I don't watch much of these post-game shows. In general, repetitive and rather dull. However, Leigh Matthews is always worth a listen, and I do rather enjoy Jimmy Bartel. Much better than many of the others.

I was looking to kill a bit of time this morning, so loaded up the most recent episode.
Way more Tom Morris than I can stomach, his big call was curiously telling the goal umpire who was responsible for the Ben Keays fiasco last year to 'back himself' after getting a bit review happy in the Hawthorn v North game. Yet another panel consisting of a club director/president (Bartel) who's hopelessly conflicted whenever his own club is being criticised. Leigh Matthews - I'm still struggling to decipher his point about the Geelong v Brisbane game, suggesting that Geelong's performance was all down to the players, that it had nothing to do with the coaches.
Oh, and not one, but two Pointsbet segments. Think I'll pass, lads.

Someone didn’t do their research for last night’s episode. Morris named several veteran players who he said could be named All-Australian for the first time. One of the players he listed was Jack Gunston. The thing is, Gunston was in the All-Australian team in 2018.

I wish to Christ they'd coach Hird to finish a thought without waving around those rubbery, boneless hands.
Nauseating.
Nauseating.
Between this and Footy Classified that's currently on, are we supposed to like James Hird now?

Atleast Hird has been there, done that.

They did this last year too, with Footy Furnace post-GF.
He annoys the **** out of me hird.
From the untouchable golden boy with no left foot.
To the Knights period " I do not want the job"
Next minute he's coach. No apprenticeship at another club.
Leads a club into a drug cluster ****.
Has a dickhead trophy wife annoying the shit out of everyone.
Has a dickhead father ( who he's estranged from, there's a shock !!) mouthing off left right and centre.
Has a dickhead mouthpiece, slobbo, defending him constantly.
Gets gifted a job at gws, as a sort of payback for some god knows unknown reason.
Has a multi millionaire / billionaire pay for all his legal fees (Paul little)
Gets a cosy job at port Melbourne with that ****wit dumbdoro.
His son wins the b& f. ( I'm shocked to be sitting here)
Has his best mate welsh rock in as president ( we all know what happens next)
Watching him on footy furnace, he comes across as a smug, know it all ****.
Smug toorak ****.

I don't mind him but he has had things fall his way. I remember reading a profile/interview where he was talking about studying civil engineering and sort of said "...yeah, I didn't really like it but completed it to please my granddad..." Not uncommon sure, but pity the poor guy/girl who could have been in that lecture room in place of him

would rather listen to the thoughts and opinions of Hird then any other non-playing peanut on a panel.
Man's got chapters to his book no doubt.. Yet have always respected the on-field Hird.
Leigh Matthews stands head and shoulders above any pundit you want to name.
According to this news, the show may need a new host next year.
