    Yes i recall now.  I've wondered that myself but the old adage "never judge a book by its cover" also applies to voice "appearance" i reckon SW.  He certainly sounds like he's a little off center from a business advice POV though i agree.

    However, you have to be careful.  One of the smartest humans in a business sense i've had the privilege of working with you would never think of as such if you simply judged by speech and grasp of English (Aussie version of English!).    But there you have it.  This view could also be skewed by the fact that i'm not that clever myself though! ?

    Wrong. You're a Melbourne supporter which clearly shows you're smart.

    The last annual report I read had Hutchison earning something well north of 900k per annum as the CEO of SEN. 

    And on the topic of two first names . . . 

    Nothing will ever beat Ron Barassi's question on the day of the Bears/Lions merger in 1996 when the president of the new club, Brisbane Lions, Noel Gordon was being interviewed. He was smugly batting away questions concerning knifes, backs and 'cover of darkness' shenanigans. Ron listened to the BS being spoken for about five minutes without saying too much when I suspect he had finally had enough. A panel member threw to him asking, "Do you have any questions Ron?" Brasso, pausing for two or three seconds for affect, calmly and authoritatively asked Gordon, "What's it like having two first names?" The broadcast box fell silent. Brilliant radio and he had made his point. Then I think the host fell on the floor barely able to contain his laughter.

    Two first names is not uncommon these days. 

    Just ask Cameron Bruce, Clayton Oliver, Bailey Laurie and even James Jordon.

    Yes he is pretty neutral but mostly just a wrap of weekend sport results.  Those bloody Imar ads are annoying though...the tradies mates...massive turn off ?  They would need the insurance though....some of the most out of control agro dangerous drivers i've ever encountered in 35 years of driving.  Possibly the gym & roid combo!?? ?

    All of the ads are cringeworthy. All so predictable. And I can't stand the way there are like 10 in a row. And they manage to insert a bunch more throughout the "news" report

    Talking about dodgy ads lol.  Why would any finance co. want to add that voice into the mix ?

    SEN is only listenable on podcast. No ads, cut up into segments to find relevant content. They also upload pregame show with huddo, whately etc onto 'AFL Nation' podcast. Saturday Crunch time when Dermie isn't on, is also decent.

    Always be wary of people with two first names.

    Lol ...

    Useless facts #405 & 406

    Conversely, have you noticed that commentators usually call players with surname type first names by both names, as if they were hyphenated surnames?  e.g. Aliir Aliir (hardly ever just called Aliir), Harris Andrews, Darcy Moore, numerous Bulldogs players whose first names are Bailey (and our boy Fritsch), Mason Cox, Basher Houli, Lin Jong.

    And a player with a hyphenated surname occasionally gets called by only the second part, e.g.  (Neal)-Bullen !!

     I clearly have too much time on my hands.

    SEN Saturday night post match is a must listen. A quick wrap up cut short by a pre-recorded ‘gem’ called ‘This Sporting Life’ where largely forgotten sportspeople are metaphorically brought back from the dead (ironically sponsored by Tobin Brothers)

    But if you’re patient, deep-voiced teenager Damian Watson (whom I can only assume is dating the Valley Girl newsreader mentioned here) adds some immediacy, taking us through the Saturday games with aplomb. And his most prominent caller appears to be ‘Mark from Taylors Lakes’. There was another caller ‘Mike’ who sounded suspiciously like Mark. He was from Patterson Lakes. Mark has views that would make a Qanon conspirator blush. And Damian tackles him head on with acerbic put downs. Perhaps the most biting was ‘Yes, I see your point’. As I say, it’s a must listen.

    I find SEN pretty lowbrow these days, although I actually don’t mind Off The Bench on Saturday mornings.

    It’s become a vehicle for horse racing, punting and adverts, with a bit of sport in between. Even Gerard Whately’s show, which I used to rate, has gone a bit 3AW as someone said previously.

    I find “Off the Bench” intolerable on Saturday mornings.

    Pickering and Hutchinson share “ in jokes”,which are annoying.

    The  “first person self- congratulatory” rubbish suggests , wrongly, that they, themselves are not 

    conceited prigs.

    I'll post in this thread because it's about radio announcing although not SEN. Congratulations to Gerard Healy on 3AW who in last night's Sports Today show made the folllowing statement in a passionate call for more Thursday night football:

    "Thursday night football should be on every day of the week".

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
