Some terrific posts here, credit to you all.
My thoughts, scrambled.
- afl is a domestic sport. Doesnt matter how many times the media tell us its the best game in the world, we are a minnow on the world stage. when someone tells you how good they are, it loses its lustre.
- now, cause its domestic, where are the ex players gonna go, and what will they do? from 18 years old or younger theyre told one thing, footy. media.
- over saturation because of this. Everyone wants to say something. And there's only so many outlets. Outlets are worried their competitor will get that ex player, so it becomes a fight for him. Ex player knows if he's in he's in for life.
- players night. Someone said he's a copy of the NBA. Players night in the NBA feat. former players not current:
- i liked footy opinion to the shape of the ball. oblong. it i unpreditable and bounces all over the place. same with media, they can say one thing, then contradict themselves the next. When questioned as to the change, "oh yeah but its because abcdefg" (and so on).
- robbo is the standard bearer of afl media. Can barely string a sentence together. His go to line? "That's what footy's about".
- because of the over saturation, media need to come up with topics every minute. "Where are carlton at?". Again, domestic sport so we can't extend to other leagues across the globe for added content.
- i just heard i think adam ramanaskus say a tigers "one wood" is to rebound quickly etc. ONE WOOD? Oh look at me, I'm so clever with my abstractedness.

All commentator roles for TNT’s Players Only will be comprised of former professional basketball players, including those in more traditional play-by-play, studio host and reporter positions. TNT’s Players Only roster will include two game commentator teams – BrentBarry (primary host and play-by-play) with DerekFisher and GrantHill; and GregAnthony (primary host and play-by-play) with KevinMcHale and Richard “Rip” Hamilton – along with reporters Lisa Leslieand Dennis Scott. Additional NBA players will also contribute to Players Onlythroughout the five-week span.
Studio coverage from Atlanta will be anchored by ChrisWebber with IsiahThomasand BaronDavis. Additionally, segments from Area 21 with TNT analyst KevinGarnett, joined by special guests each week, will be incorporated into the game and studio coverage throughout the evening.
“Our new Players Only franchise will allow us to provide a unique and compelling narrative surrounding the game through the distinct perspective and collective experiences of the former NBA player,” said CraigBarry, Executive Vice Presidentand Chief Content Officer, Turner Sports.
