It is one of medias great conundrums - how he continues to be a staple part of this nightly show and how he is the chief football writer at Victoria's biggest newspaper let alone the local free rag. He offers nothing. Nil. Nada. to anyones outlook or analysis of what has happened on or off the field.
The downfall of Fox Footy.

As opposed to yours, with a slightly tragic feel about them.
I am trying to record, and series link, AFL360 on Channel 500, however it also records, and series links, the same show on Channel 504 at the same time.
Can anyone help here and tell me how to stop the second recording.
Many thanks.

First question, why the hell (no pun intended) would anyone want to record 360? If you want to listen to drunk ranting, go down the pub.
Jeez, I stuffed that up, I meant AFL Tonight.
Apologies.

Just wondering if she returned because of the fling with Nick or if Fox nudged her. So Nick gets an ultimatum and she wants to go home to get away from it all. Certainly re arranged the footy team lineup. Meanwhile Tom Morris slithering back into footh
Fox next year get to call all nine games. Right now they're slowly piecing together a team in each city so that they don't have to pay for travel. Kath moving a year early isn't a red flag, was probably just good negotiating on her part if she always wanted to go back.

I wonder if Fox will be able to get Whateley to call the odd game, I'd be interested to see how he'd go on the telly

Got ya. I just remember hearing him during the Ch 10 and assumed he was in the box.
Seems like a missed opportunity then, too.

I do wonder if Gerard would work as a tv commentator. He is solid on SEN but not as good as he would think he is.
He did call some play by play for channel 10 in their Wizard Cup coverage (eg:2003).

Love this Perth crew - how this is not the template for Fox Footy's coverage is beyond me.
It truly begs belief how executives at Fox Footy can listen to Papalia after a game of inane dribble from Dwayne Russell and think "Ah yep both are ticking the box here".
It's absolutely perplexing.
Truly one of life’s great mysteries. 101% embarrassing.

Interesting to see how Robbo goes regarding recent events.
If the article he's put up today is anything to go by, he'll be quite ... 'emotional' tonight, I would think.

Robbo: Nothing to see here as AFL drugs policy ‘all based on lies’
Other than deceiving the public, the clubs, the coaches and the large contingent of the playing cohort, there is nothing to see here, writes MARK ROBINSON of the AFL’s drug testing bombshell.

I wonder how he would react to a club, coach and players who had issues with drugs especially if it is the club he supports ......

Robbo is out of control. Saying the drug taking players need a kick in the head lol
Does Robbo still start each sentence by repeating the first word 3 or 4 times?
You you you...
I I I I...Gerard!

Please no! The bloke would disappear so far up his own arse if given that opportunity
Genuinely don’t think anybody would have a problem with him if he had a relatively normal sounding voice and didn’t have the nerdy persona.
In an industry that’s not just dominated by but ENTIRELY populated by ex footballers, a yobbo (Robinson), and sycophants like Hutchison and McGuire, he is the only one that even ATTEMPTS to bring any sort of intellectual analysis to the footy industry, and he’s the only one who attempts to romanticise footy at a level beyond ‘isn’t it fuggen good goin and gettin pissed with ya mates and avin a dozen tins and watchin the gaaaaame’
Had no problem with him pre SEN days, but he's just as bad as the rest now. As I said, he's too far up his own arse and has an ego the size that any of those ex footballers have.
Usually it's Fox League promoting the s**t out of upcoming boxing bouts but Fox Footy have joined in. Main Event sales mustn't be flash at the moment. I'm not the least bit interested in Tim Tszyu's fight this weekend.
