Steve from Mitcham has been banned for 3 months by Peaky after trolling Collingwood, before he got cut-off he mentioned blow-hard Mcguire, and with 7 second delay, we didn't hear the really offensive comment ...

Stephen J Peake embarrassing himself defending scarlett

It has to be all an act, no one could possibly be this much of a f**kwit.


And Steve from Mitcham banned for 3 months. SEN are a bit of a joke for letting him on at all. Should have been banned for good a long time ago.

Steve from Mitcham is pathologically obsessed with all things Collingwood and Eddie. Jim from Hawthorn is his second obsession.
Makes silly references to Jim being a Celtic fan, poor Stevie follows Rangers

Re: The SEN Thread 9

i reckon sen knows these callers (wannabe celebs) are nutjobs. they know they're 1 second away from an offensive comment, but love them cause it causes controversy and creates comment.

 

[Magpies B2B]

Re: The SEN Thread 9

I really hate it when callers main subject is complaining about the umpiring.

Also, do people prefer triple headers (early game, twilight and night game) with not much of pre game and post game or traditional double headers (afternoon game and night game) with pre game and post game? Depending on the games I prefer the double headers just get more banter.

I'm amazed he kept going as long as he did... Cracked up when he started quizzing the old fella about saints history just to prove he knew more than him!

Not much to it, she just had a go at Robbo for what he said about Geelong in the Tackle today. She said the only thing he got right was that they were stupid. The funniest thing was that she said Geelong never intimated sides in their premierships years.

Hungry for Not Much​

Lousy Take … Lousy Mensa Talkback Society whining about umpiring … Melbourne Football club doesn’t have a single star … Absolutely NO boasting about footy tipping expertise … Disgruntled Dees fan uses unfortunate phrase of words by suggesting their was no “venom” after four years of Dean Bailey which would have been music to the ears of Lions-tipping Grunk “Venom” Denham … Harsh, harsh talkback as the Demons go into the talkback trash can.

More griping about anything to gripe about. Hang on kids, the carbon tax you voted for to save the world from Hayden Ballantyne and Andrew Bolt is almost here!

Guus of the Week: Craig Williams (Jockey)
Goose of the Week: Denis Napthine for funding jumps racing with $2 million dollars.

Melbourne stunk; first 2 hours stunk; will Dr. Turf?

Doc through the towel in at half-time; KB alleges Doc led the booing … Turfy says Dees actually had a crack but they just don’t have the abilities. Grave concerns for depth of the list and no confidence looking down the road. … Can you change clubs with your support? An absolute firm NO from the Doc but it cross his mind on the weekend … Turfy predicts big gulf between top and bottom group of teams. … KB gets challenged by a caller for being “up and about” when he should be devastated over Richmond’s beating:

Kevin Said al-Sahhaf: No I said the other day they were shocking. I thought they had opportunities to grab that game. Dustin Martin had an opportunity to get it back to one point; put Carlton under pressure. Carlton at that stage looked pretty tired to me. …

Woman gripes about mighty mite, Hayden Ballantyne; the Doc sticks up for the best defensive small forward in Australia. Another hard work week for the Doc who is off to the US Masters.

Yeah I did.

But she wasn't as bad as a guy named Ian who rang KB and Harf today and crapped on about handing the Hawks the Premiership Cup now.

Get a life Ian.

Re: The SEN Thread 9

Hungry for a Game Switch on Curmudgeon Tuesday​

Now I’m convinced no Victorian side should play Geelong at Simmonds Stadium. The Cats have a boutique stadium filled with Geelong fans and no room for anyone else. Richmond has every right to jump up and down in wanting their round four clash moved to Etihad stadium that is vacant. And so should all other Melbourne-based teams. With the renovations replacing the Doug Wade Stand only two hundred Tiger barrackers will get in. Why should Richmond fans be deprived to see their team? Carlton, Essendon, and Collingwood don’t make the trip down the highway. This seems to fly in the face of the AFL’s business model of maximising attendances.
I’m KB, that’s my Take

Probably Roebucked by the Pies this week and a loss to Melbourne in round three, Richmond could find themselves facing an 0-4 start on a early Sunday morning in Sleepy Hollow which is no place to be. Seemingly, Brendan Gale mouthpiece – KB – has just discovered this disastrous proposition that may not bode well for the Tigers in the newly created live-against-the-gate TV era of AFL footy. What to do? Whine about it starting with alleged Richmond heart transplant supporter, Putz Smith on Curmudgeon Tuesday.

