[NSWCROW]

Inb4 they spend 30 mins on how Nigel Smart " ended " his career

 

[The King!]

Hes a knee slapper

Bad screw up by Mike there. Totally misunderstood where the Fish was coming from with that forward pocket comment. The first time I've seen him mess up in one of these.

Yeah not sure why he didnt get it,like oh whats wrong with that


Essendon fans booing salmon tsk tsk

That was annoying.

Good bloke, but that interview just confirmed that Essendon supporters are the most fickle in the league.

I seem to recall Salmon doing some media in the past but not sure if he's doing it now? Not sure why not. He speaks very well, intelligent and a friendly nature. Always admired how he resurrected his career at the Hawks after looking done at the dons.

 

[Hawkas1988]

A real gentleman of the game is Fish.

He says that the HFC did a lot for him when he came to Hawthorn but he did a lot for our club and our supporters, superb player.

It's the intelligence that gives him away as not being deep into the footy media isn't it?

A bit random, but just having a look at Salmon's career, how did he not get three votes on this day? 32 disposals, 35 hitouts and 22 clearances (!) in a two point win, and he didn't even register a vote - madness!

Wayne Johnston next week.

The Kennedy Snr one was pretty boring I thought. Probably because of the era he played and coached in though, it's just a bit too far back for me.

And I prefer the interviews with guys who have remained relevant in the game during the modern era, even if they played and coached in a previous one.

Brownlow votes back in those days are quite funny reading sometimes. That has to be 3 votes though, ridiculous.

Dominator that will be interesting

 

[Rod Stroker]

I'm guessing Mike won't be asking questions about an alleged incident in an automobile with a team mate and channel 10 newsreader.

 

[Beetlebum]

He might try it on.

Do you think that Mike will fly a kite ?

I fear you may have a slightly narrowly defined view of the word 'relevant', the modern game wouldn't be what it is without the likes of Kennedy Snr. Assuming you're South Australian, is it because the era of his direct influence was pre-AFL?

Agree 100%.

This generation are spoonfed with the internet - One click of the button and you have all the information that you need. Bit different to me making numerous trips to Melbourne Library, to read old newspapers to learn more about the game.

And who wants to watch Open Mike interviewing current stars/officials/coaches etc - We fairly much know their story.

We fairly much know what they had for breakfast these days..

 

[Percel]

Very uncomfortable.

Geez Mike, why dont you ask a fella about his deceased son, and whether or not if help was there he could have been saved.

Pretty disgusted tonight

 

[partylikeits1990]

Absolutely gutted after watching that interview with Wayne Johnson. I have a twelve year old son who plays footy. I cannot even comprehend the horror of what that man must experience to this day.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Same old story; he excels on the footy questions because he knows his shit so well, but struggles when he gets personal; he gets the stutters, is unsure of himself, and the interview takes a weird turn.
He should just stick to the footy and leave the psychology stuff alone.

Interesting that Johnston referred to the Woman's Day story.
