What Brett said on air the other night I think was "I am getting paid". But he didn't say who was paying him. So unless things have changed, the whole thing about raising money through sponsorships on the show might still be right.
His comments the other night were like three weeks after the article Unless anyone has heard different, has he actually questioned what was reported?
The issue I have with Dave is that he harps on about the same issue every night.BTW anyone heard Bartlett's little whiny Xmas send off ,what a pig headed AFL apologist he is.
No, he didn't make it.
Don't know what happened with rest of the gang later on, I just ended up getting home by 2 this morning.

I think it was done to be interpreted as a joke actually.
What happened to BP getting him a taxi so he would come for sure??? I guess you can't force him to go but you would think he would want to....
Unless he looks like a freak...

Solid night last night. Was good to meet a few of the guys, except for some of the nerdy looking ones.

We've all heard Billy's social skills on the radio, no surprises there.
Are you talking about Dave from St Kilda?
True, I suspect Bill just didn't take up the offer.

Mainly the challenged person sporting the homosexual Santa hat pretending he was Mark Fine.
Okay fellas everyones done their best of the year list so here is mine for SEN.
3 Votes - Casual Fridays - ****ing funny, always interesting and Rippa Rita not afraid to say what needs saying. Harf is always solid too and Doran seems to show much more personality when this show is on than he does the rest of the week.
2 Votes - Saturday Spotlight - Great combination of Pickers and Marko, always worth a laugh or two. Amazing how good this show is cause IMHO Marko and Pickers can struggle with other co-hosts but work really well together.
1 Vote - On the Rise - Harf and Richo should have a better time for this show which is much better than what you hear most of the week on SEN. Hope they keep this and saturday spotlight on during the footy season but aint holding my breath.

I thing Bartlett was having a sly dig at callers caning him over the ''in the back'' joke of a rule.Working at Werribee this year Ben?
3 votes saturday spotlight should be on all year maybe shifted to 4-7 pmOkay fellas everyones done their best of the year list so here is mine for SEN.
2 votes morning glory especialy before 8 am
1 votes finey for telling it as it is,but i often dont agree.
must be removed from the sen airwaves
mark doran
francis leach
michael zapone
pat smith and ian cohen
richo gets a repreive as long as he's with harf
3 votes - Saturday Spotlight - the best chemistry between hosts of any show on sen and bloody funny aswell, its like marco and pickers are at a pub and thats what makes it so good
2 - OWAAT - solid show, great knowledge of US sport and also not afraid to get into some good soccer talk, music requests go down a treat
1 - Born In The USA - even if you hate US sport you will still like this show because thats how good it is
honorable mention to crunch time which i thought was a really good show and helped ease the pain of no spotlight during the footy season
SEN Personality Of The Year - Robbo - i hate journos so to have him as my fav guy on sen this year just shows how much i enjoyed his stuff, this bloke loves his footy and isnt scared to say what he thinks, guys like the OX and watson could learn a thing or 10

I think that was one of the OWAAT hosts.
I think Ben is working there again, not sure.
agree 100%
Robbo is a gun, doesn't hold back at all...the 1hr he is on with Doran almost makes his show worthwhile.
Finey also did a great job this year...Finey's final siren was great.

3. votes for Anthony Hudson and anything he does at Sen best of the football callers IMO
2. votes for Fineys Final Siren always worth listening after being at a game , love his arguments with callers.
1.vote for the OX who is much better on SEN than on Seven .
Drop or no votes at all to
Billy Brownless mindless dumb drop kick
Mark Doran doesnt do it for me
To much American sport being talked about like its something we love ,who the hell knows who the San Jose Sharks are and can name a player from their team.

Dont think anyone takes any notice of what you write here .
That screaming guy Milne was even on the Friday night Gladiators show as well last Friday.
They even introduced him as a SPECIAL guest , if they think he is special then they are scraping the barrell .
letting him ruin their show as well with his over the top childish one trick after everyone here pointed out his novelty act has worn off .
Here's my bests for 2007. I reckon I listen to SEN at least 5 or 6 hours a day, provide me with so much entertainment. At times it can be a bit too much AFL, but the mix isn't far off.
Best Show:
Saturday Spotlight: As mentioned by some in this thread before, a terrific show which is almost unmissable these days. Marko and Pickers do a great a job and it's always informative and humourous. Media Watch is just about my favourite segment on radio and these two just get the mix right.
Honourable mentions to On The Rise and Brett Phillips in the afternoons.
Worst Show:
The Good Oil: How Mark Doran still hosts a show that spans four hours is beyond me. It is clear that he is unpopular and the fact that he plays replays for the large majority of his show - Summer Time and Replay of the Day, plus Matt Thompson's half hour sports update means he doesn't really do much anyway. He is shit and has no knowledge besides AFL and Cricket. Extremely annoying.
Nick Slade's three hours of terror with Luke O'Brien a few weeks ago is also well up there.
Best Decision of the Year:
Getting rights for Footy/Cricket: Something SEN needed to do for a while, and with the addition of broadcast rights for AFL and Cricket they have improved big time. Sometimes they can be too AFL based, but without the rights, I'm not sure how SEN would survive now. The calling team for footy is really good. The Cricket is also very entertaining - I didn't think adding Bill Brownless to the team was a good idea, but he was bloody good from the 20/20!
Worst Decision of the Year:
Giving Beva the arse/Getting rid of WSO: Tough to split these two. Getting rid of Beva was a brainfade of mass preportions. A guy who was well-rounded with his sports knowledge, such a rarity at SEN in most guys. Had a terrific program and was one of SEN's best. When SEN decided to stop broadcasting WSO, they made a huge mistake. Thankfully they have rectified that with All Night Sport, largely due to the bad feedback they got. SEN needs to be 24 hours, 7 days a week.
Best Footy Caller:
Matt Granland: An awesome addition to the footy team. I can't get the "Geelong finally are the greatest team of all" out of my head but a superb pick up from 3AW. A really good descriptor of the game play by play and always makes for good listening. Has gone from being a reporter on 3AW to hosting Morning Glory and calling footy. Good move for him.
Best Newcomer:
James Willoughby: This guy is seriously good. Seems knowledgeable on just about every topic and really loves his world game. Starting to pop up on air more and more and has a serious/funny side and mixes it well. Seems he gets alot of praise on here and Andy Maher was pumping him up not long ago on the Morning Glory. I think he's rather young and I think we'll hear a real lot of him in the future on SEN.
Changes you'd like to see in 2008:
Love to see what others say for the same categories. Pretty sad that I've written that much on SEN, shows how much I bloody love the station!!!
