New Fox Footy line ups

[Gorgoroth 12,920]

Seems the new Fox Footy line up on 360 means I'll be watching a lot less

 

also on the couch gets poorer.

like the sound of the other show with Jake Niall and Sarah Jones

What a pity we won't get to hear Roosy repeat the same old rhetoric week, after week, after fkn week.

Buckley and Scott on Monday nights..... Suddenly MKR looks pretty good.

[rjay 24,852]

That's one less show I have to bother about watching now...

More about Heppell than Roos....the Robbo influence. Probably run it's race now.

[SaberFang 7,151]

No great fan of Roosy's diplomatic waffle but Scott isn't much of an improvement. 

Heppell is just an insufferable choice, tempered only by the fact that Goddard was ten times worse.

[3Dee 1,153]

Buckley suprised me, he's good. Lake should be interesting.

This.

Brian lake.. you have got to be [censored] kidding me.

[Gorgoroth 12,920]

I like Buckley, Scott can be OK or a complete whinger.

Stuff Heppel, Lake might be ok but I'll not know.

[Gator 17,261]

Not having Roos instantly improves Monday nights.

[What 18,810]

umm Dyson Heppell... are you kidding me....

I wonder if Lance Armstrong does cycling commentary?

[DubDee 25,530]

so you can be banned from a sport for taking drugs and then make money off it in the media while you are banned?   wtf

[Gorgoroth 12,920]

I'd laugh if at years end he was told he couldn't and got rubbed out for another year...

 

actually, that's a bit harsh...

 

but funny.

this is the afl, where the sky is green and the grass is red

[Its Time for Another 4,187]

It's hard to understand how this show is the premier AFL show for Fox Sports who have poured so much money into getting the tv rights. Don't mind Whateley although he has the personality of a wet rag. Robinson, seriously is just an idiot. I really have no interest in anything he has to say.

Like others mind blown that out of 760 odd players you would pick a player who is serving a suspension for drug cheating. Pick a player, any player from 17 teams other than someone from that Club. Blows my mind. 

Doesn't really effect me as other than watching Roosy I don't watch that show anymore anyway. I'd rather read this site.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Seriously, what the [censored] is Heppell meant to even talk about? He isn't allowed near the club, all he can offer is an insight into what it's like to be a banned drug cheat. And guess what, nobody gives a [censored]! Much less hearing about it for 30-odd weeks straight!

They overlooked the Golden Boy a seat back on the couch?

I bet he appeals it.

[beelzebub 23,313]

Don't watch. No loss

Thought Robbo would have replace Whateley with Hird!

[chook fowler 19,444]

Gave up on that show last year. Even more reason not to watch from here on in. It has become a rest home for the alcohol affected, drug abusers or the concussed.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

I certainly won't be watching.

I will say that I didn't mind Roosy, as opposed to others, as he was able to defend the club and keep it totally out of the mud when we were atrocious.  His ability to give answers that didn't put our club in the shite was excellent.

[Gator 17,261]

Heppell will be a Mark Robinson initiative, because he's a card carrying Bomber supporter, who was anything but balanced during the peptides saga.

Not really... Remember the 'veil of negativity' comments, which forced the club into a double-twisting-backflip clarification as to whether it was the supporters or the club at fault? (It was the whinging fans in the end). 

That was terrible PR from PR.

Fair point, although that was once.

I still felt as though he was able to go out on that program of a Monday night and minimize the damage a little, particularly in his first year.  He was terrific at being concise while also giving an answer that didn't really address too much of what was going on.  Sometimes I thought we might get crucified by the media but, on occasion, he helped to keep that to a minimum.

[P-man 13,366]

The only part of that lineup that holds any genuine interest is Buckley who's always worth listening to. The other saving grace is that they have chosen the slightly more tolerable Scott brother.

Laughed out loud seeing Riewoldt's name. It seems that self imposed media ban has well and truly been turned on its head. Will be worth watching when Richmond's season inevitably falls short of expectation.

Monday night is the most important night, and Roosy was terrible. I can't recall one interesting thing he said in two years. Heppell on Thursdays is an absolute disgrace but overall I think they've improved the lineup. I can't quite put my finger on it but there's just something about this show that I love. Looking forward to its return.
