AFL 360 - Best Season

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

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    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

    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. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
