Radio The SEN Thread 10

[MYOB]

Agree, I can't listen to him. He is just so friggin full of himself!!!

I take it you can't stand Jason Richardson either then.

 

[bedford]

His laugh puts me off. Get Fev on, he was good yesterday.

For the overnighters, what are everyone's thoughts on Shane Donoghue? I can not stand him, I find him frustrating to listen to. Maybe it's because I find myself disagreeing with 90% of what he has to say, but I just cringe every time he has an opinion about something. I was thinking he was only going to be around when Teo was on hols but it seems he'll be around for a while

 

[MacMum]

Have only heard him a couple of times, and each time he has genuinely made my blood boil!....seems very opinionated and doesn't seem to want to hear another point of view.....and never mind if what he is saying is nowhere near the facts..

 

[Flameboy]

Said it before and I'll say it again - the Ox is the worst ball by ball commentator in the business.

 

[bedford]

After BT and Darcy

Shane-O Prize flog of the highest order. Always acting the hard man, and if I hear him go on about how "soft" the game's become, I'm gonna head down there with a baseball bat and bad attitude.

Be gone, Shane-O, GONE!!

Is this guy that Hawks fan?

"if brett ratten put bootsma into the ruck, he'd be up on a manslaughter charge"

hahaha. i've hated wallsy for ages, but he's been good value on SEN this year.

 

[Hawthorn United]

Walls worked perfectly for radio where we can't see what he's just told us in his special comments.

Captain Obvious becomes Captain Informative.

Nearly drove off the road this afternoon.

He was "unlucky' according to him. No excuse for being over 05

Nup, I'm pretty sure Schibeci ain't no journo or not nothin'; he's just some dude, like us. No joke, his previous job was either at an abattoir, cemetary, or something similarly ghoulish and requiring little skill and no qualifications. He mentioned it on air once. So, ya gotta wonder how a guy go can from a job like that to hosting a radio show. That wouldn't happen on 3aw in a million years. So what if he shouts a bit of really loud crap at the MCG? That hardly qualifies him to host hours of talk radio. The thought of someone like him getting a gig at 3aw or the ABC does me head in.

You taking the piss knackers? WHat qualifcation does denis walter have besides hosting keno being a former singer & doing furnrel ad's?

As people have suggested, I gather he'd work cheap, and he's probably a good bloke, so, he's half way there. Good luck to him for being resourceful, determined and durable, I guess.
One thing's for sure, he didn't get the gig on his looks. :

SEN's problem from the start has been not being able to pay big bucks for great talent, so we get a bunch of no-names, such as the overnight guys and fill-in blokes -- and dare i mention Matt Thompson? . Even some of the guys that are now known were either unknown or untried when they started, such as Finey, Andrew Maher, Harford, Richo, Darcy (gone, of course) and Thommo. Any money they do have goes to the 'big' names, like Dermy, Whispy, "Kin-jee", Huddo (? Maybe not) and Wallsy.

Obviously, the commercial reality is that things won't change until the ratings improve, which could take years, especially based on how slowly they've increased (and/or plateaued) since the station's inception.

regular joe over .05 = charged as per law

footy player over .05 = excuses made by media

 

[bedford]

But whats the point of the club fineing him, he will pay enough without his licence

 

[MYOB]

regular joe over .05 = charged as per law

footy player over .05 = charged as per law plus fined and suspended by club.

as it should be.

i guess my comment was more about sportspersons getting off lightly for offences in general.

The information on the new Collingwood training oval , where Olympic Park once stood , that he choose to tell us all about the other night , was totally incorrect.

With his access to media contacts he could have given the listeners the "facts" but for whatever reason choose to use it as a "Rich club v Poor clubs" agenda instead.

 

[MacMum]

Yeah, that sounds about right...likes the sound of his own voice imo..

 

[Contra Mundum]

Missed "Who do you do" this morning - apparently someone did a great Finey - wish I had heard it

 

[peternorth]

yep finey was excellent this morn.

actually very solid all round performers.

any no rhonda.

 

[Private Hudson]

Cam Mooney should be on more ...like his work!

No one has mastered the true essence/****ing madness of Peakey - those Allan Mance singalongs are like performance art or something - its totally bizarre
