SEN's patience with Mark from Bacchus Marsh has gone. Whoever he calls these days is just waiting for him to say something off tap and grilling him for it.

Netballer on at 10:56pm talking about how the girls 'like to try different positions rather than being nailed in one spot'
No, it would have been one of the Vixens girls during the Superwomen Live program that is part of Global Day on Sunday nights.
thanks ben.
re: the bolded bit, why was she talking about Easter?
i reckon sen love him calling in. it gets people talking and other callers commenting.
Just listening to the run home, Mark and Ox were hanging shit on some minister making mistakes at a State of origin lunch. Next second Mark introduces Fatty Vatuin and says "big game of rugby leauge coming up, think it's tommorow night".

haha lawl.
hate it when people refer to rugby league as rugby.
Happy Birthday Finey
happy bday viney
I don't get it?
There is a big game of rugby league coming up and it is tomorrow night?
They just gave it to a bloke for not knowing a sport. Then he says I think it's on tommorow. Probably should just say it's on tommorow.I don't get it?

Does anyone know the link or search terms that North Melbourne supporter who rang up yesterday to The Run Home about him microwaving his membership? Wanted to see.
Oh is that all?
I don't think that's really bad. I occasionally forget what day of the week it is and so even though I know that something is on 'Wednesday', I'd have to think if that was tomorrow or the next day etc.
I'd be far more annoyed if they said 'rugby'.
Hungry for Demons and Ducks on Curmudgeon Tuesday
Mark Murphy has a bung shoulder and won’t play for up to twelve weeks. I think Murphy’s loss is too big for the Blues to overcome; he’s an absolute star. Carlton’s midfield strength revolves around two elite players and plenty of foot-soldier support. The onus is now on those players to step up individually and collectively. The Blues will be hoping that there is a resolve in that on-ball group and maybe a hidden gem revealed. The next two weeks against Melbourne and Port Adelaide gives the club breathing space to experiment and gain confidence and momentum. The litmus test will be the following round against Geelong. On the Friday night the full ramifications of Murphy’s loss will be revealed. I’m KB, that’s my Take
One of the two cranky Tuesday curmudgeons begins by kicking dirt in the face of – Melbourne! Putz wants to know if Don McLardy is president of Essendon or West Coast. … Putz references Caro’s article on the way the Dees selected Neeld. Schwab declared the side would be very competitive. … Then he references Roos for calling out the players for not playing for the coach. … He then tags McLardy for alleging the players told him there is no issue with Neeld when last year the players told him there were many issues with coaching, and that led to Bailey getting the chop. Putz refutes the idea that the players would openly be telling Super Pres McLardy how they feel because of the previous results of being frank and honest. Smith is becoming ferocious on the Demons and even tags more of the McLardy spin that was waffled on TV last night.
Talkback begins with the continuing lynching of all that is red and blue. Brutal.
KB continues to play devil’s advocate for Melbourne but Putz is in agreement with the caller suggesting the old boy’s club mentality is alive at Melbourne. … Dave from Brighton is another Dees’ fan in total agreement with Putz’s suggestion that McLardy is in denial. … Jonathon from Richmond calls out Neeld for being naïve in his thinking after saying in the pre-season that Melbourne would be a team that everyone feared and then copying the Collingwood game plan and went the opposite of Bailey. KB plays Brad Scott audio probably in the hope and change idea that a little diversity might broaden the show. No luck as the belting continues without any abatement whatsoever. Putz sees the ramifications of the Neeld shake-up being reflected on the field … Putz reiterates the people inside the club have to take responsibility for where the Dees are at the moment. The people like Schwab have to come out and explain what on earth is happening. It’s not for Neeld to shoulder everything.
Mensa Talkback Society appearance curtesy of some chap trying to use The Mighty Ducks movie as an analogy for what Mark Neeld needs to do. Yes, a fictitious plan to correct the current fictitious plan used by the 2012 Demons. KB and Smith break into hysterics as the “Ducks fly together” audio from the movie symbolizes the flailing wounded duck plight of Melbourne FC. … Yes it's come to this.
Finally a change of subject as Smith is rightfully miffed at Ben Johnson being interviewed on Eddie J. McGuire’s show simply for the fact that you wouldn’t believe a single thing Johnson says. Putz ends the hour by lambasting our state politicians for their varying ineptness, particularly pouring money into jumps racing.
Putz Rants on Melbourne:
I think you’ve got to recognize the fact you’re zip and eight; you’re more than likely be zip and eleven and he says the club’s not in crises. Try telling that to the supporters of Melbourne that the club is not in crises. … If he [McLardy] thinks that club is not in crises he is simply in denial. … [T]hat’s going against exactly all the things Melbourne told you pre-season. All the reasons they got rid of Bailey. Because they had a good list that was going to do something quite substantial this year and they needed a change of coach. I think that’s a cop out. I really do; to say it’s the players. Don’t forget, this is a club three or four years ago that was tanking to get draft picks! Don’t have to tank now … [W]hether he [Neeld] was too brutal I’m not sure but to claim that they’re trying to build a defensive game and when you see their defensive skills, they’re nonexistent.
Boy, the bearded curmudgeon sure was grumpy today.
And Brad Scott needs to thank Mark Neeld big time.Gibberish of the Week: Michael Malthouse
Double M audio: Wouldn’t it be a common sense rule to say ‘look he was going to play on. Hunt’s done the right thing; I didn’t have a chance to call play on.’ In a game like that pull it back and say let’s have common sense rule. ‘Go back and have your kick from there.’
Malthouse again proves why he should still be coaching and not in the media or anywhere near the rules as the law of unintended consequences is foreign to him. No wonder he's a Barry Obama fan.
I don't get it?

