Hogan and Lever both in the coaches box and both made an appearance on roaming BT don't worry.

You don't really get great interviews by suprising players who are dead sore and want to relax. I think the classic desk in the rooms and have 2-3 players and maybe a special coach or CEO come on for an interview is better. Maybe have a 2min segment where BT goes and finds something interesting (like the rub down table as he calls it) and let him do it. Running through the rooms with a camera and cords and approaching people in the way he does leads to some cringy moments.

BT asked the lady who weighs everyone if she is the Rub down girl (great moment tbh), went into ice bath areas to interview a half naked hibbo and a kid (that sounded worse than it was) and had the very excited McDonald parents try and embarrass their kids on live TV.

    Couldn't agree more. He thinks he's an authority.

    Does anyone know who the boys were kissing on the cheek on their way into the rooms? I assumed it was one of the Mums, but I could be wrong

    Worth putting up with BT to have this sort of access to the players/rooms after a finals win.    The vibe in there is electric.

    Bonus points to Clayton Oliver for the pizz take of Brian.

     

    No putting up with, that's past.

    BT's been very good this year, and has somehow changed his attitudes. IMO.

    He's very listenable, this year.

     I find it interesting and entertaining, not rude.

    And it gives some other interviewers some vision time on telly.

    Interesting.

    Just finished watching BT’s segment. Where was Hogan? Anyone see him in the rooms?  Every somebody and nobody connected with the club was there. He has kind of disappeared lately like he must be doing a stint in a remote lamasery in the Himalayas.

    Oh no. I think he's gone.

    I liked BT meeting Nevs parents. They deserve some sort of award for producing a son like him. 

    I also liked when Frosty was interviewed on the MFC podcast during the week. Sam was asked "who he most looked up to at the Club" It took him no thought at all to nominate Nev for not just what he did on the field but for his closeness to his family and his work in the indigenous community. Frost said that we all have 24 hours a day but Nev makes the most of every one. 

    BT plays the fool, and maybe one for all I know, but I do like the ‘inner access’ it provides mug punters like me.

    Craig Jennings summed up how I feel about BT perfectly. 

     

    Daniel Cross is a bulldogs legend, remember? His kid goes for the Dees. [censored] awesome.

    Just watched it now, what a champ Tom and Oscar’s dad is! Hibberd dropping the bomb, everyone was awesome.

    I’d wanted to see a Roaming Brian with us all year, now it just seems like a regular thing!

    Agree. Cringeworthy but nonetheless entertaining - was Clarrie playing stupid, or ...??

    OMG. Not there for BT’s segment.  ?

    Surely incontrovertible and final proof that he hates this club and just can’t wait to feel the buzz and excitement of a Ross Lyon forward “structure”!

    Roaming Brian two weeks in a row.  Awesome.  The access to players was sensational  

    We didn’t get the Friday nights this year. 

    Watch out 2019 fixtures for 4-5 Friday nights surely. We are the highest scoring entertainment team.

    Highest scoring ... lots of goals ... lots of ad breaks.

    Somewhere a Channel 7 exec is thoughtfully stroking his chin and asking his PA to get Gil on the line.

    Give bt credit. He complimented the club on its approach to providing full and open access as the best in the afl. As did caro and hutchy on monday night.

    Well done dees media team and management.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
