They also picked up Owens from their academy before the rules got changes.

You could see Whately getting impatient with Robbo's waffle sometimes. Robbo is a bit of a bozo but he does love footy.
Should think himself lucky he got 14 years.

Robbo seems like a bloke who’d be good to have a yarn with at the pub over a few several beers. Decent fella with some interesting stories
As the co-host of a daily football program aired nationally not so much. Particularly for viewers based outside Victoria given his inherent bias to his home state

Sorta bloke you’d wanna be five beers deep before you engage in a conversation with

I'd 10000% rather listen to Robbo passionately talk footy than Milhouse Von Fartsniffer next to him.

Nah, would be more than happy for Lyon to be on 360.
Should mean he gets a decent replacement for OTC and as I don't watch 360, I'll get to mostly avoid him.
Would be hilarious if robbo becomes a co host on OTC
"Let's replace the relatable everyman with the guy most famous for bedding his best mates ex and crying about the Melbourne footy club"
And they wonder why foxtel is struggling
I mean, if you define 'relateable' as being an alcoholic that's permanently half-pissed on air and likely has a gambling addiction then yea, he probably is relateable to the average AFL fan...
Eh, I don't think Robbo's been the same since his major health problems. Which is understandable. And he must've gotten some dental work done of the last year or two because he slurs some words like he's got false teeth in.
14 years is a long enough time for a pair of hosts to be together, I'd prefer someone new to join Gerard, Gaz is doing fine as the host of On the Couch, he doesn't need to be doing 360 as well.
Ochre
:o
Having 2 journos and no ex-player host always felt like a good point of difference for 360, especially as On The Couch has really just been ex-players since Sheahan/Walls/Roos left.
Would love to see Dunstall replace Robbo as he's fantastic but if he isn't up for it, I'd like to see them have a different co-host every day with at least 1 not an ex-player

Robbo's stories towards the end of this about his time in the Brisbane rooms GF day are hilarious and incredibly on brand for him. Can't pretend I've watched much 360 in recent years but he was a real point of difference in the media.
I think a lot of the stuff said about Robbo is nonsense TBH.
Sure he's not everyone's cup of tea and not the most eloquent, but to suggest he's an alcoholic and has a gambling addiction is over the top.
I doubt he'd be able to keep his job at Fox for 14 years if he continually turned up pissed.
It's a bit of a pile on IMO.
You've never watched AFL 360, have you?
Yep
And by watching it you've decided he's a degenerate gambler and an alcoholic.
Ok then.
It's got more to do with his public antics outside of AFL 360. The gambling quip was a joke but he's well-known around the traps for indulging in a tipple a bit too much.
