Titus O'Reily on Podcast

Titus should be running The AFL

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

 

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

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

Love that avatar - great work.

Titus O'Reilly is about as funny as leprosy.

Just a wannabe Leaping Larry.

Honestly, what a crap post

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

lmao

Hope it went in Scullys mouth the little rat

 

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.

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

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

 

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.

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!

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
