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

    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: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
