I will eat my hat - with some fava beans and a nice Chianti - if Pipe doesn't bring up again that MOTY and GOTY should be extended to include finals.

Did Shaggs describe it as a "feelgood story"? lol

Just heard Andy Maher do a live advertisement with one of the betting agencies. The bloke is a walking talking contradiction - that's me being nice. If there is only one change to the line-up next year, I hope it's that timeslot.

Pipe mentioning that when he has BP on, after five minutes people text in saying "Enough Tennis!" That must be Bedford lol

Can't see him going anywhere. He's only been there for a couple of years. Does a shift of 1.5 hours a day, arrives at work probably at 4pm - 4.30pm, lets Kane do all the heavy lifting, gets to go on surfing holidays a couple of times each year.

Maybe better than The Power Station, but not better than T-Rex!!

I think it's interesting. Someone from this thread called, and got on. Put forward an idea and won a ham. Brought it to this thread (not the ham, the idea) and we're talking about something on SEN. Anyway, so I listened to the Howie Games podcast on Kane Cornes. It was recorded about six weeks...

Cheers, I should have studied it more closely, and not on my phone while I was at the gym! The selling point of your system is that it's pure knockout. That's a pretty strong argument, and many people will like that aspect. There's a few downsides to it, but as I said on the previous page, no...

The first (old) Final 8 system, I meant. From the 1990s.

I hate having a week off before the Grand Final. It sucked when we had it a few years ago.

It's effectively the old Final 8 system, with a play-in round for the bottom two positions. The second week is the problem, with the potential for lopsided matches, and probably needing to play 4 vs 5 and 3 vs 6 on the first two nights. Glad you won the ham though.

What is your finals system?

So they're going to pay him megabucks to do one game, and a mid-week panel show that struggles with its identity. I'd think they'll try to get him on both Thursday and Friday night games. And 'Talking Footy' needs to return to Monday nights, if they're serious about doing more/better talk...

Where is Denver Grainger-Barras at? It would be nice to keep a Barras of sorts in the Eagles line-up. Hawthorn's first-rounder + Barras for Barrass.

I hope it's an ex-footballer (ideally a recent player) rather than another journalist. Jimmy Bartel is on their books and an obvious pick.

I thought he would have gone to Fox Footy for sure.

The wisdom and experience of Stephen Quartermain was talking about how good the Hawks are, pleading that Hutchy lets him do Hawks Radio again, something about watching a bit of rugby league on TV, and then a few uneducated opinions about cricket.

Only a few more weeks left, then BT is gone forever from my TV commentary (I use Kayo). That won't stop the Fox Footy crew from barracking hard for Victorian teams though. Was happening earlier in the day.

His last game calling for Fox this year.

I remember all those incarnations of the Top 6 and then the initial Top 8 format. Not sure which was worse - when it was 3vs4 and 5vs6 in the Top 6, or the 1vs8, 2vs7 etc in the Top 8 days. Although the WCE did benefit from the Top 6 wrinkle in '92. The current format isn't perfect, but it's...

The average life expectancy of a thoroughbred racehorse is 25-30 years according to the RSPCA (My initial guess was that it was less than this). So, Black Caviar was still producing foals (and would have kept going?) at around the two-thirds stage of her expected life. I've made my thoughts on...

Is it normal for an 18-year old mare to still be producing foals after having birthed eight in ten years already? She finished racing and was pregnant forever. Can't expect too much grace from the degenerate horse-racing industry though, can we? They'll push that propaganda that "they treat...

The wisdom and experience of Stephen Quartermain.

I reckon Gerard Healy gets more time off than Garry & Tim. Off surfing again somewhere? The company man Kane puts in the mega-shifts. I think he had a day off recently.

This worked the last few times I have been overseas. https://www.radioemu.com/sen-sports-1116/

Who did "Blues Radio" yesterday for Carlton? Dwayne cut off a Carlton supporter who was critical about the calling team.

As a track & field nut (which I am), I don't know how you can subject yourself to the Channel 9 coverage. By the way, the global commentators on the official feed (Stan Sports) have made some errors, and sometimes it feels like I'm watching the NBC telecast. Quite American-centric. This team...

Just watched Gerard's call of the 100m final. It was good - technically better than the international stream, who only called one runner's name in the entire race. Gerard missed out on Kerley's run and called Bednarek instead.

I began with 9Now, but soon realised I needed a bit more. Split the month's subscription to Stan with 3 other people, so it's cheaper than a pint.

Stan Sport isn't free, but 9Now is free and has multiple live streams carrying the international commentary. Replays on 9Now pick up the Ch9 commentary for the main sports, I think. Stan Sports has been very good. Been watching it 10+ hours a day!
