    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
