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!!

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
