I think this has been done over more than Nicky - the discarded partner may think they’re owed something - but they’re in fantasyland.

Brownless is an absolute relic, whose style was still 'accepted' in the early 2000s (at latest). Can't for the life of me figure out what 'value' he adds to the AFL media. Neither articulate, nor intelligent, nor interesting, or funny. You've got to be at least one of these.

Yeah, some of us still think marriage means something.
They weren't together at the time.
Look, I think what Lyon did was a crap thing to do to a friend, but there wasn't cheating involved. You can be married and also separated, there's a legal cooling off period of separation.
I like Whateley, he's one of the few AFL journos who engages his brain before his mouth and doesn't just shout stuff for controversy. Doesn't make himself the centre of a story (hello, McClure/Wilson/Cornes).

So we can keep Dunstall who ticks all the boxes and get rid of Brereton, Lewis, Hodge and the truly awful Dixson?

These guys actually have a football IQ. Not hard to figure out you're a hawthorn hater.

agree. I can't imagine being around him 24/7, as he's constantly cerebral. But agree, never makes himself the centre, and doesn't pretend he actually played (Tom Morris, Sam Maclure).
And unlike most footy journos (including Morris, Maclure and Wilson) didn't have family connections to get where he is.
Not the point of the thread but why anyone feels sorry for Bill is beyond me. Had been separated for some time and was not immune to the odd or regular betrayal of his marital vowels. The only thing that made it newsworthy was that it was his mate that she went to

Well of course you’d like Whateley, he’s a Geelong supporter like yourself.

No idea what they see in Garry Lyon. Offers nothing, tends to be conflicted, has a boring, monotone voice and by all reports is just an all round flog.

Yeah no idea. Fake enthusiasm, snake of a person. Probably knows how to grease up the right balls

Get Kane Cornes on there.
Hès the only campaigner that isn't afraid to really say it how it is and makes things entertaining.

The same Kane Cornes that just signed a big deal with 7?
I don’t like Brownless or Newman as commentators, it’s much more a personality thing.
Same boring shit. Coaches night, Players night its all crap.AFL 360 has become, Needs 2 new people coming in and some others getting the flick, King and Montagne should be the first 2 out the door
Then again make the Midweek Tackle go for 90 mins, the best footy show on Fox Footy now
Also If guests are not there in person, don’t have them on
He doesn’t say what he thinks, he says what he thinks will get clicks. Stupid people thinks he actually means what he says.
I disagree with that. I believe that he does say what he thinks - but he makes sure to commit to every opinion as completely as possible.
Lyon and Whateley will be a boring dynamic. It will feel like the show has co-hosts, whereas in the past the draw for me has been Gerard hosting and Robbo reacting while drunk and belligerent. Lyon is also just nowhere near as entertaining as Robbo.

Will miss Robbo going on a slurred ramble and then emphasising "PASSION!" or "HUNGER!"

yes he does. he says what he thinks. When he's asked a question, he says what he thinks.
He says what others t are too afraid to say also.
If he thinks a team are shit he says it, if he thinks someone should retire he says it, if he thinks are player is overrated or over payed he says it.
It's what he thinks. Other people don't say it because they don't want to ruffle feathers and are too concerned about being liked by everyone in the industry.
campaigner says what he thinks then backs it up.
Stupid people think he invents his point view and opinion for click bait. He doesn't have to invent anything he just isn't afraid to say what he thinks where others won't because it may go against the status quo or harm their image/brand. Easier to play it safe and keep everyone happy.
