Re: The SEN Thread 9

Hungry for an AFL Season

Who else can be the straw that stirs the SEN listener’s piñata on a Thursday morning more than Grunk “Venom” Denham? I’d of course list those names but I’d be here a month.





Monty....Aside from your pretty astute takes, I am amazed by your capacity to listen to a show, memorise EVERY single word and be able to enter on this site.
 
Re: The SEN Thread 9

I too am amazed, must surely tape the shows to be able to repeat them on here word for word.....or have access from the inside of SEN..


..and while I'm at it....listened (or tried to) Peakey after midnight today, seemed to be 4 of them, but my god one of them likes the sound of his own voice.....kept talking very loudly over the top of the others, hardly heard Steven J. at all.....whoever it was, was a real p.i.a to listen too, I turned it off after a while..

Its a pity the powers that be at SEN don't read it, as they would see what everyone else thinks of Smith and Denham.

Catching up with Rita “Softpaws” Panacea
Kitty_softpaws_0001.jpg


What’s up with Nic Naitanui being slammed by the likes of Mick Malthouse for having a little fun at a basketball game? What sort of a precious bubble-rap world of insanity do we live in where a sports star needs to be counselled for a slam dunk? I guess we should stop footballers doing all sorts of things. Josh Gibson hurt himself in the shower so now no more bathing until the Occupational Health and Safety checks have been carried out and appropriate training session’s undertaken. Fair dinkum!

What’s up with Bernie Vince being suspended, fined, and publicly shammed for a little Coyote Ugly fun? No one was hurt, plenty were entertained and dare I say a few were titillated. So why are the Crows getting so precious over a fun-loving boy’s harmless hijinks?

What’s up with the Rebel’s Adam Brynes receiving a ten match suspension because of an accidental little gouge? Sure, a Waratah ended up with a little scratch on his eyeball, but it’s a man’s game. If you want to run to the officials every time your eyes are scrapped then you should find another sport to excel in. In all seriousness, Brynes penalty is grossly unfair given his record. He doesn’t deserve the type of penalty that should be reserved for serial head stompers.

What’s up with overt displays of racism on a top rating reality show? I’m talking about the Serbian mum on Please Marry My Boy who is shameless in her mistreatment of an Australian girl in favour of the Serbian girl vying for the affections of a podgy, balding man-child of a son. If the situation was reversed they’d be outrage. Perhaps it’s time we finally accepted that racists come in all colours and nationalities.

What’s up with Carlton inviting Andy Lee and Megan Gale to their season launch but failing to invite their ruckman, and Megan’s current squeeze, Shaun Hampson? Do they want Megan and Andy to hook up again? Or are they just flustered that Brad Sewell is dating Francesca Cumani and can no longer boast having the highest profiled Wag in town? I think I speak for all men, and quite a few women when I say, bravo Bradley, bravo.

What’s up with the bigotry of low expectations where well-meaning but ultimately foolish do-gooders fall over themselves to make excuses for a particular race rather than hold an individual accountable for their own actions. We saw it with Krakouer and we’re of course seeing it again with the reporting of the Jurrah case. It may come as a rude shock to hapless footy types but family disputes leading to violence are not unique to the Aboriginal community. Sadly, as well intentioned as some of this reporting has been it has had a counter productive affect of scaring at least one club away from recruiting talented Aboriginal boys who just want to play footy.

What’s up withy Matt Rendell being crucified for nothing more than caring too much about the lot of indigenous players? To paint this man as some sort of ignorant Neanderthal redneck is obscene. This is a man who cares passionately about indigenous players and all he was trying to do was impress upon those in power that there is, in his considered view, a looming crises in an industry with a high rate of attrition amongst Aboriginal players. Now you may disagree with that – I do – but that doesn’t mean you brand a decent man a racist and sack him after thirty-five years of service.

What’s up with Jason Mifsud making an issue of that particular line months after they were uttered? Why not make your defence known immediately and tell Rendell where to go? Or at least contact Adelaide Football Club and tell them they have a racist recruiter. If he seriously thought that Rendell was going to employ this strategy of only recruiting indigenous players with one white parent, then he had an obligation to make the Crows aware immediately instead of telling a journo months later.

You GO, girl!

Re: The SEN Thread 9

I wonder how many people complained to the station about V8 Nation are now thrilled at listening to a Netball promotion? You/they got what you/they deserved!

what happened to v8 nation? i thought there was a motorsport show on early mornings (sat or sun). i'd hear it on one of those mornings and switch off.

i think ben carbonaro wanted more netball

Just listened to the TV freak hour with Scotty Goodings and Finey. Amazing how many times they referred the Simpsons quiz freak Sam as a guy! She could have made it easier on them by telling the panel operator that her name was Samantha.

