Is that Jack Silvagni at the tail end of the virgin economy X ad sitting next to the tall bloke in the plane seat?

Yep

 

[Styxx]

Yeah I finally noticed that last night.

Also, don't expect Emily Angwin at home games next year, pretty sure she just took a big job in China doing English language news there.

What's wrong with Emily Angwin?

 

[thylacine60]

she'll come back from os with a professional suit of skills and will pick up a well paid local gig as a consequence - hope she never forgets her blue connections

She is Lawrence's Sister !!!!

Seriously, can't begrudge her for leaving for China, this is a once in a lifetime for leaving, and she deserves every bit of success and happiness over there.

Incidentally legendary ABC weatherman Edwin Maher went over to work in China for a while after leaving Aunty.

Never warmed to her and her brand
Much preferred Michelle and Grace

Fair, she only resigned from 7 yesterday so might be filling her final contractual roles AFL wise before heading over later, she has announced it on her social media.

She gives me a headache at every home game with her non-stop crap “entertainment” blasting so loud I can barely have a conversation with friends sitting next to me.

Sadly her replacement next year will probably do the same.....?

Think that’s what they get paid to do unfortunately Funk

she's certainly on a hiding to nothing - nothing to work with and screamingly loud to boot..........

Would be nice to discuss the game with the people around me after every quarter, without hearing that "oblivious cam" crap.

 

[thylacine60]

couldn't agree more - why is it we have to be treated like children with 5 seconds of attention span who need to be entertained by blaring, cringe-worthy nonsense?

At least we won't need to hear her imploring us to "Make some noise Blue Baggers!" when we're losing to Norf by 45 points at half time anymore.

 

[thylacine60]

true that - or the halftime gee up she was trying to sell when we were 12 goals down to freo..............

 

[Arr0w]

What else would you want her to do when losing

"Yay us"

 

[thylacine60]

nothing - it's a completely inappropriate time to say anything - smashed and humiliated just let em get off the ground - contrived support is just that.....

 

[Laurence]

I did feel sorry for her that day

 

[thylacine60]

you could almost hear her thinking before she clicked the mic on - what the * do I say now?

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

"Yay us"

Nothing just shut up and let us wallow in our misery

 

[Masqualero]

Just doing her job, if she doesn't someone else will.

I agree with the first part of your statement, she is just doing the job that she is asked to do. As far as the next part goes I really hope not as I don't See the necessity for anyone to be doing that job.

No amount of attempts to 'gee up' the crowd will achieve anything when your team is being smashed and when it is doing well it's unnecessary as the crowd will be pumped up any way.

Either way it's not needed and only serves as an annoyance.

I will never understand the obsession with Americanising the game. We aren't American, we are Aussies, we don't respond to the same stuff as they do. Our game is unique, we don't need to take the lead from any other football codes.

Let's celebrate the differences rather than try to morph into them.

I like the natural atmosphere at games, that's all I need.
