I really need to hear a show sometime. I’ve heard snippets but haven’t heard how he handles callers.

    I love it how the OP just dropped a turd and ran off.

    I love it how someone who has such disdain for a thread seems to like coming back for more of it..

    Loves the sound of his voice (which ironically is freaking annoying) way too much. I’ve switched off.

    Gerard sounds disturbingly similar to Frank Walker from National Tiles.

    He's not one for the common man Whately. I've always seen him as super pretentious and not nearly as smart as he thinks he is. Also, his interest in horses borders on the perverse.

    But other than that he's great!

    He seems to think he's Kraft'y,  but imo, plain cheddar.

    opps... OK,,, I'll see myself out.

    don't listen to the footy stuff on the radio (already being on here is enough and my girlfriend would leave me if i started blaring that [censored] in the car), but i do tune in to afl 360 on occassion and he seems ok. lots more way annoying commentators than him. he's at least intelligent.

    According to the OP your girlfriend would be smart and Whately would be a moron.

    He’s one of the best play-by-play callers in the afl

    As a counterbalance to Slobbo on 360 he plays that role to perfection 

    As a stand-alone radio host he leaves a lot to be desired

    None of them much these days. I don't watch or listen for insight so much, as news...  and being entertained.  ie: humour.

    Back in the day, The Footy Show; but its become the Newmann show, in latter years. >>>   very little footy content, and lots of Ego's stoking themselves.

    The time Sam went too far with Schwarta, broke a bond for me, and I have since watched with gritted teeth.  No more, can't stand the show anymore. Schwarta's response, is one of THE Highlights.

     

    These days a I like to tune into Marngrook, it still has its organic footy feel and lowbrow fun. I think its sort of grass roots, with some pazazz.

    The Front Bar is good, as its fresh, & lighthearted humour.  Genuine laughter.

     

    Away from Footy, I've liked,  "ave you bin payin' attenzion"

     

    ... can't stand the cop shows apart from NCIS. and John Deed . 

    I can't stand any cop shop shows, like highway patrols, etc,apart from the KIWI ones,,, who are not full of their own schit.  I do not like to watch battlers getting into strife.  and being belittled.   respect to individuals is king.

     

    Sick of the news shows.

     

    Project is OK ,accept when  Steve Price or other Andy Bolt wannabe is on. then I turn it off.

     

    That's almost it for me. Iv'e seen all the stories over the decades,,, and they're now boring. and pay tv is just as bad. (at a friends place)

    Pay tv is bleeding Free2Air dry, by '1000 cuts' to the content.  'They', try to buy all popular shows from F2A, and slowly strangle the old TV.

     

    Soon I won't wartch TV, and only watch replays and movies on discs, which I have hundreds.. and Albums of Musica.

     

    I Will NOT pay for TV,,,  Ever !

    Interestingly we have very similar opinions.  The Front Bar is the only show I watch on TV now, other than live sport.  We have a Netflix account but even that I find we use less and less.  When the kids watch TV it is almost always something niche on YouTube.

    Modern tv has lost its soul, just as we have lost our many:  Aretha, Ray Charles, Robbie Flower, Steve Irwin, Peter Brock,  Muhammad Ali etc....   all people of true passion and Driven Via their hearts, for the purposes they love.

    Not by money_

     

    I believe the plight of the planet will one day unite us all with a passion never witnessed when our own lives and future existence are under real threat.

    It is now, but we haven't realised it, just yet.

     

    We are too busy trying to beat all others,,, to notice the killer hiding behind our right shoulders.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
