I’ve never agreed with a Rohan rant more.

That would be amazing! I'd also like to be able to choose different camera angles if needed although I admit I'd probably use them a few times and then not bother after. I remember that was meant to come in years ago but never did.I haven't watched footy with the sound up for years. Hopefully eventually with digital TV we should be able to choose our commentators, Channel Seven and Fox will get a shock when that happens.

Agree on the naming of teams Rohan but i think they are doing it because it generates more clicks for the AFL website. I know i go there 3 or 4 more times a week more than past years.Hi folks,
The Round 6 Review episode is up already! We've got full reviews of all nine games, and this week Finey delivers an especially poignant "Rant" in keeping with the solemnity of the occasion. Hope you enjoy the show.
Cheers,
Rohan

I can't keep up with this show. You guys should be on radio.
Finey has an unusual love for the bombers. Way more than Roco, and its quite sickening really. I think its a leftover from Fineys defence of them during the ASADA sagaJeez, fair bit of love for Essendon - name-dropped 18 players plus Rutten, and the only praise for GWS was "gee they're ill-disciplined" and (rightly) admonishing Finlayson.
A gambling sponsorship, really Roco? When's Marlboro cigarettes coming on?
Geez like we need more gambling shoved down our throats. I'm done.
It's not so much that the plugs are overly intrusive, it's that by accepting their sponsorship you are promoting an industry that is responsible for a whole host of societal issues. There's a difference with 'never having an issue with the morality' and actively promoting it. Gambling is way too pervasive in sport and now you're on the wrong side of the discussion.
Not sure where I sit here. I hate the idea of gambling adds. Rohan if this is costing you 'six figures'....as much as I love the show, is it worth it? if you didnt run the website and just did podcasts would you need the gambling $. Or are you hoping someone comes along and buys out the content/platform/membership? Sorry I dont want to seem negative as you do a great job and I wish it would earn you the $ it deserves....but I dont want to see you turn into SEN/Hutchy and sell your soul for the Dapto dogs.OK, well I'm sorry to hear that. And you're entitled to your view. The other way of looking at it is this. We've been doing the podcast now for 5 years. The sponsorships we already have barely cover costs. In fact, they don't. Running Footyology this long (including the website) has in fact cost me close to six figures of my own money. I think we're entitled to be earning at least a little back in return. The cost to the listener is one set of odds read out after each preview, and a plug for the sponsor at the top and end of the podcast. In a 90-minute show, I actually don't think that's overly intrusive. And for anyone who wants to try to go the "you're a lefty so shouldn't condone gambling" line, nope, I've never had an issue with the morality of it, and nor does Finey. Anyway, that's my two bob's worth. Make of it what you will.
reasonable point.......my main objection to the the gambling adds is they are shoved in my kids face when at the football or watching the gameI don't have a problem with the ads on the podcast, the advertising is a lot less intrusive than other forms of footy media on tv and radio and most podcasts I listen to have some advertising to help fund them.
As for gambling ads I think it's more of a problem on tv when they show odds before or during games where kids can be influenced by them. I doubt many kids would be listening to the Footyology podcast, it would mostly be adults who should be sensible enough to make up their own minds about gambling.