Hugh Delahunty(Minister for Sport) in the Origin Lunch on Monday. Made 4 gaffes in hes speech.
1. He called Rugby League "Rugby"
2. He said it was between Qld and New Zealand then quickly said New South Wales
3. He called the Capt of NSW. Paul Cullen but he is called Paul Gallen.
4. He called it State of the Origin, not State of Origin.

regarding the run home and RL/mistakes etc. shouldnt have said tomorrow night. its more evening.
Hungry for S.O.O. – NOT!
State of origin is dead and buried in the AFL. The game can’t make up its mind on its relevance – can’t even figure out when it should be played. It has no fixed date: before the season, mid-season, end of season are scenarios on the table. When can’t even work out who plays who. Victoria, WA, South Australia, Allies, Indigenous All-stars are all in the mix. Rugby league has no such problems. State of origin makes way for no one. It’s simple, New South Wales takes on Queensland; the competition’s biggest games. They love it; so much that they play it three every year. The players crave for it, fans adore it, and the game salivates over it. It’s bigger than the NRL competition itself. And that’s why it will never work again in the AFL.I’m KB, that’s my Take
LeBaron-Ralph joined KB to cackle about State of Origin, a daily Melbourne F.C. trashing, Robbie Warnock’s status, Luke Hodge’s physical status, the Kangas crappy status, and Jack Riewoldt’s finger-pointing and scoreboard-watching status.
Another Mensa pro sports economist enlightens SEN talkback with yet another stunningly inept, useless, and yet again clueless proposal for SOO in the AFL: Seventeen games for the year which eliminates the uneven draw, have two byes, and have three state-of-origin weeks, and voilá – the Utopia Football League. KB promptly takes a well-used blowtorch to the idea. … KB agrees with other callers that this AFL SOO thing is dead!
Garry McIntosh was as tough and mean as he looks.
If a young single Garry McIntosh had ever met the most beautiful woman in the world and she introduced herself as “Victoria,” he would have told her to piss off there and then. No-one hated Victorian football more than this bloke and he would tell anyone that would listen. He hated Victorians and everyone wanted Kermit Bretheraton to whack him. SOO died when the passion-fuelled days of McIntosh ended and the true essence of professionalism started. Today’s players with McIntosh’s ability and passion go where they’re drafted.
Deck the Tony Halls with Injury
Fitzroy’s bright start to the 1992 season was greatly due to Richard Osborne who averaged 4.9 goals from a staggering 65 scoring shots, 5.3 marks, and 14.5 possessions through the first eight games. After a 5-3 start to the season, Osborne missed six games after the SOO clash he was never the same as the Roys finished the season on a 4-10 losing run. The next year it would be the great Paul Roos who missed five games after the SOO weekend where the Vics played twice in five days!
Mark Murphy out for a dozen games; now imagine Judd and/or Gibbs getting hurt in an SOO? The outcry would be deafening.
State of Origin? It’s over. The end!
Rant of the Day
North Melbourne since that Geelong game have been very disappointing. They played Sydney the following week with no Goodes and no Mumford. We all thought they were going to cream the Swans; they lost badly up there. The Bulldogs beat them. Most people thought that was a very winnable game for North Melbourne. I saw them on the weekend against Port Adelaide, of all clubs. Five goals up; they needed six goals kicked against them in the last ten minutes or so. Port Adelaide did that. They’re in some sort of crisis, North Melbourne. … I made the comment after they played the West Coast Eagles that I thought the Kangaroos were whingeing about the high tackles and the wriggling out of the West Coast Eagles' players instead of saying ‘you know what, out tackling was disgraceful and our players need a foot up the backside because everything we did was crude, it was a silly tackle, and if we don’t improve;’ concentrate on things that are important to your club, not hairy-fairy stories about people wriggling out of tackles and, you know, ‘we were hard done by.’ Took their focus away from the defeat!
- KB on another Roo shoot.
Hungry for ... um ... Love
