Christ, there's a need for some decent coverage on free to air TV for sports fans. unfortunately we're lumped with Tom Webster and Phil Woods, great at what they do, which is wash dishes, but absolutely criminal in their broadcasting incompetence.
And has anyone caught The Fat on the ABC, what an embarrassing attempt at sports comedy. the Rugby League commentator, Phil Wilkins is about as funny as a dead baby's doll. And as for their attempt to grab a token Swan to satisfy the largest spectator interest sport in the country, well...I give in.
I can't wait for the Western Football League coverage to return to Channel 31, now THAT'S interesting television.
Telly needs something that's not as pie-in-the-face as the Footy Show, and not as pretentious as Talking Bullsh...er...Footy. Something that takes the piss and leaves you thinking. The Poms do it well with the soccer show - Fantasy Football league, a show by barrackers, for barrackers.
But christ, don't expect anything blisteringly unique from australian television.
And those that think the TV rights will be the saviour of the game, including Wayne Jackson and his gang of carpetbaggers, might take note of the 300,000 decline in TV viewers over the last decade.
Yeah, footy on free-to-air telly, it'll always be there...
Won't it?
