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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Thought Robbo would have replace Whateley with Hird!

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.

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.

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.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
