    Agree.

    And whilst they're at it add the producer who seems to think long, fast cut video sequences backed by an uber dramatic soundtrack is some sort of artistic genius.

    Are you kidding? Cutting the Petracca hates Melbourne story to the soundtrack of Orcs marching on Helms Deep was an inspired choice!

    I have to say the Gawn segments on the MMM breakfast (I think I only watch on IG) play well, as does Daisy when he's not doing betting ads. Not nearly ad negative as the footy classified misery, or sanctimonious as 360 often is. I find myself watching most of them, anyone else?

    I only found this segment recently but have quickly become a fan. They allow enough time for Max to explain his opinions and experiences rather than look for the headline or controversy which is nice.

    Max is always great to listen to.

    Finally. I might start watching it if they put someone lucid like Jason Dunstall on to replace him.

    Probably untrue and an urban myth but it was reported somewhere that Robbo used to watch and then write his match reports in the bowels of a Fitzroy pub.

    Does anyone know whether Mark Robinson writes his own articles or whether they are ghost written? I ask because his written work is articulate, albeit a bit simplistic in its content, whereas his spoken word seems like a train in search of a bridge to fall off.

    It's called editing. Done by professionals.

    I suspect, given the timing, that the last straw was his disastrous interview with Fagan and potting David King. King responded and wasn't happy, and Fagan was a gentleman and could have had a red hot go at King. King denies the accusation and called Robbo a liar.

    Stopped watching regularly when I lost all interest in non-MFC topics, but in an industry full of clickbait wankers I appreciated Robbo's unpolished, man on the street personality. He didn't always get it right or said things in a weird way but the less fake people im the media the better.

    Unfortunately, saw that one.

    His weird way was getting weirder.

    If his post concussion brain is up to it, I think Angus Brayshaw could do a great job on one of these shows.  His Gus and Gawn was good and I think I recall him being decent on the Sunday footy show a few times.

    Would be a huge gig first up, but he certainly has the intellect and footy smarts to pull it off.

    Confirmed he was sacked last week and was caught off guard

    Amazing he lasted 14 years on TV

    This whole story just proves what everyone else could see every night. He got told he wasn’t getting a new contract last week, and so he had a sook about it and didn’t show up to work on Monday. So instead of taking the high road and showing up and thanking every body who he worked with publicly, he stayed at home and cried into his beer.

    I never understood how he held so many prominent positions, and the way he’s acted just proves that he wasn’t fit to hold them. If you don’t have any discernible talent the least you can do is show and be gracious. That he couldn’t do that tells me he doesn’t understand how utterly replaceable he is.

    Why would Lyon want to do that show?

    Garry is a great analyser of footy. He'd be great with Gerard but I thought he'd enjoy on the couch more.

    Prefer Lyon over Lewis and J Riewoldt who seem to both be playing bigger roles on AFL 360.

    I actually truthfully didn't mind Robbo on the show. Brought a bit of character to the show.

    Same, Robbo was the passionate fan that would speak his mind and I found it entertaining. 
    After a bad Essendon loss I couldn't wait for 360 on the Monday. 

    Although, I'd usually turn the show off after the first 15min once interviews start, except for when they have Montagna and King on.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
