"Hey bloke...listen are you sure you weren't there when Blighty was there...I...I...I could of sworn you were? I'm sorry I've woken you Brendan, it's imperitaive we get the story straight...."

Shut up Maher!

Did you hear his immediate response to that? "The research boys dropped the ball on that one." I couldn't believe it. Screwed up massively, embarrassingly, then instead of deflecting the damage with a gag and with soem class, he blames someone else. And he's still on air.

I have to say though, I did like the whole pressure point, Mr Spock thing they did with him getting knocked out over and over. On a lot of levels.

I think Andrew Maher has said the word "bloke" more than everyone who's ever existed, ever. What a bogan.

But I was talking about him a few weeks ago with my dad, who raised an interesting point. What he said was that in a field dominated by ex-footy players, a guy who knows television (and radio) and how the medium works, can really take the pressure off everyone else, allowing them to only have to concentrate on talking footy (or comedy in the case of Before the Bounce). If he's hosting, it means that Hughesy or Malcolm Blight or whoever isn't.

I assume this is why he's still in the job, considering he doesn't know squat about anything else. Makes sense to me.

It's not just hat he says bloke. It's that he says bllllawuk.

I can tell you that your Dad's point is dead-set exactly right. The show used to be hosted by Heliar, I think. Or I think it was swapped between the panelists. They changed the format, I'm pretty sure, because Radar would have been contracted, and they needed a place to put him that was a bit less annoying and embarrassing for channel ten than match-day in the box. Even as boundary rider the only entertainment or interest he offered was by jumping in and saying "career over!" as soon as a player got a cramp, or by freezing his ass off at Kardinia park much to the amusement of Commetti.

There's a reason he gets moved around. He's an embarrassment wherever he goes. What I just don't get is how he got the job of host in the first place. What organisation would want that face, voice, identity to represent them? Why?!!! Did he get an audition? Did they even look at him? I'm going to assume he was commenting in the VFL or something before he went to the AFL. Maybe they're looking for the next Eddie?

I know for a fact that the stations are struggling at the moment for good screen hosts. They turn to meatheads like Dermie and Crawf because they can't all be Jules Lund types who go from show to show and strike gold every time. In some of these shows cases (non football ones) they audition 40 people, and get nuthin'.

Guys like Brayshaw and Lyon, who are former sportspeople who know how to host, are in short supply, it seems.

I'd like them to look beyond the usual places. Maybe cross sports. I applaud the idea of having hosts and trained screen professionals hold it all together, I think that's the way to go, but gets someone at least HALF decent, who doesn't sound like he's from the back of Bourke, and look like a 70s Korean communicatins officer.

oh, where do I start? As the Dees have mostly been on Fox (another story, but not for here) this year, I've been appalled when, like on saturday when I decided to watch Coll v. Adelaide, they have a couple of clowns on the boundary -- not sure who they are or what they've got to do w. football but they're unprofessional a la Ricky Olarenshaw. & why do they insist on giving us shots from the Space Station? One minute you're seeing a player on the wing & then they're on the moon!

A. Maher has one of the worst voices in electronic media. Does he still introduce interviewees on SEN as "Welcome great man"? (then throw to some B-grader?)

Sure does!

Yes he gets the stutters during interviews when he gets excited. Particularly on Radio!!

"Tool of the Year"

the tools on the boundary line or boundary riders are one step away from commentating... the blonde idiot is mark howard or howie.. he is a nsw import that must have pi$$ed someone off north of the border... he will always interview dale thomas and lesser likes.... he is proof that you dont have to have talent!!

andrew maher - no wonder sen is so poor in the ratings!! this bloke is a fool of the highest order... talks about his days at marcellin or wherever he bluffed his way through....

outstanding is a common word...

the great man - anyone is great compared to you, so that is not saying much..

how about fascinating??
