Opinion Commentary & Media VIII

[gerry101101]

None of them are people, they’re a bunch of drug fuelled cronies in human skin suits.

Can’t work out if this was about the Peter Dutton comments, or the changing of the guard at AFL360. Works either way.

Think the show won’t be anywhere near as good without him.

But the show isn't much good now. You watch the first segment which is usually good, then flick through any self-promotion or the corny previews with Matt Nable, skip the ads of course, fast forward through the coaches or players (unless it's Clarko or a NMFC player which it very, very rarely is) which mostly turns into cliches or just relating to those clubs and go past anything that isn't footy related and you can watch the whole thing in 20min.

Hopefully, sacking Robbo is just step 1 in overhauling a matey, self-satisfied but tired format which hasn't changed in a decade. Otherwise they may as well have kept him.

Did anyone hear Cornhole this morning calling Harry Sheezel stupid for signing a long term contract, because you won't see Harley Reid doing it, guess what bozo, might be a small percentage, but money is not the be and end all for everyone, i hope his manager or the club demands an apology.

The problem with trying to be controversial all the time is that eventually you never are and people just ignore you. Why bother responding to anything Cornes says? He'll just double down and appreciate the oxygen you're giving him. Best not argue with fools.

 

[Black Diamond]

Time to stop paying attention to Cornes. Just don’t listen to his show and don’t click on YouTube.

You know what he's like, why tune in?

I switch SEN on in the morning to hear any news, and it's on all day in the background, been doing it for years, not proud of it, but it is what it is, and suspect i am not Robinson Crusoe

Suspect you are but not on Friday.

Not sure if this is the right forum but the amount of content the North media team put out is so limited.

They produce next to no content. How about a few highlights packages from some key players from the year? It's not rocket science as to what club supporters want to view. Maybe a Duursma or Wardlaw or McKercher or Sheezel's best moments that are longer clips than 30 seconds...

LDU's inaugural BnF highlights goes for 50 seconds. That's a 2 hour job, max.

 

[Lomas]

Suspect you are but not on Friday.

Was that a clever, if possibly risque, pun about Man Friday? Or was it an observation that nobody else listens to SEN all day, but this will change on Friday?

He's been confronted about it multiple times by other journos. He doesn't care, just likes to push his narrative to be 'edgy'.

He can get a bit nasty when the tables are turned or becomes very defensive. Typical bully traits.

Will be interesting to see if Garry is interested in going from a 1 night a week gig to 4 nights given he has cut back his days on SEN. This seems like a lot especially if he does continues to do all the game day stuff on Fox.

How utterly uninspiring

A bad pun. I was wondering if anyone knows who Friday is these days. I don't listen to SEN any day!

I actually can't think of a good chioce outside of Dunstall, who I don't think would do it.

Part of what made 360 work is the contrast between Whateley and Robbo. One is the ultra straight and professional media guy, the other is the more grass roots, less polished but passionate footy fan. And somehow they were able to play off each other really effectively, as they represent both sides of the sport.

Replacing Robbo with just another polished media person just makes it so boring.

Really well put there Doc. Robbo has his flaws, but he's not the usual sycophant ex-player who's desperately trying to climb the ladder to a career post playing. Calls it as he sees it, just not that eloquently at times.

Have you seen their ratings? Suspect you might be Robinson Crusoe

 

[DocSholl]

Also.worth pointing out that, for all his faults, Robbo is a very good journalist in his own right.

It probably comes down to what they want the show to be moving forward, if it's like for like it's going to be difficult to find a replacement within their current crop.
Maybe they'll go with female to satisfy the new social inclusion clause in the media broadcasting agreement.

I was thinking about this. The only personality who could come in as a like-for-like with Robbo is Dane Swan
