    I’m still amazed that this jive turkey is on AFL360, when Chief replaced him when he was ill, it was an absolute joy to watch, Gerard the host and the expert commentator from Chief.  Must be a hell of a lot of Winnie Blue smokers out there sending in love letters to Foxfooty to keep him relevant.  

    Fox Executive: Hey Tim Lane, wanna co-host a nightly program on the AFL

    Tim: Would love too . . . how much?

    Fox Executive: 50k sign-on, 200k/yr salary, 1 paid research assistant

    Tim: Great, Done. BTW, who's the co-host

    Fox Executive: S-Lobbo

    Tim: Um . . . yeah/nah

    Fox Executive picks up phone: Hey Gerard, wanna co-host a nightly program on the AFL

    Gerard: Would love too . . . how much?

    Fox Executive: You'll be hosting with s-lobbo

    Gerard: That'll be 250K sign-on, 500K salary, 100K OH&S insurance plan, the world's biggest air vaporizer installed in the studio and membership of Al-Anon. Oh, and a social worker in place of a research assistant.

    I really can't see how this would be a hard job for anyone to undertake - even S-lobbo.

    The fact that this incoherent blabberer's ridiculous list is a talking point on every fan forum site in the country tells you everything you need to know about the newspapers motives for publishing it.

    Robbo is trying to "crystal ball gaze" to the end of the season and it's clickbait to sell papers. It's a low-probability exercise that you'd hardly waste your time analysing or spending more than a minute discussing.

    My crystal ball only says that Max Gawn will be much more influential than #27 and Dustin Martin will be nowhere near #7.

    It's sad really. I think he's given up. He's lost sight of himself. Everyone thinks he's a fool so he plays the fool.

    The whole industry is sad really. So many ex footballers out there who think they're comedians. 

    My pet hate is (obviously not an ex footballer) Andrew Gaze. Had a very decorated career and now has created a terrible caricature of himself as this over enthusiastic fool who thinks he's funny. Just too sad.

    Sorry but Gaze has always been that way. Did a few b-ball clinics with him back in the day and he was a total larakin. Exactly as he "plays" now. He's just one of those guys that tries everything to make people smile.

    Yeah fair enough, I shouldn't be knocking someone with that motive, that drive show on SEN with Andy Maher is really bad though.

    The wizard hat doesn't suit Robbo. The organ grinder hat is probably a better fit, and even then that's flattering.

    The organ grinder is the Herald-Sun. Robbo is the monkey.

    Love Gazey...Aussie legend, all around top bloke, family man and a great leader...

    Everyone could learn a thing or two about how to be a good human from Andrew

    We all know that Oliver is the best player in the game...Robbo still hasn't figured it out.

    He is struggling with what day it is.

    I know Robbo's list is speculative essentially trying to predict who will be the Number 1 footballer by the end of this year. For Charlie Curnow to get there, I think there are at least three players ahead of him right now...at Carlton. I would put all of Cripps, Walsh and Weitering ahead of him and I could understand an argument that Harry McKay is ahead of him as well.

    Curnow's going to have some year if he's going to be No. 1 by the end of season 2023.

      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.
