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!!

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
