As painful as Dwayne may be, try living in WA not supporting the Eagles and having to listen to any media here.

    I gave Finey his first break on radio,  on a Sports Show I did with WJ and former Demon Trevor Korn and the Lawyer Steven Peak is a mate and partner in a racehorse with me.

    I had to push the dump button and erase several swear words from Finey. He did know his sport however.

    The man with an account on an MFC supporting website asks if he is normal. (laughs hysterically while foaming at mouth)

    Some respect please Redleg. It was actually not “former Demon Trevor Korn” at all but his late brother Greg Korn, a fine cricketer in his day. I think Peaky was on radio but not a regular - the other person was our panel operator and compere Brendan Luno who was an amateur footballer. And let’s not forget Derby Dave who dazzled us with his horseracing tips. Finey’s forte was his impersonations and his best was of the uncle of Pakistani right arm leg spinner Abdul Qadir who described giving an LBW decision in favour of his nephew for a ball that pitched a foot outside off stump.

    We were on 3CR which was run by Bill Hartley and because of his far, far left bent, he had little understanding of our programme which was basically full of bullshit about sport and that description  just about matched his political beliefs.

    Unfortunately, Bill seemed to approve more of programming which included shows like the Rastafarian hour which immediately preceded our time slot so that by the time our show came on air, the studio was full of hazy fumes that definitely affected our output and content. The Rastas also supplied the studio receptionist so we had a few interesting moments with crossed lines on our talk back calls.
     
    We were eventually unceremoniously discontinued and replaced by an all female programme the content of which I never understood but I believe had something to do with a Greek island called Lesbos. I think it was 3CR’s loss because we were one of their highest rating shows (which isn’t saying much).

    I quite like Maher and Murphy combo but I'm only a very occasional SEN listener ie trade week.

    SEN has invested heavily in Lyon and Watson, Whately and now Russell. Its yet to be seen if that investment will generate ratings boost that allows a commercial return on that investment. The AFL/NRL divide makes national sports radio/tv shows more of a challenge than in more homogeneous sporting markets ie US. Be interesting to see what ratings SEN generate outside of Victoria and how they monetise that with national advertisers or insert local.

    Sad, but I find Lyon and Watson must listen and amusing, Whately top of his game and well informed , Then switch off.

    In the old days, Dermot Huddo and Hardy were great, as was Mark Fine. But that's all over now.

    Pity the advertisers after 12.00  (if they stick around that is.) These sorts of stations need personality and top class broadcasters to keep the listeners (as per my comments on pre-Noon programs.).

    Didn’t Jimmy Toumpas’ family come from one of them Greek islands?

    I can’t believe I mixed that up. The late great Greg “nightlife “ Korn was a star of the show.

    Close but no cigar. I believe the Toumpas family were from Cyprus and I don’t think he would be related to the ladies I referred to.

    I used to often listen to “The Lesbian Hour” on 3CR back in the ‘80’s with a little green herb rolled up to enhance the experience!!

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • 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.
