Titus O'Reily on Podcast

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

is he really a demon's supporter?

Yes.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I love Titus O'Reily, but he is much better in print than on radio and I found that difficult to listen to simply because he got a lot of facts wrong.

[Sir Why You Little 37,341]

Titus should be running The AFL

Still waiting for Dill to respond to The Jake Carlisle Video career....

[Deestroy All 14,266]

I wonder if he ever posts on here, or does he have one of those 'life" things people keep telling me to get.

[3Dee 1,153]

Titus is a master, his twitter commentary during games is on point. Could only be a Melbourne supporter!

Love that avatar - great work.

[Moonshadow 17,678]

Titus O'Reilly is about as funny as leprosy.

Just a wannabe Leaping Larry.

Honestly, what a crap post

[What 18,810]

Max Gawn spewing up on Tom Scully bed takes the cake for me.

lmao

Hope it went in Scullys mouth the little rat

[Tony Tea 2,816]

Titus and Larry are both excellent. Titus also does a podcast with Sergio Paradise, which is well worth your 20-odd minutes.

[Grapeviney 9,913]

I liked his take on Roos and Goodwin's presentation to Jesse Hogan about the future of the MFC - that it consisted of a picture of Jesse Hogan.

[Mach5 4,768]

It's so banal, so predictable

Christ! And you think Leaping Larry isn't?!

Wonders never cease...

I'm sure he was just as excited like the rest of us were about the NAB Challenge fixture being announced.

Not in the slightest about Leaping Larry, no. With Titus it's just predictable joke after predictable joke.

Some of his most recent work;

"This shooting at the home of the Racing Victoria chief steward makes me wonder if racing isn't as squeaky clean as I'd always believed"

and

"I bet Jake Carlisle rues the day Josh Bootsma invented snapchat"

and

"Jake Melksham now officially a Demon. Breaks the 2016 premiership race wide open".

Just find his schtick obvious and unimaginative. But it would be a boring world if everyone had the same sense of humour so each to their own!

I thought his quote during trade week of "GW$ just dropping off some rubbish at Carlton" with a picture inside a waste disposal factory was absolutely hilarious....!

That's great, as I said different strokes for different folks!

I heard that too, that's why this was so interesting to hear. The two hosts are comedians and joke all the way through, but there's clear gags made, it's not satire like Titus' writings. They were asking his perspective as a Dees supporter and they got talking about 'the past'.

I'm a regular listener of Junktime it'd easily the best AFL podcast going round and is probably the best football show period. The two hosts used to write for Before The Game if I'm not mistaken and do well without a network censoring them.

The podcast with Titus was great, he completely encapsulated for other listeners what it has been like being a Melbourne supporter for the last decade. Nothing new for those of us who have lived through it (and I couldn't believe he got some dates wrong like the 186 game being in 2009 and the draft years though I guess that shows not all supporters are as maniacal as those of us here) but still a shock to hear it anf hear the reactions of those who haven't been in the bunker with us. The Carlton supporter said he was interested as a supporter of a club about to go through the same horror...

[Sir Why You Little 37,341]

Sure, http://junktimeafl.libsyn.com/

Titus talking about being a Demon is so right....

[Whispering_Jack 31,267]

As much as people loathed Neeld as a coach, he did recognized those player traits when he took over. He can be blamed for a lot of things but he can't be accused for continuing that culture. He tried to change it and change it quick by moving on Maloney, Morton and co. You can imagine the bitching and sniping that would have gone on during his time. Would have been a horrible place to be in.

You could go further than that and add that Neeld was buried as a coach because he recognised the lack of fitness and the poor culture and tried to change it. The effect was that he was a lame duck from the very beginning.

Felt a bit the same. He also went overboard in how bad things are now. The "not trying" thing is outdated, and we did finish 13th. You can't still be deplorable and have five teams finish below you.

But he conveyed the misery of being a Demons supporter pretty much spot on and it didn't alter my opinion of him. He's a top shelf football satirist with an extremely sharp mind.

[Yossarian 1,820]

I find him amusing, but am over everything he writes about being negative. Think he's found his shtick and is rolling with it.

I know Leapster-and I agree with you.

But he has his moments of genuine humour.

The scripted stuff is dull.

[Dee-Nee 91]

I know Leapster ... I known Titus .. I wish we were all so well connected.

[Biffen 12,949]

You need to drink at the wrong bars to attain such lofty status.

[John Demonic 5,928]

Junktime is exceptional satire for those of us who are more football nerds than football meatheads, and view the self-important seriousness of footy culture with a bit of humor in need of some mockery to lighten things up a bit. They're the Chasers of footy podcasts. But they need to actually blend a bit more football information with the comedy, that's kind of why i prefer superfooty podcast for the sheer amount of topics they go through and Huddo is a likeable professional. Still a bit of humour mixed in but they're a bit sooky and arrogant (news limited influence) so it also has its faults.

[Little Goffy 14,791]

Every once in a while Titus O'Reily delivers something brilliant, which is a welcome relief from the drudgery of AFL media in general.

Mostly he just drops in a steady flow of routine humour on the basis of a 'lovingly jaded' attitude. Which is also actually kind of refreshing given the AFL media mainstream.

Important thing to understand is that his main space is twitter, so his job isn't to make you rofl or even lol, just add a little smirk as you flick through all the other dross.

He's only asking for half a second, don't expect too much back!