Re: The SEN Thread 9

I just assumed Monty gets a transcript from somewhere. :p

Speaking of listening to the station too much:

I completely have no life. My 'SEN situation' is thus: I'm a deabeat, washed-up coverband musician, who now only does 3 crappy, sole-destroying (well, my music sole was killed many years ago :p) duo gigs a week. For a lot of the rest of the time, I cycle (train, race, and do some commuting). I tape tons of radio shows, including hours of SEN, to listen to on the bike or when driving home late at night, . I have 3 radios plugged into about half-a-dozen cassette decks, which are plugged into timers, all rigged to record different shows when I'm either asleep or not home.

Therefore, ergo, so, anyway, this "less-than-a-full-life" of mine qualifies me as a corehard listener. :p

It'd be nice if SEN did more podcasting, but I guess that involves more money.

It's great that, after all these years, Sports Today (3aw) is now podcasted and on the site about 15min after the show ends.

If you are that hard core ditch the cassette tape decks.

Buy an mp3 voice recorder , it can record 500+ hours for each 2gb , and 2 sets of rechargeable batteries , charging one set whilst recording with the other set , they last about for 70 hours per recording , before needing recharging again.

And a radio with a speaker , turn the volume down low , mic is strong enough to pick up sound , put it in an undisturbed area of your home and record away.

You can then record all your shows , whilst you sleep or work , then just transfer the files to computer and edit anything that you want to listen to or keep.

Transfering files to computer takes 10 mins.

You can then buy another elcheapo mp3 recorder to use out and about with all the shows that you have recorded or transfer them to your iPhone or other if you have that.

It works , you've gotta love 1's and 0's :thumbsu:
 
Re: The SEN Thread 9

Does Daniel Harford have to agree with every decision the AFL makes?
Don't get how Israel Falou playing Aussie Rules is going to attract NRL Fans.
Total nonsense, I agree with Darcy in saying he'll be back playing NRL when his contract expires.

i/zzy will attract nrl fans as they will tune in to see how he goes. minor interest, but interest nevertheless.

is darcy former bulldogs darcy?

since sen got footy they've been absolute suck jobs of the afl. if the afl was a bloke, sen would be taking it down the oesophagus balls to chin.

kb just supports everything they do. rule changes he fawns over cause its his job. his defence of izzy this morning was sickening. brought up cases of stynes and ohailpin as success stories. failed to acknowledge that izzy looked like a deer in headlights.

Re: The SEN Thread 9

Hungry for Izzy on a Manic Monday

The Giants surprised me on Saturday night losing by sixty-three points; was nearly a moral victory for the fledgling club. I predicted a fifteen to twenty goal loss and I felt that was on the conservative side. Seventeen debutantes and not one superstar was an impossible task to even be competitive against on of last year’s finalists. Let’s give Israel Folau a chance. [Putz] Smith in the Australian today claimed GWS played with seventeen men. Give him a break [Putz]. He was the face of the game; a promotion tool for the AFL and the new franchise. Yes he did struggle, like many first gamers in the past. But in a couple of cameo efforts he showed he’s a chance for the experiment to work.
I’m KB, That’s My Take.

So that KB Take can only mean there’s an hour ahead with a cantankerous blowhard never-run-a-business sports critic. KB says Putz just about whacked everything to do with the game on Saturday night. I suspect the word “we” will not feature big in Smitty’s ranting today. … Smith plays safe by suggesting KB has read too much into his paper column and asserts he means playing Folau is O.K., but it means playing with only seventeen men on the ground.

Putz: I don’t think that’s having a whack at him, it’s just saying yes, your promoting the game, but it comes at a cost, and that is that you’ll probably never be competitive while Izzy runs around.

Damn, if Smith’s right the G-Boys might not make the eight?:eek: Already it’s clear that Smith , as often, states the bleeding obvious but – having no actual sports business or marketing experience – simply doesn’t understand the financial and marketing trade-offs that apply to the Folau/Hunt on-field scenarios. Like most journalists that write and talk about what other people do, he sees everything as round and square pegs to fit into round and square holes. Or, if some people are deemed to make too much money, simply tax them and share the largesse to the always-aggrieved masses on the basis of fairness. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need,” as someone once said. Smith seems to loathe the fact that Folau gets a million large when he can’t yet play at anywhere near the AFL level.

KB argues that many players hardly touch the ball in their first outing and references Timothy Michael Watson mentioning Jobe getting one handball in his first game while accusing Putz of signalling out Folau because of his high profile. Smith says that Folau hasn’t got a clue what’s happening on the football field and mocks him for having no clue or idea in ruck contests. … KB argues a case as Putz goes the humour angle.

