolific tweeting and re-tweeting.

Has he gone all CCP and suppressed all discussion of his monumental *-up amongst his constituents? (Taking liberty by pretending a councillor has them)

He’s pretty much the Meatloaf of Grand Final MC’s.

Awesome swimming commentator though. (Note - I may be lying)

He's one of those ones where nothing is ever his fault.

Goodwin should have just walked up there, but he was probably on cloud 9.

Needed to take responsibility more than what he did as outlined in the above article.

It wasn't done on purpose - reasonable people would be understanding. Don't try to spin it.

Typical of the type - absolutely no rear view mirror

Basically "I'm sorry, I take the blame, but none of it's my fault."

An apology ScoMo would be proud of.

"I never apologize. I'm sorry, but that's just the way I am."

 

[Dogs Rule]

Has he only got where he's got because he's got that Poor Man's Cometti tone in his voice? Is that it?

 

[theyellowsash]

lol that pathetic snivelling excuse was worse than the original snub of goodwin. whats the point of hiring him in the first place if he needs someone in his ear telling him what to do?

Deep throating Kerry Stokes’ calloused riddled toes would be the likeliest explanation

Im embarrased by my actions. If I offended anyone I'm sorry.
I will learn from this

don scott calls him comettis love child

 

[Tulip]

Just watched the ceremony for the first time since the GF.

When he called up Embley, he half put his arm around him, looked at him, then decided to announce it himself. Shithouse.

He 100% wanted to have his voice heard as much as possible, given this'll probably be the one time he gets to do it.

 

[hoianbulldog]

Rob sitch needs to do an impression of this guy, ala john hewston on the late show.

 

[MauroFogheri]

Probably the most awkward presenting duo I've ever seen... every time they return to the studio, Georgie (Parker) appears further away from him, like he has BO

Pretty smart using the benefit of the WA time difference for hosting duties

She needs to stand on a stool or a box or something the height difference makes it hard to watch.

I lol every time that I remember Perth elected him mayor