Now the 25th of July 2007 was a momentous day for the Essendon Football Club for two reasons. Firstly, it was the day Sheedy got the tap on the shoulder ending his twenty-seven-year reign at Windy Hill and secondly, it was the day Jobe Watson was given the opportunity to remain in the red and black. Sheedy wanted him out of the joint for a decent trade. Since that day Watson has gone on to become a multiple best and fairest winner and an elite midfielder in the competition. He has bucked the trend of being six-foot-two and rune like the wind. If you can work hard and get the footy, well, there is still a place for you in the AFL.I’m KB, that’s my Take
KB’s cuckoo clock at home (yes he really has one) strikes the hour of eleven which means Rosie Emery’s “Busy, Buzzing Bee” tune segues the return of Jon LeBaron-Ralph into the Punt Road Genie’s world of sports shtick. Rosie is quickly replaced by the signature buzzing sound that JLR’s wife apparently claims is a humming bird and not a bee. It still sounds more like a big ugly blowfly to me. LeBaron-Ralph is looking for an end to the most woeful introduction song ever attributed to any media personalty in the world. Fat chance. Now birds chirping are mixed with the buzzing and JLR is a little miffed and frustrated with KB.
Today’s subject is love for players and Lenny Hayes gets JLR’s affection. These HUN journos must sit around in a group session at the start of the week and come up with something they can all use as filler for their numerous weekly media gigs. Rubbo was on AFL360 with the same crap.
O.K., they chop and change on the player/coach love-in stuff without much substance before KB straightens up the show by targeting the Channel Seven scheduling of GWS vs. Essendon on Saturday night when the Crows and Pies on Foxtel is the marquee game of the round. LeBaron-Ralphy tries to set KB straight as to how this happens but the Tiger Genie is not so ready to accept the business side of how this happens. This scheduling issue is at the heart of why Monday Night Football on free-to-air television died in the USA.
Jonny get attacked by a naïve caller in regards to the TV scheduling and he has to repeat how it works and of course the caller (probably a Pies fan) doesn’t get it as he just doesn’t want to understand. JLR impressively keeps his poise and continues to explain how it works again as KB keeps prodding. A couple of cognizant callers back up LeBaron-Ralphy as KB eventually comes around.
I must say this “love” for players and man-crush stuff is a little troubling as a topic. It reminds me of a footy publication cover with the shirtless players under the headline “Hot Stuff.” Yeah, like fellas were going hand a copy of that to the hot chick at the counter and get the stink eye with their change.
The cacophony of sound effects is joined by boiling water which signifies Mark Stevens “Hard Boiled” column at the Herald Sun’s on-line site. KB continues with his strong overtone of derision for all this digital pass stuff. The SEN panel operator now has a little sound effect for every one of these HUN journos, too. The best coaches in the media are the likes of Bucks, Sheeds, the Scotts and, of course, Mark Neeld (5) because they give the journos something to work with; and the worst are the smiling assassin, the horse, I Primus, Vossy, Ratts, and Hirdy because they’re too darn smart for the paid jock sniffers.
Enter to the fray – the TV sports economist expert by the name of Michael:
In terms of Monday night footy I was thinking … what do you think if they put one of the derbies – coz they have two derbies every year – on Monday night and televise them live into Melbourne. See you could have one from Perth, one from Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney, and then maybe a couple of games from Melbourne. So six, maybe six games on a Monday night?
Oh dear! Hurry up cuckoo clock!
Not-that-there's-anything-wrong-with-that Quote of the Day:
Who do you love from another club because Jonny [LeBaron-Ralph] has the hots for Lenny Hayes?

Thanks! Agree with P North that no-one gives a stuff about errors.
well yes and no. i was trying to convey that when people make glaring mistakes on sen/radio these days they just laugh about it.
in days of yonder they would be dragged over hot coals to ensure it doesnt happen again.
but i also see your POV, no one really gives a shit about it
Thanks! Agree with P North that no-one gives a stuff about errors.
