Really?

I’ve listened and watched him for years on the abc, started as a big fan; he knows sport, articulates well, and commentated without ego. However, over the years, I believe ego has become more prominent, he has become nauseatingly sanctimonious to the extent, I can’t listen to him on SEN (or the podcasts). Added to this, let me tell you, (those unfamiliar with him), he has a real bias against Melbourne, I know this for a fact. Chip on the shoulder perhaps

We would only be news if we had lost. Just watch this week, there will be plenty of positive media talk about Collingwood & Richmond et al, and negatives about Essendon, saints, Carlton, but not a word about us.

Out if town, listened to abc , biased coverage, special comments guys are sounding extremely disappointed

Fritsch winded, back on

Both captain and coach took full responsibility, even though it seems the key offender was Warner. But as leaders they recognise that with the prestige of their positions and the big bucks, comes ultimate responsibility for both good and bad. Yes what a stark contrast to Hird. Steve Smith (and Bancroft) will be welcomed back, in large, by the Australian public with open arms after serving suspension. Redemption and forgiveness will be theirs. I wonder through hird’s iron clad ego, if he reflects on how things could have been.

Garry? Is Garry Lyon on On the Couch?

No not all, just an innocent Demonland life member who has wandered over, because it was at the top of the list of those unread. Don’t worry, I won’t come back, I’ll leave you to it

Are you for real?

What a profound shame

Ah ok, The new look #4 Harmes 2018

Great pics, thanks who’s this?

The abc is my main source for news, -tv, radio and online. What is guthrie’s motive SWYL? Is she wanting to broaden it’s appeal by dumbing it down? Or is it just cost cutting in response to the constant funding decreases? meanwhile I will miss Lateline...

Well done Mazer, I agree with everything you have written, and admire your effort and succinct writing style. You are so right about McLaughlin, his exclusion was embarrassing, I didn’t realise he left.

Can I become a shot firer?

If that is true, the abc are insane

From this “Apparently earlier today I was in a 'sel-harm' mood and instead of calling lifeline I went through with it and watched the last quarter of the final game against Collingwood. Jack Watts absolutely stank it up that quarter. From failing to cover his opponent (cost a goal) to spectating and then failing to lay an effective tackle or smother in the goalsquare (cost a goal), to spectating and then arriving too late to affect a contest just outside the square (cost a point, luckily) to fluffing a forward run, to a whole string of really poor body language, it was terrible. I don't have a personal problem with Jack Watts the way some people seem to, but rewatching his last quarter for us has left me with a much better understanding of why he had to be moved on. Wishing him all the best (up to a certain point) at Port, and also confident we made the best decision possible at the time.” to this “Inspired by Little Goffys post above i watched the entire R23 game. ...missed it back then. Pies gave it their best. IMO Watts’ poor last quater was a bit exaggerated above. When we were thrashed in Q1 he was our best player, was good in Q2, maybe still our best by half time,,, average third and poor last quarters. I think the public nature of his unfair MFC treatment foolishly reduced his trade value for us. Here’s wishing Jack every success at Port Adelaide!” nothing is ever black and white

Yes it’s interesting, Whateley was reported today as saying he won’t be changing his style and management don’t want him to, the plans for the station reaching a much broader audience was the appeal to switch. But as already said, outside afl season, growing the audience will be tough.

Either SEN is going to change sufficiently, to start appealing to more than bogans (I count myself as one, considering the amount of time is spend listening to it) , or Whateley won’t last the year

Well, we got the boot camp drama off talk back radio...

It was addressed at the agm in response to a member question. And really, people care what Danny Frawley thinks???

No I got an email with notification, random nature of communication may explain modest crowd.

I was at the agm tonight where president, ceo and coach all responded to a question about why the camp was canceled. I was satisfied with the explanation, and am surprised at the amount of angst it is creating here. PJ’s comments- the purpose of camps like this is to fast track resilience, mfc has put concentrated effort into this area in recent years and to cancel was not going to mess with overall aim of preseason - injuries, and loss of conditioning, were seen as significant negatives resulting from last year’s camp - coaches don’t treat players as children but address their concerns seriously. PJ is a skilled communicator and no doubt has spun this explanation to minimise the degree of heated debate and bruised egos experienced, to arrive at the decision. But really, in context of all the information conveyed to the agm, this issue is a non-issue

Derwayne is no fan of the Dees

That is massive for our club, we are preferred to all others
