They announced it on 360 tonight, Gerard & Robbo are interviewing Mike for the final episode which airs next week. I’m gonna miss it.

That sucks
Sure Mike isn't always the best interviewer, but I've learnt a lot of great stories over the journey
Seemed like he ran out of guests the past couple years.

It's crap but I wish there was more of it?
Concept is great. Execution slowly fell away but brilliant at its peak. Could continue with the right host but not sure who that could be. Sad to see it finish.
Wonder if GW and Robbo will ask him what sort of money he is on?

I sure Mike doesn’t do it for free.
Don’t think Mike would get 20k per ep

I had herd somewhere the going rate for guests was $5k per episode for someone they really wanted. But some happy to do for free.
wonder if the show is a victim of cost cutting?

Half the stuff he talks about is already out there if you wanna dig through the net.
"oh so you kicked that goal in the grand final.. how did u feel?"
"yeah good"
"after the break... how else did you feel?"
On SM-G925I using BigFooty.com mobile app
I’m suprised he never got Brad Johnson & Riewoldt on considering they worked at fox footy
Week 1, Bill Brownless
Post prelim interviews with Zach Tuohey and Sam Menegola showed how bad their preparation is in most cases. Luke Darcy butchers the pronounciation of Tuohey's hometown Portlaois (Port-leash) JB talks mentions Menegola was born in the NT before being told "that's not true". 5min of research to avoid that.
You need a journo because they've been taught how to research.

A few of my memorable ones:
- Robert Walls - stuff about Jack Elliot and the uk trip ( battle of britan) was fascinating.
- Mark Eustace - harrowing
- Peter Schwab- Sad
- Jacko - bizzare !

A shame the show never consistently reached the heights of its good episodes. The show often was unable to get guests that hadn't been in the media post football, the Jacko episode was a last ditch effort to get the show back in the spotlight.
Episodes towards the end just lacked the intrigue and insight into interesting stories, and probably relied on headline grabbing incidents in the players career or money questions.
Ten best episodes were Barnes, Kink, A Stoneham, Walls, Scarlett, Platten, Modra, Lloyd, Blight and Boyd.
