Radio The SEN Thread 7

[Daytripper]

Just something for Matty Granland.

Love your work as a play by play announcer on the AFL. Clear and accurate and doesn't go over the top (unlike his colleague Anthony Hudson who is calling more and more like Rex Hunt every day - but that's another matter).

However, one point. Matt is filling in for Andrew Maher on MG the last few weeks. MG is supposed to be a lighthearted show and it has worked well the last year particularly the chemistry between Watson, Maher & Gaze.

But, the last few weeks have been disappointing. Granland seems to take every subject so, so seriously and it seems to me that Watson and whoever else is the co-host have to work extra hard to get some light banter out of him. Now I'm not wanting Matt to go completely OTT and be a buffoon like Brainless used to be but he needs to find the right balance for this type of show. In other words, he has to be flexible.

Otherwise I'm afraid Matt will always find himself hosting those afternoon Saturday and Sunday non AFL weekends for the rest of his career.

The show is improved with Granlands appearance, instead of Maher.

Granland gives the show some sense of credibility - Hope Maher disappears in India.

Did I Just hear Billy from Heidelberg/Inverloch?
The Guy who keeps calling people duds.

No I Haven't heard from him in a while

 

[jinny1]

[ThePezDispenser]

Harf: Hale to the Hawks could go through this afternoon, he's just doing a physical with them.

Rita: Oh God I hope he fails.

Harf: It's believe the Hawks have trumped Melbourne's offer for him.

Rita: You say 'trumped' like we have won out of this

Chuck: Maybe instead of a physical they should show them highlights of Hale's last 20 games to help make a decision.

haha i missed this. But pure comedy. As annoying as Rita can be she has her moments

 

[Hodgepodge]

I liked Jason Richardson's "Glass" last Monday where he tsk tsked about the lack of coverage of the Hawaiian Ironman in the Melbourne print media.

Just a tad too much irony coming from AFLEN.

Yeah I heard him as well. First time in a long while. I thought he had turned into Ray from Werribee, the Richmond supporter that rings up SEN after 12 every night.

Imagine Billy from Inverloch and Ray from Werribee having a conversation together.

a show hosted by richo and watson would be hilariously bad.

say the topic is cricket. watson would bring it back to footy. richo to athletics.

 

[Hawthorn United]

I think they did have a showdown once on SEN. Ray's the ultimate Richmond optimist and Billy was calling everyone a dud. So lots of bagging one another when they came on.

 

[red+black]

I think Billy decided to take his dud this, dud that over to Sport 927. I was listening one morning and heard Billy on there and I got the impression that he was a regular.

Yeah that happened. Also many times they followed eachother and bagged the previous statements.

 

[jonesy86]

After all these years KB finally didn't have to doctor his phantom race call of a major race.

He had 1st, 2nd and 4th in correct places and the horse he had 3rd ran top 6 aswell IIRC.

 

[royboy2]

Yeah he is on there pretty much every day, Tony Jones & Michael Christian take every chance to pot him and it all goes straight over his head

 

[My North]

What about Jim from Hawthorn, ringing up SEN 1116 and every other radio staton

 

[jinny1]

jim from hawthorn and Mark from Bacchus Marsh dont really like each other

 

[Jaymin]

After Richmond were 0-8 or whatever Ray rang up saying that he didn't want them to win a game for the season as it would give the fans false hope.

I think Ray is Barnzy

I heard it. It was more people ringing up saying how much they hated the pies. It was all in good fun.
