Is anyone else getting sick of JB's constant references to all things NM?

We put up with it for years with Eddie... but at least in the case of Eddie, he was onboard with one of the most supported teams in the comp.

With JB, I don't want to hear about the lowest supported team in the AFL.

I loved it tonight when Shagga (Grant) went totally against JB and said it was great how WC were supporting Ben Cousins.

If no other AFL club has an issue with the additional $60k in payments to Ben Cousins (for rehab) then why does JB have to whinge about it?

Go like the NRL footy show... don't pretend to talk about footy, just have a good time and have a crack at yer mates!

I don't mind it when he talks about the Kangaroos, Mainly because after he finishes Trev always comes up with a call which has no relation to what JB is on about, and you just forget. Gary on the other hand! He spent the first 10 minutes of the show last night going on about Melbourne, Eddie wasn't that bad.

Grant is no brain surgeon and what it showed was that he didn’t understand what JB said. JB was talking about the salary cap. Grant was talking about helping/paying for Ben.

Anyway, it seems to me your issues is with JB and his opinion re the $60k rather than North getting a mention.

Cant say I watch it anymore other than maybe 5-10mins if they have someone on it I am interested in when I flick the channel past it. Just seems tired and old nowdays....plus I always found Marmalade to be pretty bloody painful with his 70/80's style humour.

Not attacking you in anyway whatsoever but did you have the same carefree attitude when it was Eddie giving Collingwood the same exposure on the show?

Seems like the North Melb players aren't exactly dripping with respect for Brayshaw.

Shannon Grant seemed to be speaking to him with disdain last night... can't say I blame him.

JB should go back to SA and WA where he made a living getting out for single figure scores.

The Kanga talk is getting too much for even Kanga supporters if there are any.

Simple theory guys if u dont like it dont watch it . if rating drop off then the show would be axed. alternatively why not write to channel 9 and air your concerns as im pretty sure eddie wouldnt take much notice of board such as this

I didn't like it when it was the Collingwood show so I can understand it if people don't want it to be the North Melbourne show. I understand totally.

But, if you don't get a bit more North Melbourne it will just continue to be dominated by the fat cat clubs (Collingwood, Essendon, Carlton and to a lesser extent Richmond).

If GL didn't love looking at the mirror so much perhaps he could get some more exposure for Melbourne.

TM is a tool and rarely talks about the club, he just cracks jokes at anyone who is there.

Given our lack of free-to-air coverage this year, the exposure we get on TFS is critical if we are going to grow the supporter base. I didn't watch the show but how much of the show did they actually talk about our club and club issues? I doubt it was that much.

I find SEN worse than the footy show - every time i switch on between 6am - 9am M-F its more often than not a discussion about carlton or, to a lesser extent, geelong. mind you, that aside, its beaut listening.
