Opinion Commentary & Media VIII

[CURVE]

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

Perhaps Jack Riewoldt.

 

[chubbspeterson]

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

True. Gerard vs Robbo just worked on 360. But heard Robbo might not be the best person. Happened to mention his name one day talking about a footy article and this guy I kinda knew who was a regular said "that bloke tried to shag my wife".
This was in Bendigo at the time. It was awkward.

Perhaps Jack Riewoldt.

That would get boring quickly.

It did work didn’t it.
For me it was the fact archer and Jackson would go over to his house and watch games which surprised me.
Gave him a bit more credibility in my books after watching that segment

Just a poor writer

Like Sheahan

I don’t need them to be Rhodes Scholars when talking about football. I’d much rather listen to Mike or Robbo describe something than Gerard’s pontificating rubbish. Maybe that’s just me.

Or that old celebrity chef floyd?

Boris Yeltsin possibly?

Any living examples?

No it's not just you

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

I believe Dunstall only has a 1 year contract left and is considering retirement. Didn’t realise he turned 60 a couple of months ago.

I’d rather use a belt sander on my taint than listen to Gerard doesn’t mean the others are good

You know what happened the last time you did that with the belt sander don't you?

And I still would prefer it

More like Rogue scholars.

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.

True.

But for that reason, when Whateley was unavailable 360 became a hard watch.

Robbo hosting with Kath Loughnane was some of the most awkward tv I’ve seen all year.

Then there’s jy putting wine under Sheezels nose.

Probably hanging out in the cubicles together.

 

[BrownPaperBag]

My intel is BT will replace Robbo

Caro and Corn on the cob left 9 for a more matchday role, or roll (maybe a chicken treat chicken roll combo)

It is a tweet and not drafted well. They are separate comments.

Club number 2 to call out FS and Academy bullshit.

None have done as well as the Bulldogs, of the Victorian Clubs at least.

Geelong went ok

Yes, but recently WB have had gifts from both academy and FS under what is essentially the current system.
