SEN, or AFLEN ?

[Matthew Lloyd's a diver]

Despite all the promises from Anthony Hudson that SEN would remain committed to other sports blah blah blah, SEN appear to have ditched anything that might upset the AFL, in favour of, well, the AFL.

Tuned in Friday to hear the Storm, but nope, only got Bruce Eva and Mark Fine talking ad nauseum about the Saints, as usual. Then I hear an advert for the AFL coverage which will go until 1am on Saturday and Sunday mornings, which means the 4 Diegos have got the flick. Lastly, Ed Wyatt announces last night that "Born in the USA" has also been discontinued too.
I have no doubt that SEN were given the rights with plenty of provisos from the AFL, but I think Hudson has had more to do with these decisions. He showed on "The Run Home" that he was clearly out of his depth when the talk moved away from football, and now that he is practically running the station, he can act on that by just flooding the station with footy.

To run the weekend as purely AFL, will be massive overkill. Then every other program will just be filled with it too, and I can see even the biggest fans of footy, like myself, actually getting sick of it. They will have the odd interview with other sporting identities, just to fill a bit of free space, but I think a change from SEN, to the AFLEN would be a pretty good place to start season 2007 !

yeah I agree, not only should we be talking more about the "possible" drug problem in the AFL but we should get the individual analysis from every tested players urine, I also want to know what every administrator for every club has been doing since they were born until now and their projected activities over the next 12 months. And maybe some roving reporters asking people in the street what they think of every clubs chances in 2007 and publically berating them if they no nothing or have no interest in the sport.

What is there left to talk about until the season starts? Caro must be desperate to think up some story that she hasn't thought up before so she can fill a column on the back page of the age while Mike Sheahan is probably considering doing a countdown of the best unknown AFL coach's second cousins daughters wives and what they think of Nathan Buckley!

The 4 Dagos are going to be on Mon-Thurs at 11pm starting in the few weeks.

great post someday, i cant stop laughing you have a great sense of humour. I was only being tongue in cheek as well

I have a question for you.
Why would you have your team as unlisted?
We know you are a hawks supporter, not ashamed are we?

 

[Stripes666]

The soccer on SEN bores me to tears. Oh god. What about some VFL, SANFL, WAFL or TAC cup scores instead of some teams that no one cares about playnig oversees

I don't know about anyone else, but if I had money invested in SEN, I'd be asking them politely to broadcast AFL football 20 hours out of every 24, 7 days a week.

It's nice to cover other sports, but no-one ever went broke offering AFL overkill in Melbourne. Just see the Herald Sun if you want proof.

Not unhappy about Born in the USA getting the flick. I quite like the two presenters, but American sports leave me colder than F-U's witless rants.

Yeah, i'm not one for US sports either, but i love those 2 guys, they are great personalities.
Really going to miss Liam Pickering and Mark Allan, that show was great.

mark allen is a ****er

comes on KB's show thinking golf is the most important sport in the world, and takes up a whole hour in the morning talking about!!! BORING!!!

SEN is in melbourne, melbourne is the home of footy, people ring up and wanna talk about footy, if you wanna talk about something else, ring up and start the topic!!!

 

[My North]

plenty of sport on SEN 1116

 

[Naughton]

Now to get rid of the boxing show.

If the guys who call into that show are any indication, they have a constituency almost totally comprised of broken-nosed, scarred, tattooed, arthritic guys who used to hold the spit bucket at the fights. Kind of like Paulie from Rocky.

LOL, i don't find golf exciting either but have a guess why he talks for the whole hour about golf.........IT'S THE GOLFING HOUR!!!!!!!!

SEN is a sports station, not a football only station.
