Funny that in the case of the Matt Rendall affair they were like Leon Davis in the 2002 GF. Nowhere near it. Instead they were just toeing the company line.
I expect Robbo to go flying off the handle, and as usual Gerard to chime in with the voice of reason.
Just like last night (Or Monday?) when Robbo got all worked up about some insignificant comments Cale Morton made RE: Melbourne and West Coast, and Gerard's reply was one of: "Yeah... nah
"
That said, I think both of them will probably be more dumbfounded than anything.

It'll start something like this.
Whateley : "..footy from all angles, good evening Robbo"
Robbo : "Hello Gerard"
Pause
Robbo : "Well..."
Followed by the clearing of the throat and stretching of the arms before he unloads a tirade..

Listening to Harry O talk about how people aren't educated on stuff that we were educated on at school. Ehh

That was uncomfortable viewing. Eddie was clearly upset, Harry made some very good points, Gerard and Robbo were struggling to get their points across.
That’s 30 minutes I won’t get back just going around in circles
Eddie
“It is what it is”
“I will Cop my wack”
“I'm not going to try and duck and weave here”
repeat
Harry you’re not as articulate as you think you are, you mean well and I admire that, but your no Adam Goodes in trying to get a point across.

I'm not likely to be able to get to watch it - was Gerard as tough as he usually is when the target of his statements is actually in the same room?
Gerard was soft on Eddie IMO however both he and Robbo couldn’t get a word in for 25 of the 30 minutes.

Yeah, they just couldn't get in to make a point.
Gerard was soft on Eddie like when they replayed MMM radio with Darcy and Eddie,three times Darcy knew where Eddie was going I think this interview lost AFL360 a lot of credibility,so now if anyone at a footy field screams out a racist slur and is pulled over just say "It was a slip of a tongue" Foxtel must be scared of Eddie,the handshake said it all at the end

Thanks, sadly as I expected.

Yep, one of the worst 360 episodes of all time (besides the entire string of episodes Huddo were hosting).
Eddie had his time to speak (all be it pretty poorly), in the press conference. 360 should have used that 30 minutes (or less) to actually discuss and analyse the situation.
It was soooooo awkward to watch. Eddie continually saying "it was just a slip of the tongue", despite saying he didn't want to make any excuses.
Harry O clearly disgusted with the comments, then backtracking and actually defending Ed because he was on the panel was awful too.
Once again I'm amazed that you guys were expecting anything else.
The AFL media is one long gravy train and no-one - repeat no-one - wants to derail it by being hard-hitting, controversial or holding people to account. Or by being a proper journalist or media commentator.

I have enjoyed watching the death stare that Harry O was giving Eddie across the desk at the start of the interview.

I doubt Harry O's credibility to speak about this issue. You need to be pristine white and harry's on-field sledging doesn't fit the criteria.

I couldn't disagree more. Maybe you would prefer Footy Classified instead - where people yell and score points off each other in tacky displays of fauxmotion. Cause what I saw tonight from Gerard was an intelligent and probing interview. He asked all the right questions. None of them were comfortable or "soft". And he then let Eddie answer them to the fullest extent possible. And at no time did Gerard seem in the slightest bit impressed with Eddie's answers. He just showed journalistic restraint. Fair play, I say.
Robbo was the odd one. He was behaving like Eddie's defence lawyer. 2/3 of each of his questions were like pre-defences on Eddie's behalf. I think Robbo finds it very difficult to poke people who are looking him in the eye - on the 360 desk at least.
no he didnt, he thinks we should let everyone into the country to run wild.

If anyone has missed watching 360 over the past couple of weeks, here's a quick summary
Gerard: Good evening. I'm Gerard Whateley and he's Mark Robinson
Robbo: "Evening"... Great word, Gerard.... Evening... Mmmmmm [stares dreamily into space]
Gerard: Who was your hero on the weekend?
Robbo: My hero was Nathan Buckley. People are coming for Collingwood. They're sticking the boot in. But Nathan Buckley is putting his stamp on this team. Forget about the results. They've got some great kids. Dwyer... Elliott... Seedsman.... Keefe... Well, he's injured right now, but he'll be back.... There's a kid in the VFL, I forget his name, but wait until you see him. Exciting times ahead for the Magpies. What about you, Gerard? Who was your hero?
Gerard: My hero was Harry Taylor. He was imperious on the weekend. Impregnable. Indefatigable. It was an authoritive display. Is he the best swingman in the game? Do you think he has gone past Buddy as the most valuable free agent on the market?
Robbo: Do you think he'll leave Geelong?
Gerard: Oh, no... Definitely not. The first item on tonight's agenda is the Match Review Panel's inconsistency in relation to the James Kelly suspension a few week's ago. We saw again on the weekend a few more bumps which went unpunished. If someone upstairs will just roll the video.... Okay... Slow it down.... Look at that! Shocking! How does he get off scott free?
Robbo: It's outrageous! I'm really annoyed by this. It really gives me the shits. Can I say that? Well it does....
Gerard: if you freeze-frame all of these bumps, they're all exactly the same... the mind boggles... Anyway, the next item on our agenda is today's release of Ziggy Switkowski's report on the Essendon controversy. It paints a none-too-flattering portrait of their internal processes. Quite damning, I would suggest.
Robbo: Yeah... Nah.... Look, I'll admit I've been an Essendon fan for a long time and James Hird is close friend of mine. People need to take a deep breath. We all do. Everyone knows that James Hird is man of outstanding character and principles and he would never do anything untoward. I believe him when he says he knew nothing about this. Do you?
Gerard: ummmm...
Robbo: I think we all need to wait until ASADA's report comes out and then I'm quite confident this will be resolved and Hird and Essendon will be cleared. Jobe Watson is a great player. Best captain in the AFL. Have I told you that I've watched him grow up since he was little boy? It's been a privilege. We're all so proud of him.
Gerard: Okay... we move now to a less-positive story, but one that must be examined. Melbourne's woes. In particular, Mark Neeld's exit strategy.
Robbo: Do you think he's gone, huh?
Gerard: No question. It's just a matter of when.
Robbo: Did I tell you he's a friend of mine? Great guy, Neeldy. A real straight shooter. I've got a lot of time for him...

To be fair to Robbo, he was the only journo that asked a remotely probing question at the release of the Switkowski report press conference. A question that wasn't answered at the time and which remains unanswered to this day (as far as I'm aware). What happened to Dr Reid's letter?
