I think you're underestimating Hutchison. What he knows about football is how to make radio and television programs which entertain. He plays the antagonist to ensure the three others have something to "bounce" off. I think you'll find that everything he does and says is about creating frisson, not about being factual or informed. He leaves the "genuine" opinions to the other three panelists. 

Spot on. He will create friction if things are getting dull or slow. He cares not if he is lampooned or attacked.

He's a very astute performer.

    In fact, watch the closing credits at the end. Every episode he does something physical purely for the cameras. He might throw his pen in the air, lean over the table or pick up his running sheet. It's all highly disciplined to make sure that there is something for the camera to see rather than an otherwise static desk with four panelists impersonating Easter Island statues.

    There are so many anal retentive's here, myself included. I cringe when I see bad grammar then I go and do it myself. We are in such a hurry to get our thoughts out there that sometimes we make mistakes. It is important to laugh, especially when we stuff up whilst correcting others. Guilty as charged your worship!

    An errant " 's ", ManDee!  I expected better of a fellow self-proclaimed grammar Nazi, especially after our discussion about this very issue on another thread. Tsk tsk.

    I reckon Ken Hinkley might well be up for grabs at the end of the year, i can easily see Richmond, Collingwood, Port and Brisbane all sacking their coaches before the year is out.

    Who'd want Hinkley if he was sacked at this point though? From the outside, he seems to lack a B Plan.

    Seems that way doesn't it

    Port play flat out. Maybe the list is just mentally and physically spent. 

    Interesting times. I like Ken but the heat is on him now...

    The guy in front of me ordered a 72.

    There was no 72 on the menu, so he explained it was a 69 with 3 fingers up.........   Can we say that here?

    PS:- True story. At a Chinese restaurant in Bridge Rd. I think it was after a Melbourne V Richmond match in the late 70's- Was that you?

    I have an amusing story regarding the Phuk Dat restaurant in Springvale  -  perhaps another time.

    Not sure if I've posted this before and most certainly our astute football media have not picked it up yet but here goes my theory on Ken. It's only a theory and may or may not be correct.

    I believe Phil Walsh was a big loss to Port when he went to the Crows and his replacement, Michael Voss has not filled the void.

    Ken has had 2 strong deputies Walsh and Alan Richardson before him. Voss was a great player but doesn't have the football acumen and experience of these other 2 men.

    Hinkley needs strong support, I'm not sure he is the master coach some were touting him as.

  • Quote

    Michael Voss for Phil Walsh is as far from equitable replacement as it gets. We're talking about the coach who revivified Adelaide in half a season, versus the guy who set the Lions on a collision course with mediocrity. Leppa's just finishing the job Voss started.

    She knows the game alot better then Hutchy. I find i can listen to her better then him who seriously has no idea whats going on. I put him in the same class as Sam Mclure who tipped us this year for the wooden spoon.

    Both have no [censored] idea.

    I would say she knows a lot about football politics rather than the game itself, same goes for Hutchy.

    I do not see Leppa getting sacked, not this year anyway, nor do i see the Tiges sacking Hardwick, they would bring so much more bad press on themselves if they sacked him just after singing him for 3 more years.  Not sure about Hinkley, he has the cattle just cant get them to the milking shed.  FIGJAM is FUBAR

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