KB: [Putz], good morning. [Do] you think we should be playing games down at Geelong’s boutique stadium if you’re a side in Melbourne?
Putz: Well you’ve got it off your chest, Kevin, haven’t you?

KB: Yes.
Putz: You realise it’s April 2012?

KB: Yes. Andrew Demetriou is just jumping up and down also about the poor attendances up on the Gold Coast.
Putz: Yes but he’s not jumping up and down about the roster.

KB: Well he should be!
Putz: The fixture’s been out for six months. Richmond’s suddenly discovered round four or something?

KB: Well they couldn’t do anything about it because the fixture is already out.
Putz: Well they’re certainly not gonna do anything about it now, Kevin.

KB: Well they should, they should.
Putz: The time was, Kevin, if Richmond was serious-

KB: Well it’s vacant; Etihad’s vacant.
Putz: Kevin, really, if Richmond was at all serious it should have been discussed when the fixture had come out. To grandstand now for their supporters is pathetic.

KB: No it’s not. No it’s not.

KB rants on and wants know whether Victorian based fans are jack of going down the highway to Geelong and can’t get in. Putz retorts by stating contracts are in place and have to be met as well as Brendon Gale and Richmond having had six months to complain about it. … Putz accuses KB of grandstanding and wants to know why Geelong fans should always be stuck with games against lousy teams. KB’s parroting that Putz should be writing stories about this wrongdoing.

KB: As an investigating journalist you should have been writing stories on this.
Putz: What about? That you’re a whinger?

Both curmudgeons repeat their arguments until KB goes to talkback to garner support for his argument. … Cat fan is disappointed in KB stating that Geelong’s first home game is the round four game where the premiership flag will be unfurled. Putz chimes in with, “Lucky, Richmond will be able to see what it looks like.” … Fan follows up on hotel bookings and planning and if Richmond haven’t done it beforehand it’s their problem. … Putz again: “It’s a non-story; it’s Richmond grandstanding, trying to carry favour with their supporters.”

No support for KB as caller asks about Cats’ fans having to travel to Melbourne. KB repeats his arguments as Putz pounds on his argument him relentlessly. … I’ve made a cup of coffee and the subject has moved to whipping horses. … Agreement reached – that Mark Neeld’s treatment after round one was harsh. Agreement on KB’s argument? Not on your Nelly! … Now briefly on to the re-making of barely 5’8” Hayden Ballantyne as brutal contemporary Nazi concentration camp commander in footy boots.

SMS: You’re pathetic, Kevin, [Putz] is spot on as usual.
SMS: Kevin, as usual you’re wrong, wrong, wrong.
SMS: For once I agree with you, [Putz]. KB has lost the plot.

Gibberish of the Week: The Age journo, Michael Sharkie for his description of the jumps race incident where a horse was euthanised.

Caller Slick from Geelong: Several hundred dollars I pay for a Geelong membership for ten home games. I only get to go to seven of them, the other three are given to Melbourne and you want me to drive up to Melbourne. The inconvenience when I pay for a Geelong membership?
KB: At least you can see your side. That’s better than not seeing your side, don’t you think, Slick?

KB and Putz repeat their arguments. … KB goes out on a limb and nominates Putz for Gibberish of the Week because he said the Carlton and Essendon administrations were so good whereas Richmond isn’t. That, of course, would be the alleged duplicitous Essendon administration that extricated the once black and red heart from Putz’s body. … KB repeats arguments and Putz continues one liners in response. KB finishes the hour by, yes, repeating his argument for Melbourne-based clubs as Putz has all but lost interest.

Yep, all the games on some version of live TV for Richmond fans to see and still there is no pleasing the masses - and especially KB.