Putz: What I’m saying is, is Izzy Folau hasn’t got a clue what’s happening on the football field. Did you watch him try and do any ruck work, Kevin?
KB: Well unfortunately he was thrown into the ruck because Brogan wasn’t playing. Now I don’t think they want to play Israel Folau in the ruck along side Giles, they want to play him down forward. But they haven’t got too may people of size in the club.

Putz: No, no, no, that’s absolutely true, and of course he had to ruck. But did you see him in the ruck?
KB: Yes I did!

Putz: Had no idea did he?
KB: Well he had as much idea as Mike Pike had when he first came out here.

Putz: Mike Pike had size, Kevin. That was the fundamental thing; he was tall and big so he was-
KB: So you’re whacking Israel Folau because he didn’t impress you as a ruckman?

Putz: No-no-no, I’m just saying that it does show that what he did in the ruck and what he did around the ground. Kevin, I think at times he just walked across the ground to see some friends on the other side. I don’t think he knew he was playing football. (Sid-splitting stuff from Putz:rolleyes:)
KB: ‘Course he knew he was playing football!

Putz: [whimsically] I’m not sure.
KB: There were a couple of cameo appearances there throughout the game. There was one where he took a very good mark…
[…]
Putz: Have you ever seen anyone more surprised that the ball hit his chest?
KB: He swooped on the ball, and he’s around about what, six-foot-four, he’s very light on his feet, he picks it up in the last quarter; first of all he made the tackle, swooped on the loose ball … handpassed out, then ran on and blocked and they finally got a goal. There was a bit of cameo stuff there to say that Israel Folau – yes, he’s a work in progress – but I wouldn’t give up on him. Originally I thought he had no chance whatsoever but they’ve put a lot of time into him, and I think there’s some signs there.

Putz reiterates his basic premise of the day inasmuch as don’t give up on him but as using him as a marketing ploy, you play with seventeen men. And that will limit a team trying to learn the game. KB recoils with his premise that Putz is being too harsh on the first gamer. … Smith adds that Folau isn’t even in the GWS worst twenty-two; “he’s a project at the moment, [Putz], replies KB who then asks if Folau will ever be good enough to be in their best twenty-two down the track? Putz says he absolutely hopes so.

KB: No, but do you think he will be?
Putz: [Silent pause]Ohhh, look, [another silent pause] that’s a terribly tough call, um, because as you say, he has all this natural ability. Um, I think he’s a long way off the pace, Kevin. Um, and if they had to carry him, ah, continue to carry him for him to learn the game then I think that it may become counterproductive to have Izzy Folau on your list. I think that you’ll see, you’ll edge towards being ridiculed for running around with Izzy Folau. And that’s the last thing the Giants want.

Glenn McGrath World Cup MVP Alert: Note how Putz got sheepish when asked to put his credibility on the line and make a prediction of whether Folau will eventually make it in AFL. Another example of why Putz won’t give a final eight prediction unlike former player Daniel Harfboots who later in the day gave his eight seemingly to elicit a furore from Kangas fans.

As talkback begins Putz continues to tell us what we all know about Folau not being in their best twenty-two. He adds: “There will come a stage where you’ve gotta make a decision where is the promotion and marketing worth carrying Izzy any longer? And that’s going to happen.” … Jim Stynes gets thrown up as an example of a greenhorn with not much of a clue at the beginning of his career and Putz counters that by referring to Jim being sent to Prahran to learn the game.

Putz: This is a boy learning the game as an AFL player on a million dollars. (Value already recouped in marketing and sponsor advertising)
Caller: You’ve got take the million dollars ahead of it though. That’s the thing [sic].

Putz: Well, I don’t thing you can. I don’t think you can take the million dollars out of it.
KB: He’s not being paid to play for a million dollars.

Putz: Yes he is. That is a ridiculous thing to say.
KB: No it’s not. He probably $150,000 to play, like a lot of those kids are and then the rest of the money is being made up because he’s the face – he’s the promotional face – of that team.

Putz: So if we’d offered him um; if he’s not playing for a million dollars, Kevin, if we’d offered him $150,000, would he have swapped codes? (Hmmm, a “we” appearance!)
KB: No he would of not swapped codes.

Putz: Why’s that, Kevin? Because he wants the million dollars? Because he said he wants the million dollars. He said “that’s why I’m playing.”
KB: So he should, so he should if he’s going to be the face of the sport and the code.

Putz: Kevin, don’t say he’s not playing for a million dollars; that’s the only reason he’s with Greater western Sydney and the Giants because he’s being paid a million dollars to play. (Groundbreaking stuff this)
KB: You’ve got to separate the two things – the promotional and the playing.
Putz: No you don’t, that’s gibberish.

