The SEN Thread 4

[treeman]

i hope that hutchy likes bp as it seems hutchy has taken over or owns all night sport now.bp got rid of mark franklin but hutchy has must like him as franko is back on now. hutchy looks as if he is going to do what lazy tony shibecci did and put all his mates on. they said that hutchys personal fitness trainer now is on all night sport on thursdays and the person that does hutchys website is on also each week now.
maybe hutchys mother or cousins will be on soon it could be called all night hutchy soon

BP didn't get rid of Franka it was SEN management.
Hutchy is managing All Night Sports but at least it is likely to me it sticks around.

Which is 3 more pages than Watson and Maher do.

Watson and Maher get their sports information off the internet like most other people these days. They are generally in touch with world sport. I'd be very worried about any sports presenter who gets their information from the local paper.

No offence, but comparing Maher to Brownless is ridiculous in my opinion. And Watson (although not great)at least knows a little NFL and Euro soccer.

I thought you said you seldom listen to the show...

I do listen. The number of times Billy is able to comment of news items that Andy and Tim don't know much about is impressive. I'm not saying he says intelligent things to say mind you...

That would indeed be because he is clearly reading it straight out of the morning paper...

I'm not really a Billy fan, but you are selling Andy Maher way too high here. You know what you will get if you watch or listen to Billy. Andy tries way too hard to be the blokey sports guy, evidenced by his continual use of the term "you blokes", and then in the next minute attempting to use bigger complicated words. Love or hate him, Billy acts pretty true to his personality.

What, so a quasi intellectual sports guy can't be blokey as well ?

Without Maher that show would be dead and buried. I actually don't know what they would talk about for 30 minutes, let alone 3 hours.

You are right, I know what I will get with Billy. And its crap. Its been crap for over 3 years.

Why should we have to put up with mediocrity when we heard how good it would be with Turfy a few weeks ago. Turf would be around 1/2 the price as well I would imagine.

Get Bill out of the media and let him run his pubs. We don't need these dinosaurs any more.

It just goes to show how blokey and chummy it is at SEN - there are programs that could clearly be improved (and save the station money at the same time) such as Dorans show and MG, but the hard decisions arent made cos they are too matey.

He can be blokey sure, but his blokey-ness comes and goes, its not consistent.

 

[Dasher39]

Daytripper = Andy Maher?

It's the only possible explanation I can come up with as to why he talks him up so much. MG would not be dead without Andy Maher. Look when Dr Turf and Richo took over for that week. The whole show improved out of sight.

Andy keeps the current group together, but the current group are worse than useless.

Andy and Tim might get their information from reading the internet, too bad the only site they visit is www.afl.com.au. Get some hosts in with actual knowledge of a number of sports and someone with a great personality and the show would be so much better.

Dr Turf and Richo are the way to go!

Thats what I'm basically referring to.

At least Andy and Tim can talk about soccer and US sports without embarassing themselves.

Dr Turf and Richo are the way to go!

Agree.

they'd talk about afl for the entire show.

lucky bill's segment on a superdraft only extends to number 10.

 

[pepsi]

I wonder how much $$ SEN would save by having Dr Turf and Richo on TMG instead of the current crew?

 

[ben.carbonaro]

I don't work at SYN, I just listen to that footy show and was asking ben a few questions.

Thanks.

Mark Allen said, while on KBs show yesterday, that if Greg Norman wins the British Open, he will marry Trish. KB has repeatedly taken the mickey out of Allen for not marrying the girl with whom he has a child.
Norman is a shot back. I would expect that Mark Allen is a tad nervous at the moment.

 

[stmookeyj]

He'd be crapping himself now that he's 2 in front.

 

[Manbearpig]

He'd be crapping himself now that he's 2 in front.

I heard Richo and Harf talking to Marko about it this morning.

Marko is already engaged, but what he said was he'd marry Trish in the SEN studio if the Shark gets up. KB ribs him all the time about not being married yet.

Dylan Howard now hosting All Night Sport, for tonight at least.

Didn't realise him and Hutchy were mates. Makes a bit of sense really

I think he will be ongoing.

 

[w00dy]

he must be over searching bins and gutters for his next scoop, and settled for night time radio...

 

[ben.carbonaro]

I am wondering how he will take to my netball preview.

 

[pepsi]

Interesting start, can't judge him yet on 40 minutes. But there is also some guy on from an afl internet site. ANS has officially become the Craig Hutchison and friends show.

He bought the 12-6AM slot so that would make sense.

Really? That is weird, buying a midnight to dawn shift on a radio station, wonder how much SEN are getting out of that deal. And I wonder what are the benefits to Hutchison for purchasing the time slot? Hope BP stays around, smooth operator and could easily slot into more daytime roles on SEN.

 

[SJ]

How many more times do they have to promote footyheads.com?

The eternally mentally-deficient Billy from West Heidelberg is on now, crapping on about Essendon whingers

The vast vast majority of Essendon supporters did not have an issue with Joel Bowden.

My satisfaction is that Billy has to live with his mental condition.

 

[Daytripper]

I am wondering how he will take to my netball preview.

The same way the majority of us do, I guess.