Re: The SEN Thread 9

Hungry for Political Correctness​

Now Jason Mifsud can’t continue in his role as the AFL’s Community Engagement Manager. It’s a role that requires the complete trust of everybody. He’s the conduit of the indigenous community in the game and also the face of the indigenous community. The coach in Mark Neeld is distressed and so is his family regarding untrue rumours on the treatment of indigenous players at Melbourne. Allegations not followed up or investigated thoroughly by Mifsud. The AFL and Andrew Demetriou are standing by their man but who will trust Mifsud in the future? Who will engage in conversation and be open? Sadly for Mifsud, not too many.
I’m KB, that’s my Take

Now lay a thick lining of broken glass and sprinkle with egg shells. Throw in a few burning coals for texture and context. And then avoid the whole damn thing so you’re not labelled a “waacist.”

KB said some stuff. LeBaron-Ralph had an opinion. On average six Australians took their own lives today and hundreds found out they have cancer. Apparently worse than that, Neeld is distressed because someone said he spoke to the Aborigine players as a group for whatever particular reason. And an interesting aside is that Mifsud had his resignation declined by Demetriou which means he’s now technically forced to work against his will. That’s involuntary servitude which makes Mr Mifsud a slave. Good indigenous grief!

Straight to eleven o’clock and Stevie boy Salisbury describes baseball just the way it is today. I just wish he’d do his research on franchise purchasing before he blasts off into an erroneous ranting stratosphere. As an expert he can’t have people sending SMS’s suggesting he is talking crap. Glaring omissions by the man from Sacramento. … Must say that the fired up Steve wasn’t happy about those suggestions via SMS that he was talking crap. Seems KB hit a raw nerve. … He then nails the Tiger Woods scenario at the Masters perfectly. … Nails the NCAA/NBA recruitment of players with aplomb. … But Patty Mills has gone 8-11 for twenty points in a Spurs blow-out of the tanking Cavaliers which catches our expert off guard. Gosh, Steve was extra aggressive today. KB finishes by saying he doesn’t know how to Google. Good golly!

Re: The SEN Thread 9

Hungry for Melbourne Stability​

Now the first thing Melbourne has to do today is drop their major sponsor, EnergyWatch. The Dees can’t be involved with CEO, and co-owner, Ben Polis. His social media comments are horrible and despicable. The second thing is to find out who is responsible for the scurrilous attack on their coach, Mark Neeld. They’ve given the all clear to Aaron Davey even though AFL intelligence has fingered him as the man. Mark Neeld can’t be serious in saying it’s not high on his list of priorities. Someone is running around trying to destroy his credibility and integrity, and it’s on the back burner? Give us all a break. Melbourne has no front-of-jumper sponsor; it has to dump EnergyWatch today; the club has to get financial backing from the AFL to cover the shortfall. All this has to be played out with the club and the AFL at loggerheads over who is telling the truth regarding Jason Mifsud’s reading of the situation. And they travel to Perth to play West Coast. Good luck Dees.
I’m KB, that’s my Take

Dees in turmoil on and off the field and who should be on deck with KB this morning but non other than the alleged Dees-hating man of venom, Grunk Denham. If the Grunkster chooses he can verbally hammer the hapless and bumbling football club’s fans to a point where a morning’s scarfing of calamari with Captain Morgan chasers would leave them feeling less ill. Already by this time of the season, blue collar Demons’ fans could well and truly be drowning their miserable sorrows in rum. C’mon, go easy, Grunk.

Of course, Grunk doesn’t really hate the Dees but who am I to spoil the tasty trumped-up narrative. He tentatively starts by saying they’re in turmoil and must dump their sponsor, EnergyWatch. … Ouch, six million sponsorship dollars drown the drain. … Grunk doesn’t like the Dees not dealing with the leak from Melbourne and leaving it unresolved. KB agrees. … Grunk also believes Davey is currently done like a dinner mentally and probably won’t play this week; ramifications left, right, and centre; too many questions and a roundtable discussion is required with all parties.

Off to talkback where commonsense answers will no doubt abound on the Dees issue. Second caller wants to talk about some bike riding dude sending shivers up his spine. The SEN and Tiger legend behind the microphone cuts in and appeases this fool for a moment, then gives him the Houdini, and we’re back on the Dees topic. … Mifsud at serious fault and KB references the next caller to the ninety-three percent of a HUN poll that think Miffy should be drop-punted to the dole queue with Matt Rendell.

