They have to try and go big with names as if people have the choice of watching channel 7 with the constant ads for their upcoming lifestyle show lineup, or Fox Sports break free during play, I think the majority will be watching Fox which will hurt the numbers for 7.

Why after all that has gone down in the past week or so would you post something like this that has been copy-pasted straight from a news article without crediting the source?

its very exciting tbh

 

[fancyscum]

Looking at the lists, Gilly is really the only one I like listening to on the fox team. Really surprised Whateley wasn't picked up by one of them.

Looking at the lists, Fox still have a host of callers to announce so he could be one seeing his association with AFL 360. Channel Seven said more commentators will be announced closer to the summer.

 

[Grandsun]

I don't have much left in me. Within the next 20 weeks I probably will officially hang up the mouse. Getting serious, I have a topic I would like to discuss with you guys tomorrow. It's something I am worried about.. Death. I'm scared of dying I don't want to die, I keep thinking about it as I'm 16 and it's gone so quick. It's going to be no time before I'm elderly and that's scary. I can't sleep at night because I keep bringing of it. It's worrying me. I'm going to write a more detailed response tomorrow but ye that is what I'm scared of.

Hanging up the mouse. Classic

This is pretty heavy stuff. I used to be scared of death too at your age, probably a little younger, like 13 or 14. I don’t let it bother me now. Just gotta make the most of life.

 

[akkaps]

The reality of death hit me at the age of 9, when my stepfather passed away. He was only married to my mother for a few months, but I have no memory of my actual parents being together, so those months was the only time I’ve ever had a proper family. The thought of being there one day and not the next, is very scary.

But, you’ll grow Grandsun. And that you’ll never be prepared for the time that someone you know dies.

As for your own death. Don’t be afraid. Personally, I’ve come to the conclusion that once I die, that is the end. I have nothing to fear afterwards. So when it comes at old age, know that you’ve lived a good life, and embrace it.

I hope that helps.
