Open Mike

[Sicks Bux]

Watched the Jacko and Capper ones in the past week. Capper was funny and Jacko was very hostile towards Mike Good stuff.

 

[windyhill]

Ian Stewart was a cracking walk down memory lane.

 

[thejockey]

What did Stewart say about getting the sack as Carlton coach after only 3 games? Forum people reckon it was because he made a pass at Mark McClure in the showers

Yeah I've heard that one too from a few of the older guys at the cricket club

I find Capper pretty entertaining in short doses . Its clearly an act he plays up but does it pretty well . Not so good for the serious chat though.
The 'air traffic control' gag is pretty good

Thought Jacko was just obnoxious on it , did enjoy watching Mike on the back foot and unsettled.

His guest this week is the Collingwood runner who caused the Yeo goal in the 2018 GF.

WTF? No one else worth interviewing?

Except the runner was an ex AFL player who was a high draft pick who had an injury addled career.

Clearly never heard of Alex Woodward. That's on you.

I know who he is. He was drafted in the 50s, achieved bugger all and contributed bugger all. Injury affected, sure. But there are dozens, probably hundreds of ex players just like him. Alex Johnson had more knee recos but at least he played in a flag.
So my point remains; don't see why he warrants an episode, when there are so many other players I'd rather hear from.

Luckily the production of the show isn't centred around only interviewing people you think are interesting

You're defensive. Do you know him?
Can't be too many other reasons to want to hear from a bloke who played 2 games.
An interview with the Fox Footy janitor would be more interesting. At least they'd have good stories being surrounded by ex-players all day every day.

Cool man.

 

[The King!]

the show needs the guys who just run with micks prompting and go into a yarn

otherwise it just goes no where as mike just goes through a few questions and doesnt push much

ian stewart was good, saw jeasulinkos daughter saying he should keep trying for dad, that would be good

 

[Bend_It_Like_Brown]

He needs to get Boomer on there. Would have some very interesting stories over his 432 games.

This to me is an obvious one. And Boomer doesn't mind talking about himself...

 

[wagstaff]

Watched the Ian Stewart one; like others have said one of the better episodes. Definitely helped by Mike & Ian being good friends.

And for once Sheahan asked some interesting questions with some follow ups. But he couldn't help himself on the topic of money; seemed mildly annoyed when Stewart didn't answer it the first time!

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

Alex Woodward.

Geez this bloke is cursed. 5 ACL reconstructions. Accidentally obstructs Stephenson in the 2018 Grand Final as a runner, which gives Yeo an easy mark who goals. Gets death threats on social media. Then is witness to the Burke st massacre when that 3 people were runover and killed.

I hope he doesnt buy lotto tickets.

Taylor Adams has gotten away with that terrible decision and even worse kick. Stevo was never going to get there. Yet somehow Alex copped the blame, so many stupid people in the world.

think he's struggling to get good interviewees. the show is running out of steam, and quickly.

Mentioned on SMT Podcast that Bob Murphy might have knifed Sheahan by stealing guests for his 'Bob' series.
Bob had Fevola and I am pretty sure Sheahan hasn't had him on. You need to get good story tellers on to make this survive.

No doubt , but I thought last night was a good one .
May have lacked the 'stories' but hearing from someone who has done 5 acls gave a different perspective on the game.

I enjoyed it as a change up.

i bumped in to capper several year ago at a pub in surfers on the gold coast. what you see on TV is what you get!

Spot on. And Boomer would have stories galore.

Dunno why it’d even be brought up. It was even used in the promos as the main story. I’m a big footy fan and had forgotten all about it. I appreciate Collingwood supporters probably remember it but I doubt most people do.

The problem with online nuffies is they’re just that. He’ll now get more attention from them over it. It’s no good trying to speak sense etc to them. All you’re doing is giving them the attention they want.

As if Stephenson was ever gonna spoil that anyway. He wasn’t even close.

End of the day the runners shouldn’t be out there at all. No idea why we still have them, they’ve just used to block space.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Covid 19 is probably affecting his ability to get interstate guests.

I didn’t mind it. There’s plenty of AFL footballers whose careers never take off due to injury so it’s nice to hear their story on occasion.

Mike might also be losing potential guests to Dylan & friends which is an interesting listen too
