Gerard Whateley - Best in the business?

[windyhill]

Did he actually have a blub that his just as annoying little mate, razor , didn’t get a prelim and a shot at The G.F ? You couldn’t make that up.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

He's really leaning into the dumbest aspects of the trade period. And it hasn't even started yet.

Whateley at the bar...

I'm 'G', I host AFL 360 on Fox

Oh really, which one are you??
Hang on I know... you're the bald one.

Em No, I'm the OTHER one.

Sorry! .. I ment you're the one who won't admit it.

Emmm, I also have several pink sports coats

was at Whateley's 50th..

Hutchy on Sen today.
Was talking about Whateley's 50th.

Was asked if Robbo was there and after some silence said "No".

Wonder if he was invited or just refused to go.

They had a good on air relationship but didn't socialise much if at all.

Yeah, but this is a 50th birthday, not a bbq.

If they were on good terms, reckon he'd be there.

very interesting

 

[richoatthedisco]

It's funny that Whately's just turned 50 when he's been 70 for 15 years.

My guess is that Robbo wanted to avoid all the Fox people who he reckons shafted him

Maybe.

Maybe he includes Whateley in that.
Maybe he wasn't even invited.

There's obviously more to the story.

I thought it was clear as day the way Robbo departed 360 that it was Gerard who sniped him

Robbo was on Sam Newman's podcast last week. He only spoke about Fox for a few minutes

Think he said in an interview the following day that he'd received lots of nice messages.. but hadn't heard from Gerard. Speaks volumes, that and the miniscule mention he got on 360 that evening (the only time Whateley hasn't given a grand oration!)

Got told by a few people that he didn't pull the trigger but didn't exact go into bat for Robbo either .

The rare times I switched on you could tell he was annoyed at Robbo' lower level of professionalism

That's my take.

Management probably wanted a change.
If Whateley wanted Robbo to stay, he would've.

He obviously didn't want him to.

You'd think he may have realized after 15 seasons, that's what made the show! (a combination of both to be fair)
I think I'll really struggle to tune in nightly next year.
*I know I did when Robbo was off ill a few years back.

Maybe Gerard didn't want the bar tab to bankrupt him

Agree with this. Having two stiffs present the show would make it unwatchable, just like having two Robbo types present it would. Was a combo that worked, whether you liked the personalities involved, or not. Without knowing all the facts, certainly feels like he was shafted, in part, by Gerard.

Robbo would have pre loaded & packed a hip-flask, but agree..it's still a risk.

 

[windyhill]

Friday night on Fox, its you know who from The Pulpit.

 

[The hands of stone]

I heard there was friction with Huddo and he at SEN , why Huddo moved on .
Maybe they patched things up .
