Sounds like the face of the VFA / VFL may not be a part of the coverage in 2007.

Could be one of the best decision by ABC Sport in a long time. At last my 7c is working.

There is a god in heaven! Don't tease us Hughie, just do it. IMO, worst on TV!

God bless the ABC if it's true

And replace him with a boring old sod I assume.

Will miss him badly if its true.
Those calls of 'KIIICCKKK!" & "AH TACKLE!" & "HE'S A GOOD PLAYAH" and of course "OHHH UMPIREEE!!!"
Sat arvos just wouldn't be the same without him.

Be great if true.......to think Sam Newman was in trouble for being overly negative (amongst other things) on the radio, Cleary makes Newman sound like a walking advertisement for football today.

Oh im sorry to hear this, Phil has been very entertaining for the vfl over the past decades he has been involved in it, he will definately be missed if indeed he has been given the flick!
