Fox Footy getting rid of Neroli Meadows is an awful decision :thumbsdown:

Fox are jokers. Makes no sense. Yet we have to put up with Derm adding 0 value to broadcasts.
 
What an absolute joke. The reason was cost cutting. There are plenty more in the Fox Footy team who are lucky to have a job. Neroli is smart, dedicated and actually knows what she is talking about.

I don't know what you are talking about, they need that money to pay for Dwayne Russell to yell out 'CHAOS BALL' every minute or Dermie to spew gibberish. Those things are totally irreplaceable.

I'm sure they'll spend the money on a new show with David King and Champion Data, discussing the best ways to gamble on footy awards you are also one of the judges for.

Eddie hosting on Friday nights and commentating one game in Victoria per weekend and crapping on about how important the victorian rivalries are is completely untouchable in a cost-cutting exercise.

So in other words, totally unsuited to the Fox Footy brand.

FoxFooty still seems to be under the misapprehension that teflon Eddie is some sort of draw-card.

Draw-card for usage of the mute button. 100% increase...

Yup.

Even if you buy the nonsense that all the ex-players are indispensable, or that Eddie and Dwayne are great commentators, there is still a heap of fat you could cut before getting to people like Neroli. Julian De Stoop does the same job on AFL Tonight to a far worse standard and doesn't come anywhere close to Neroli's work on On the Mark.

Me thinks there will be more too it. Maybe they weren't prepared to pay her what she (&us) believe she's worth. She won't have problem getting a gig elsewhere. Sorry to see her go.

She’ll get picked up as a Delisted Free Agent, surely?

Maybe. I don't know though, seems like if you wanted to cost cut there is a heap of ex-players who offer nothing and are likely on reasonably sizeable deals.
 
Damn, while i wasn't a weekly watcher I got into about half of them usually. Really enjoyable show and I loved the hosts. Seems like they are wanting to replace it with a new AFL show of a different format? Over the black dot is still there and now they have the NBL..

hopefully ABC can pick them up :D
 
See a report on DailyMail that Neroli was not popular with other Fox workmates.....I suspect if this is true, it will be that she was probably more professional and expected higher standards.

If this is the reason she got sacked, I hope she sues the pants off them!
