its like a televised reading of the telephone book

His crimes against broadcasting are bad but the interviews with the poor Auskick kids are the worst. The kids are all thinking "who is this fookwit!" - has no rapour *(sic) with them at all. At least Dipper was/is enthusiatic about it! Has Romping reproduced - interaction with kids would suggest otherwise

* (See Swampcreatures Editorial post below - I apologise forthrightly for my crimes against the English language. Anyway as Swampcreature has pointed out it should read "rapport")

I have no idea about his contract but I hope is not at Seven next year. The scariest thing is that you get the impression he is blind to his own smugness, and disgraceful commentating.

Given that he hosts GameDay on Sunday, and he seems to have the lead play-by-play role on the games that he does, I fear they're positioning him to almost be the next Bruce McAvaney (with Basil Zempilas being his Dennis Cometti).

It's definitely happening.


"Bob Murphy for me... I'm not going to leave my wife but if the wife and I didn't work out I'd be happy just to give Bob a call."

He actually said that during a game a few weeks ago.

I agree that they are attempting that. But the outcome has been atrocious, and actually getting worse. So I don't know whether they would go through with it.

I'm only one person so they couldn't care less. But they have one less person watching the AFL coverage. I'm not going to the game tomorrow so radio commentary will do.
 
Has anyone seen him in the new Crown Casino ad? It's painful to watch.

Never seen a bloke on try to fit in so hard on TV.

Is he playing Tennis or banging high society socialites then writing about it on wikipedia in the ad?

If by that you mean kissing Jonathan Brown and Shane Crawford's arses, then I guess you're right.
Or maybe he means by being an arrogant smug prick to kids on a Saturday night
