Caught the end of Doran's show yesterday.

A caller rang in to comment about how bad the Chelsea players and fans reacted after the Barcelona match, and he said "yeah the FFA may have a look at that..."
 
Hey is that you Stoney ??? (I really enjoy your comments on the VFL BTW)

I agree with you with about Brian Lake, I think he's not an class full back at all, and in fact, I think honestly that he is overrated (certainly I think Dale Morrris is a better defender then him) ...

I made a point that Mark Stone refered to Lake as a battler which is utter drivel. He'd also get a game for Carlton also [Roughead wouldn't have snagged 8 on him]

I wish we had that "battler" in our back line! What a ****wit!
 
man schebecci is the biggest dud presentor/announcer ever, for years i had to listen to him on world sport overnight bluff his way through knowing about various sports and stuffing up when reading out simple scores and headlines.
he did it again today when reading from a simple headline re: troy selwood and rances head collision "Michael Voss has praised JOEL selwood....." i just had to shake my head and lol
ive have heard him stuff up so many times over the simpliest of things...

That's not really showing a lack of knowledge, but just an every day accident that you or I could make. Sometimes you may be thinking of one name but you end up saying a different name. I've been guilty of this many of times, and even when people correct me I have to think to myself "did I really say that?"

I actually find Tony to be a well researched presenter. I don't know how he'd go presenting the station without doing research, but from what I know and have heard of Schebecci he seems to know a fair bit of stuff. There are some presenters who could (probably sometimes even do) turn up to host their show without doing any research and they do a fine job because they really know their stuff (BP and Finey instantly come to mind), but he doesn't have to be at their level to get a gig on the station. Just listen to Doran and it's a perfect example.

To be honest, I never thought much about Schebecci in the WSO days, but he has since grown on me. I don't always agree with his views, but that's what makes him interesting. I recall perhaps two/three years ago he was having a debate with a listener about Richmond, and Tony said, "I'd rather Richmond finish in last position than in eighth position and get knocked out in the finals immediately."

Now everyone knows most teams set themselves the goal of making the finals every year, and most teams will think anything more than that is just a bonus. You play footy to make September and if you miss out it's dark days. But in Tony's eyes he'd rather see his team get the first pick in the draft than have pick fifteen in the draft for finishing runners-up. I don't agree with this view, but it's one of the many things he said that I certainly found interesting.

The best piece of Schebecci magic came when he was trying to teach Billy how to pronounce Brett Deledio. After fifteen minutes, Billy still couldn't say it properly, and he still doesn't pronounce it properly to this day.

Grant Thomas sacked by radio station SEN

Mark Robinson

May 11, 2009 06:23pm

EXCLUSIVE: FORMER St Kilda coach and now commentator, Grant Thomas, has been sensationally sacked by radio station SEN.
Thomas was told late this afternoon by station boss, Barry Quick, that his contract had been terminated because of financial reasons.

It's believed, however, Thomas' constant ridiculing of umpires and the AFL was a concern to league officials and had officials had voiced those concerns to SEN powerbrokers.

SEN is currently in talks with the AFL about their next media deal, which centres around the radio station calling games of football.

Thomas, who is special comments person on match-day and central to the station's preview program on Saturday morning, could not be immediately contacted.

More to come

Un-be-lievable.

If what RUbbo writes there is true, that's a fricken disgrace. The AFL gets a bloke sacked cause he is negative against them... (quite rightly IMO on a number of issues).

What country are we in again?
Is Footy Classified on tonight? If so, will surely be mentioned there.
 
I can't believe they gave Cornflakes the arse, and still retain Mark 'Snoran' on their station ...
They gave the wrong bloke the flick IMHO.

poor poor form of SEN 1116 to sack Grant Thomas.

sen are ****ing soft, all turning into a bunch of yes men and anyone that brings some controversy to the commentary is deemed to be out of line.
barry quick, you are a deadset ****ing squid. firstly for dumping your best host bruce eva 2 years ago and now the best special comments in grant thomas.
here's a tip dribbledick, get rid of mark doran because he's a pinhead with no idea and everyone on this site hates him.
btw, wayne schwass is as boring as batshit too and likes the sound of his own voice too much.
make the right decisions you idiots, you started the year off well by dumping brainless and go and **** it all up by doing this. make the situation right by putting doran on the dole queue.
 
This basically confirms that the AFL have some sort of a stake in SEN. I have been listening to SEN since it began but this really pisses me off. Thomas was great to listen to, voices his opinion and even though I don't always agree with what he says, it makes it very entertaining radio. Big mistake SEN.
 
LOL @ Finey giving it to a real moronic, and chilidsh Geelong supporter called Jim from Keilor ... (he was being a real dick btw, but I had to laugh at Finey's subtle reaction to him, when he could have been far harsher on the dweeb lol)

Remember when you used to be one of them?
 
Just listening to the GBU crew. Obviously they, like all other SEN presenters, have been told to not comment about the Grant Thomas situation. What a disgrace :thumbsdown:. Caller rings in to talk about it, GBU crew almost act as if they hadn't heard the news.

Just announced as a warning to callers, remainder of the show is (and I knew what was coming) a

GRANT THOMAS FREE ZONE

Completely agree with the caller. We should just swamp them.
