Is Dermott Brereton the biggest flog on tv?

And Shane Crawford because I'm not crazy about short people. Randy Newman sang it best 'Short people have got no reason to live' Plus his wacky persona wears a little thin. And he's short.

Pretty sure that song was a satire on racism, and not to be taken seriously.

Was said to be written about Irving Azoff, aka "the poison dwarf"... one of the most powerful people in the music biz, manages The Eagles, Steely Dan and many, many more.

Whether you like or dislike Judd as a player, I've found him interesting to listen to when he's on the panel of footy shows (as opp to TFS). I think he's been on FC and TF. Pretty sharp understanding of the game and where he thinks it's going.

Could be good for special comments on match day.

Those who live on the west coast know how painful Basil has been for many years and now those on the east coast are starting to get more exposure to him.  Agree with others though on Crawford, great player but plays the idiot far to much and one of the main reasons I no longer watch TFS

Robbo wins the title for me. Not because he's significantly worse than the rest, but because his role at the HS should demand someone of much greater quality.

I can only assume that he is one of those people who 'fails up'.

Edit: oh and also the Jesse Hogan interview last year. He was CLEARLY inebriated.

It's a difficult decision. So many footy media people are awful in their own special ways.

I find the Nosy Vicar and the Domesticated Walrus equally annoying. I am fortunate enough to rarely experience the rest, but most of the time when I do notice them I hope to not notice them again for a while.

Footy media at the moment is a liability to the game.

Yes he is one of them. But there are so many. Where do I start? Dwayne, BT, Sam, Brayshaw, Hutchison, Eddie. But surely Sam is number one! At least Dermie says some informed things about footy sometimes in between preening and polishing himself.

The guy is very intelligent. It would be beneath him to work with any of the neanderthals commentating football these days.

Good article by Juddy in the Age today using the Dees as an example of game innovation and attacking footy.

McClure?  Definitely up there, but don't think he's number one.  (nb. I'm presuming you meant Newman, but thought the bloke I mentioned shouldn't go unnoticed).

To answer the OP, I think there are far too many in this category to pick just one.  For a start, I don't think there are any journalists that I can stomach listening to & watching (namely Slobbo, his little lap dog Ralph, McClure, Wilson, Fwit Stevens & Purple, I'm sur there are others).

Of the ex-players, Darcy is up there with the best, along with Der-wayne, Brereton.

Non ex-players like Basil, Brayshaw, McGuire, the CEOs brother, etc.

It is far too difficult to pick just one.  Give me Bruce, Dennis, Lingy and Richo for every game.  Bruce gets carried away at times, especially with some individuals, but probably no more than what I do with Tyson and Hogan!

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