KB: I don’t know how he’s going to continue in that roll. I just don’t know how he can possibly continue in his roll.

On to the games and how quickly that winless Blues pre-season evaporated like booze at the journo’s shindig. Grunk sees the Blue boys “well and truly entrenched as a top five team this year.” … Both yakkers tip Carlton to beat Brisbane. … Grunk, like many, chooses his words carefully for the Swans/Dockers prediction: “They’ll nearly beat Sydney again,” which means he’s tipping, um, ah, I nearly don’t nearly know but there you go. KB goes for the Swans. Both predictably tip the Dons over Port. …

Caller Tommy refutes KB and Grunk’s comments about the source having to be outed and Neeld watering it down because he’s sold on Neeld’s get-on-board campaign and Tommy’s also so tired of losing. KB and Grunk don’t wear it and refute the refuter. … Next caller sounds like he’s possibly riding a horse on cobble stones and quickly goes the way of the talkback Houdini. … KB lashes Mifsud again for not doing his job and thus the escalation in drama. Another interruption to my footy hour by some codger flogging some Masters Games. That’s what you get when you allow callers to set the agenda. You get some gripping radio in the form of community sports announcements.

Tip Alert

KB: I think the Tigers can pinch the points.
Grunk: [launches into a coughing fit) Pardon!?

KB: I think they’ve got a good chance. Got a good chance of winning the game.
Grunk: Haven’t you learnt your lesson from last week?

KB: Well you’ve got to look at value. That’s what Dr. Turf always tells me. And I think the Tigers are a value bet. They’re a value bet against Collingwood. (Gibberish of the Week, as KB doesn’t bet)
Grunk: Hmmm, O.K.

KB: [here it comes] Collingwood were very good last week. That was a terrific game last week against Hawthorn. But Richmond’s performance; don’t forget everyone’s jumping up and down about how good Carlton is. They’re gonna still be top four and win the premiership after they defeated the Tigers by forty-four points. But roundabout what, the ten or fifteen minute mark of that last quarter, Dustin Martin kicks a goal from twenty metres out, and they’re one point down, [Grunk]. So their form wasn’t horrible. So I think they’re a chance so I’m tipping the Tigers.
Grunk: It wasn’t that flash! Um, Collingwood will beat Richmond.
[…]

No love for Dees against the Eagles from either SEN turkey talkers … Adelaide to cruise at home but Grunk still has no final eight for the Crows come September. … Another caller drags KB over the coals about his Richmond hyperbole, and, here we go again: “The Tigers were in that game, the ten or fifteen minute mark of that last quarter so all I’m saying is I’m giving them a chance against Collingwood … I think they’re a value bet against the Pies.” …

Hawks, Kangas, and Saints are consensus picks but Grunk sees only a forty-eight point victory for North; KB sees it as more like ninety. … Melbourne topic starting to sputter here as KB cops more grief for his Richmond rhetoric. I’ve said before and I’ll say it - no, let’s hear it from him – again: "But I think the Tigers actually showed they’ve got some spunk there and they fought their way back. I reckon at the ten minute mark or so of the last quarter there would have been a few edgy Carlton fans.” … Grunk predicts an eight goal haul for Buddy Franklin against the Cats. Whoa!

KB gets caller love on what’s turned into the Richmond footy show and KB is using the word “competitive” at Dean Bailey breakneck repetitive speed. … Grunk’s almost had enough of this and rattles of Carlton names that weren’t playing last week. What possible retort can KB come up with?

KB: Yeah, but you’re not factoring in - Jake King wasn’t playing for the Tigers as well.
Grunk: [sarcastically] Ahhhh, no I didn’t either.

Team with most to lose this week according to Grunk is Hawthorn who will be back to square one with another loss to Geelong. … Caller has an argument for Geelong’s successful run at Simmonds Stadium and Grunk reminds all that their current win streak down there is zero. KB throws in the Richmond win in the NAB Cup. And with that KB takes a well earned Easter break.
