AFL 360 - Best Season


DEE fence

Recommended Posts

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.

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

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
