Oppo Camp Other Clubs News/General Discussion

[JLC]

Alcohol has loosened them up lol "take it easy." Baker is off his head.
Bolton couldn't get off that stage quicker lol
Reminds me of Maynard's speech a few years back.

no mention of the fans.

These guys rode off Dusty's coat tails and now desert the sinking ship. The speech was on a par with their actions. Bolton in particular, absolutely pathetic.

only slobbo would see not being able to hold your tongue and taking your bat and ball as a sign of maturity. What a muppet.

AFL360 has been the modern day version of “The Odd Couple”.

The program has little to do with footy - footy is merely the hook that gets us to tune in. What keeps us watching is fascination with the dichotomy between the prim / proper / precise Whately, and the morbidly grotesque Robbo. Felix Unger versus Oscar Maddison.

It’ll be interesting to see what direction the program goes now. Will they persist with “The Odd Couple” dynamic? If so, you’d think Ricky Nixon would have to be an option.

Or will they go upmarket with a stable and reliable footy presenter? That’d improve the quality of AFL360 …

… pity nobody will watch it. It’ be just become yet another magazine footy program.

AFL360 was never about footy.

I do wish we’d have more transparency around player contracts like other major sports. I’d love to see what kind of cap wizardry Geelong is up to.

You’d be jealous, their players take unders to player down there. It’s part of their culture of nearly 20 years.

Would eliminate so much speculation and 3/4 of all Bigfooty threads. Its crazy looking up NBA salaries and some blokes are on $50 million and the fringe players are on $500k. But at least its transparent

 

[Abdul_The_Bull]

Disagree personally

He’s the worst of the worst

His “Everyman” bullshit only works when you’re not a vile piece of shit

Notwithstanding that, this still holds true for me. Rather Robbo than Lyon, Lewis, et al.

Huh?

Footy is 100% why I watch 360

I watch on Mondays hoping Fly will be on. To see who the Monday hero is, to listen to them talk about us after a win
I watch on Tuesdays hoping Howe or Josh Daicos will be on, to hear who their Tuesday love is and to hear them talk about us after a win

VERY few people would be watching for the dynamic between Gerard and Robbo. Unless it's some morbid excuse to see how stupid Robbo can be or drunk he is?

Didn't it already come out they're doing the dodgy with Cotton On or something?

If AFL360 were instead hosted by the presenters of Sunrise (for example) - and be the same in every other way - would you have the same level of interest in the program?

Me neither.

People like drama.

Saying that people watch AFL360 for the footy is like saying people watch Clarkson, Hammond and May for the cars.

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

Great speeches from these two

"It's going to be great looking from afar". Mic drop.

I started watching 360 precisely BECAUSE they were very much focused on football and not other stuff

If anything, Robbo and his bullshit got me watching less frequently over the years

I like Gerard, a lot. He was always the best part of 360 and clearly Fox Footy feel the same because they're getting rid of Robbo. Coaches don't like Robbo, players don't like Robbo, viewers (with taste) don't like Robbo.

Just a bunch of terrible choices

The difference is that AFL 360 is marketed as a serious talk show, whereas Top Gear is marketed as light hearted entertainment.

That and the Top Gear crew are actually funny.

3 of the B&F top 5 are walking out of a club that finished last with two wins. Nice.
