The Oracle's Match Review

[Dees of 26 15]

The Coodabeens are fantastic.

Greg Champion's songs are so funny and witty as Rhino pointed out because they are so true.

The more that people complain, the more songs that they will write.

Plus, they know a thing or two about football.

Quite right.They are a football institution..People should not take "the snow jokes" so seriously..Its not as though he does not bag other sides...

I cant for the life of me see why people see in or listen to Rex Hunt.

One of the most self centred, self focussed, hypocritical and dishonest windbags in the media.

I enjoy 3AW's coverage and I'm not sure where you're going with this comment, particularly the "hypocritical and dishonest" part of it. Being self centred and self focussed is far more prevalent on MMM from my listening experience.

I don't find GC's songs offensive, just dull, so I don't listen. Also is the reason I don't listen to the ABC's commentary if I can avoid it. Maybe they need to draft in Michael Holding from their cricket team to give it some life...

Its your choice whether you enjoy 3AW or not.

My comments about Rex is that he has made a number of public statements condemning people for certain behaviours which he has been most guilty of and his dishonesty has been to the public embarrassment and humilitation of his wife and family.

The problem with Rex is that it is all about Rex. I dont find him either incredibly knowledgeable about the game, his comments incisive or entertaining. In fact, its difficult to follow the game because Rex is more concerned about Rex and not the game.

I note 3AW has given him a long overdue kick in the pants.

Agree with the article. It was an eerie feeling at the start of the game. There was no atmosphere and none of the usual noise you hear at the start of a game.

Greg Champion would probably say the Demon fans were "at the snow" but it's still an interesting point. There wasn't much red and blue to be seen at the ground. Melbourne supporters fall off the bandwagon much quicker than most other clubs and it's one of our major weaknesses. We are bleeding financially and our fans aren't showing up or supporting their club.

It's no use complaining about the advantages Collingwood gets with the fixture because their supporters always stick fat no matter where they are on the ladder. That's why the AFL bends over for Eddie on almost every issue.

3AW didn't give Rex so much of a kick in the pants as they did to Ralph Horowitz his producer who I know is a died in the wool Demon supporter from birth. They also sacked Hutchy who was actually not a bad contributor to the programme. They kept the others including Rex who's responsible for most of the anal humour which caused the station's drop in ratings. Anyhow I don't listen to him any more. Unlike most Demon supporters, I prefer going to the game rather than listening in!

When I go to the football I often see people listening to the radio

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Completely agree.

Did you hear Greg Champion's songs today Rhino?

Very funny stuff.

For those who didn't hear it, basically the more that Melbourne supporters complain, the more songs that will be written.

It was good stuff.