Callers make arguments on why Putz is harsh and ole Grumpy keeps restating his original argument of GWS playing with seventeen men while Folau may not improve while making a million dollars, which may inevitably tarnish the Giants image. “A million dollar man running around without a clue.” Smith is now parroting the seventeen man mantra ad nauseam. … Smith now hammers everyone involved with the Saturday night game: commentators (“disgraceful”), Bret Kirk (“he shouldn’t be in the media”), Cameron Ling (needs to be told he’s retired), the pre-match speech being shown, and the attendance figure. The great BT got a pummelling too.:mad:

Smith moves on to Billy Slater calling him the best footballer in the country which is a statement that when said literally requires clarification, as Slater doesn’t play Australian Rules football or rugby union. An irate caller possibly wearing tinfoil on his head lays into Putz for stating the bleating obvious and having a secret agenda with the rugby people (you know what he means) and also that Slater should be referred to as the best rugby player in Australia. Putz’s comeback is, well, schoolyard predictable: “He’s not the best rugby player. That’s a silly thing to say. He doesn’t even play it. He plays rugby league.”:rolleyes: Smith also gets challenged for not supporting footy and the GWS venture and he argues that he doesn’t have to be a cheerleader for GWS and he defends his right to be critical. Yep, like a hip hop music critic critiquing a hard rock album.

KB and Putz continue to butt heads on Folau and the journo continues to claim he’s being misrepresented:

KB: Are you suggesting that’s the worst game ever played in AFL football, [Putz]? By Izzy Folau.
Putz: No.

KB: Well you said he was walking across the ground saying hello to people. So he must be up there.
Putz: What I’m saying, Kevin, is that you keep misrepresenting and peddling the wrong; what I didn’t say-

KB: Only repeating what you’ve written in the Australian.
Putz: And that was that they played with seventeen men, with Izzy Folau. That’s what I wrote.

KB: So that makes it the worst game ever played?
Putz: No, I wouldn’t have thought it’s the worst game ever played. But nonetheless there will come a tipping point where he either succeeds – which I really hope he does, and I hope he’s a successful player for Greater Western Sydney – but there will be a tipping point where his marketing value starts to leak against his playing ability, and what his playing ability brings to the club. … At the moment it’s all in favour of his marketing but there will be a tipping point and that’s gonna be a tough call for the club.

Caller commends the Melbourne Storm for playing the most entertaining and “exciting brand of rugby,” but Mr. Perfect Putz in agreeing “absolutely” forgets to correct this bloke that the Storm doesn’t play rugby they play rugby league.;) … Whoa, BT gets yet another whack from Putz for trying to be too clever instead of knowledgeable. … Putz still seems fixated on Folau getting a million dollars and not performing which segues to the inevitable pro sports marketing expert calling in who thinks it’s just a bad, bad move for the AFL to just get a rugby recruit (no correction from Putz) bring him into the AFL and turn him into a star and think they’re gonna get people through the gates just because they’ve got one bloke from rugby (still no correction) who was an up-and-coming star, when there are so many young kids that have learnt the game and Karmichael Hunt is not a good investment either. He says he wouldn’t do that. Plenty of players that have played in the SANFL and WAFL that you can invest in because they have bigger bodies (than Folau?) and you’d get far better investment out of those players. Oh boy. Not surprisingly this clueless twit says he totally agrees with Putz Smith.

Next caller, Jason brings the Sen Mensa Talkback Society back from being in the depths of disrepute by setting the record straight on Folau and why the AFL has recruited him. KB finishes off the hour by accusing of Putz being grumpy and negative on the first game of the year. Putz blathers about being misrepresented.

Israel Folau isn’t in St. Kevin’s best twenty-two.
-Putz Smith

From the Archaic Scriptures in the SEN SMITHsonian

The Smith Pro Sports Business files on March 13, 2012:
“I think the Tiger era is over and I think the American broadcasters have been slow to realize that the new star is Rory Mcllroy who’s nearly every bit as exciting as Tiger was as he started up his career. So I think as Tiger falls away, and his body seems to be giving up, I think we’ve got a brand new star in Rory Mcllroy and golf will blossom.”



KB informs Putz that Tiger is back after he won his 7th Bay Hill title but Putz isn’t sure he just quite yet back. He then says there have been seventy-one different winners on the PGA Tour since Tiger last won a tournament, and he thinks that a fascinating stat. KB is bullish that Woods is definitely back. No mention though of the effect that the no-name thirty-seven first time winners had on Tiger-less US TV ratings.

Re: The SEN Thread 9

i have no idea what you guys are going on about with this sheedy thing.
If you saw the game last weekend, they showed his prematch address. He spoke normally and raised his voice at what seemed like random times to emphasise it.

So they wanted callers to ring in and do Sheedy impersonations by just speaking about normal things and yell at random times.

Only one caller got the idea of what the segment was about though.
