I wouldn't listen to him. He'll likely give someone a spray and call them all sorts. Usually he's great, but when it's something that'll likely get him angry, it's awful.

Even whinging old fart Boycott on the ABC is more tolerable than a Mark Fine childish rant.

Those are some pretty significant drop-offs. It's as if there is some sort of massive before/after hours station boycott! Very odd.
Probably because with all the essendon coverage and sen apologists the only program that is bearable to listen to currently is KB's (and overnights), as at least he has people from both sides of the AFL fence on his program plus guys like DC who have a good grounding on the drugs in sport issue.

Amazing call there by John? who called Finey out on the drugs saga.
about to post the same thing...called him out, and his only response is the arbitrary distinction between afl and aussie rules.

i too have stopped listening to finey as much due to his soap box on the dons saga.

Listen to the overnight guys, and to be honest I suppose the issue is done to death by then.There seems to be a culture at the station that certain issues are not to be spoken, and individuals not to be put offside.
I heard Harford this afternoon, and if you can't see that Tim Watson is heavily conflicted on this issue then you're in complete denial.Some at the station have looked after mates and the whole "Boys club" mentality has ensured

I listened to him last night ( the first time in a while) he was great on the tragic shooting of Chris Lane.
I agree entirely with him on America's lax gun laws and culture.
Then turned off when they reluctantly got on the Essendon issue.
It's a pity because I reckon Mark is easily the wittiest and best presenter at the station

That's very safe ground though - most would agree on the gun issue

Fewer agree on his views regarding the EFC situation (I refuse to call it "saga")

Even Harf has started to remove the blinkers re Essendon

Tragedy aside, does anyone else reckon it was a bit "me, me, me" of Finey to play the interview he did with the American station? :p

They could've just discussed it without playing the interview, and I don't think it added anything, other than to let Finey tell us that he did an interview which was apparently on relay to 300-odd stations across the U.S.

Eh, he's alright. I suppose you've gotta have some confidence to do what he does

i tihnk everyone agrees that TW is in the most conflicted position in the history of the game. he must back and support his former club at all costs given his legendary status there. and his son is the captain.

i look forward to hearing his thoughts when this ends, hopefully soon!!!

They've got no choice really. Defending the indefensible

The guy they have on with Schibeci on On the Grid, who's there to talk about F1 and MotoGP? I don't mind him. I don't agree with everything he says, but he's not a spanner about it. It would be good if they kept him on for the whole hour if he wants.
