FTA-TV AFL 360 - Season 2016

Remove this Banner Ad

From the ~6 episodes I've seen, Huddo reveals just how scripted AFL 360's straight-man beats are. He has a clinical news-man teleprompter delivery whereas Gerard has a comfortable rhythm and delivery that feels natural. Robbo's stop/start staccato makes that more pronounced. So when it comes time to ask Huddo's opinion, it seems like he speaks until oxygen has run out in the room.

Huddo doesn't know how to stop Robbo from rambling the way Gerard does. I remember they did a two minute scramble where they try to get through as many topics that they haven't adressed yet as possible. They got through one.

Agree. But the two minute scramble has pretty much been just one topic most of the year, I think they've just accepted that now.

I swear Robbo has one or two weeks off a year sick. Besides when I broke my ankle I can't remember taking off more then two days in a row in years.
You probably don't share the same lifestyle of beer, durries and chicko rolls.

Eddie is on tonight...this should be good

You reckon? I turned it over to the back page as soon as I saw he was on. Shit person, and my remote is about all I have to send that message.
 
Did manage to get the tackle out this week

Why do shows like this continue to give Eddie a platform? How could Gerard have handled co-presenting the show with him given recent events?

"Dane Swan is like something from a Jimmy Barnes or a Bruce Springsteen song."

Sorry, what?

What is the deal with this totally confected attempt to turn Swan into some kind of folk hero?

Eddie closes by fapping about his "magnetism".

Any time I've seen Swan on TV, he's been grunting, inarticulate and devoid of charisma or polish. Why would anyone give this guy a job in the media?

I don't get it at all.

A lot of people really love Swan, not just as a player but as a personality. They find him to be one of the few modern players who is authentic and doesn't speak out of the media training handbook. He's massively popular at sportsman's nights, more so than any other recently retired player I can think of.

Based on what?

I've never seen a skerrick of wit or insight.

Oh but he's got tattoos so must be a 'different cat'. It's so contrived.

Bogans are easily impressed.

I don't necessarily disagree with what you're saying here, I think it is a bit of a facade he puts on when speaking publicly. But there's no denying his popularity among the football public.
