AFL 360 - Best Season

Featured Replies

Posted

So I was wrong, when the line up for the season was announced I was thinking the one show I didn't mind 'about' footy would be lost in a giggle for a suspended Essendon player. 

Mark Robinson - while still a nong in many respects, has become much more considered with his questions (maybe better script writers - his print hasn't improved that much) and I find his love of football believable.

I think the research behind the scenes is strong and been well impressed with some of the research.

I think the Demons have been given a fair crack.

People need to get off Gils back I reckon he's thinking about the game long term.

I also think the music editor does a good job fwiw. 

 

How Robbo is allowed on TV is beyond me, i find it very difficult to watch.

I have struggled to watch it after Robbo was gone for a week or more and they mostly had two decent (sober) (coherent) people hosting the show.

I like Robbos passion but his questions at times are cringeworthy.

If they put someone who spoke at a normal pace on the show it would be 40min shorter. Robbo pads it out a bit. That aside i dont think Robbo is really that bad there are many in the media would avoid before him.

I agree RE: music - everything from Gary Numan to The Angels, good stuff. 

At least with Robbo you know what your getting, he wears his heart on his sleeve. Met him a few times and he always takes the time for a chat. Even if he was staggering about in stained tracksuit pants eating a fruit salad to try and sober up 45 mins before the Dees' first game 2015! ;)

When you wake up I think you will find it is all just a dream...

To be fair, I don't think they're exactly spoilt for choice. The industry lures in all kinds of cretins.

 

I hadn't watched it at all before this year TBH, but decided to watch the episode with Jesse Hogan and assumed people on here were just exaggerating regarding Robbo.

I was wrong. He really did look and sound drunk, and his questions were inane and irrelevant.

Won't watch it again.

I found the show far more interesting with Sheahan filling in for Robbo a few months back. Some actual journalistic questions for a change, it simply embarrassed Robbo's usual drivel (even though the chemistry with Gerard is unmatched).

What irks me is their regular guests. They have the same coaches, same players and same guests every single week. It got really tedious hearing Paul Roos waffle on and dance around questions, now it's just boring having to hear Buckley justify every single Collingwood decision on Mondays, or Lewis talk about how amazing Hawthorn are and Riewoldt talk about how shithouse Richmond are (then rail off excuse after excuse about underperformance). They desperately need to shake up their guests because it's boring as hell having the same voices every night.

Not to mention parading around a convicted drug cheat on Thursdays as some kind of good bloke! The very definition of jobs for the boys.

I think that's a good point 'Saber'.

They probably wanted to get some sense of continuity but would be better if they rotated all the coaches & a mix of players through, it does get a bit the same.

I don't mind "Molly" with Gerard, makes for an interesting dynamic.

ive got a love/hate thing with Robbo. he represents the everyday footy loving bloke i reckon.  can be hard to listen to but he does love the game and is honest and even mildly amusing at time

4 shows a week is way too much but I watch once or twice a week usually unless the Mrs is hogging the IQ with masterchef, block and all that rubbish

Paul Roos was the master of nothing answers, but i disagree on Buckley. As much as i hate the collingwood filth, particularly their president, Bucks gives insightful answers, treats Slobbo's long-winded rambling questions with contempt and can see his baiting a mile away.  He clearly either doesn't like or respect Robbo, probably both, and is the antithesis of Roos and other cliché filled media experts. 

I normally quite like the show, but last night was horrendous.

 

a little love in, they should have got a hotel room.

 

They were too gutless to ask Dill the likeable any tough questions at all.

 

how no-one put the question to Dill on whether he thinks that it is right for the druggies to get pick 1 as a reward for having their season ruined by a punishment for systematic drug cheating is beyond me.

 

they were both weak and cowardly journalists last night

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
