Good old media .... the retirement village for AFL footballers. Keeps them off the streets I guess.

Best candidate for the role. Man/Woman/Child/Dog don't care. Think he's pretty good, but he's not strong enough to keep Dermie in line. You gotta cut off the anecdotes before they get started otherwise they'll last 5 minutes. He also fell into the trap of being an expert commentator rather than a play by play commentator. I know he does both on triple M, but it's a bit jarring to listen to. Gotta stick to your chosen lane on the night and let the others do their jobs too.I don't hate him as a play-by-play guy... but I do think those jobs should go to professional broadcasters, particularly female and/or diverse commentators, rather than more jobs for the boys.

I've always found the most bigoted people to be those who view everything through the prism of identity and not competence but perhaps it comes from my own upbringing where it's more important who you are than what you can do.
Jason is employed by Ch7. Montagna is employed by Fox. Not sure what Fox can do there whilst he's stuck calling the VFL with campbell brown. Ask Ch7 why they don't have him on friday nights with BT.I'd much rather have someone like Jason Bennett.
50% of the population are female. At least 95% of the AFL commentariat are male.
What is the percentage difference between men and women in the history of our country who have played an organised game of Australian Rules football?
What is the percentage difference men and women in the radio/TV audience?
These numbers shouldn't matter as much as your point shouldn't matter. If i'm seeking commentators for the AFL as a current producer, i'm looking for either the most recognisable or the most talented, or somebody who falls in between. In all honesty, I don't believe they do the best job of it. But they also won't be doing a good job of it if they try and fill a gender quota.
Unfortunately Isa Ghua isn't available.
Also, don't mind Montagna.
This is absolute shitposting.
The lead caller/s should be professional commentators, not jobs for the boys. They don't have to have played. In fact before Taylor, Christianson and Darcy, I don't remember callers ever being former players, this is a new phenomenon.
The listenership is an even less relevant point. You don't think white men should be subjected to listening to women or Indigenous people?
KB? Lou Richards?this is a new phenomenon.
Rex Hunt Peter McKenna Ian Robbo Jack Dyer Ted Whitten......many many moreKB? Lou Richards?
didn't his mrs say she didn't have a problem with the comments?Montania should be held in the same light as Barry Hall after the horrible radio conversation. I have never understood how LM walked away from that without the same reputation damage as BH.
I was comparing the push back against hall v montania. My comments had nithing to do with his wife or what she thought of them, which is irelevant when talki g about public broadcasts.didn't his mrs say she didn't have a problem with the comments?
And if that is the case then why the fu** does everyone else feel the need to get outraged by something the supposed victim doesn't even think is a big deal?
