What's that got to do with Doran?

I'd be interested to see the ratings for purely AFL matches. I listen to Triple M match commentary so I don't have to listen to a Clive Peeters ad after every goal then switch back to SEN the rest of the time.

... or his regular experts.

Rodney Malcolm Hogg (god I hate how he uses middle names for no reason) comes on and gives a real good analysis of cricket and at the end Doran always says "Gee Rodney, you've really done some research there today..."

He uses the middle name because in cricket traditionally cricketers are known with the initials. Like G S Chappell, A R Border, K J Hughes, S R Waugh, M E Warne, S K Warne, D K Lillee.
For some reason cricketers have been known by the full initialed names but that does not infer that KOTPP should call Hoggy Rodney Malcolm Hogg. He is trying to appear like he is in the "know". From his conversations with Hoggy it is apparent he knows very little about the inticacies of the game, his constant Hodge references are testament to this. Let Hoggy do the technical stuff KOTPP and you just listen and learn and try to ask an intelligent question now and then. Please!!!!!!!
 
Love this guy. He is the best. Doran will one day leave an unused brain to science.
 
A lot of people (me included) will be listening at 1pm for the Jim Stynes presser. Sure way to boost his ratings.
 
He asked Andrew Maher if he could see his wedding ring. Is he seriously a male?

I've never met him but he comes across as one of those arrogant w***ers who would treat the producers like crap and act all superior.

I remember years ago from a mate of mine who does some "expert" segments with Doran and I asked him what Doran was like and without commenting on his personality, he just said he was really taken aback at how he teated his produced. Said it was unbelievable.

Yeah, come on MPB, what sport does he cover? I won't tell anyone either.;) You know a lot more than you've been letting on. I knew it!

Actually I don't know a great deal more than that.

He is a former work colleague who I don't see as often these days, and he does still appear on Doran's show.

And that my dear Sir is the absolutely perfect answer I expected. A lot of posters have the producers vs. Doran angst stories I've noticed. Doran was once asked if he spent much time on the Internet and he was quick to point out he never read this kind of stuff. But I'll bet is wife sneaks a peak. ;)
 
I actually dont mind listening to him when he is interviewing, But i must admit he seems like an arrogant pig when he disagrees with the listeners.
