The worst presenter on SEN- Mark Allen and then the rest?

[Linda_Lovelace]

Francis Leach is the worst by a mile, stopped listening due to his BS and now he is back?

FFS the bloke seems problems with everything, is Tim Lane like in his calls for the game to be made into touch footy and brings his bullshit political views into it all the time. Mornings of SEN are gone, Maher was a fool but largely harmless, Leech is a shit stirring dog whistler.

How on earth does Andy Maher hang onto a radio job. Clearly the breakfast ratings were shizen houzen yet he gets another gig doing his usual shtick of shouting at listeners and talking over other contributors. Must have pictures.

Missed a golden opportunity to finally put the "famous" KB and his whinging, moaning mates Smith and Denham out to pasture. Same tired old schtick. Utter crap.

They are great if you appreciate trolling.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

How the hell does Mark Allen get another gig? He's simply horrendous.

 

[HBF]

Beggars belief that they have kept maher and Allen on board

At least we don't have to put up with Gaze anymore.

 

[Jesse Custer]

Why is Leach leaving ABC so soon? Just glad Maher and Gaze is gone from the mornings. To be honest i prefer listening to Red Symons on ABC

 

[peternorth]

after reading many online forums (are there any other types) i started to wonder why politics is brought into this with leach re-re-returning. focus must be on he as a presenter/host/sports nut, not political persuasion. if we want political stance as a prerequisite for a job at sen it defeats the very purpose of a liberal democracy. i'm sure every person on each sports radio station/footy coverage has a political leaning.

 

[The Punter]

On politics, Andrew Gaze was considered as a possible ALP candidate for Albert Park, and Maher admitted that "Jeff Kennett's politics weren't my cup of tea" the other day during a story about him.

Not to mention the fawning regular interview with Daniel Andrews.

I would have thought what would have kept Leach away from SEN is the constant commercialism. Working with Schwarz means it will be Leach who will have to do the live crosses with Sportsbet or any other betting agency.

Best - Daniel Harford
Worst - KB. He does get me to laugh a bit when he pumps up Richmond but he is just so out of touch with every other sport. Hearing him talk about the UFC was just so bad.

I'm pretty happy with the line up. The morning team needed to be fixed and we get Harf in 'primetime'.

They must be paying KB rates that were acceptible back in the 60's and he is just too damn old to realise.

another example of the amateurism that is rife in the industry. an informed, educated and professional presenter/host would not allow politics to enter into the show, a show about sport. of course there's a time and place for that.

reading various posts on the sen facebook page, words like lefty, leftist, PC, do gooder......really? that's what social discourse has become. ignore the fact that leach is a polished performer who knows enough about various sports, and if he doesnt would take time to research.

 

[The Punter]

I've never heard Leach bring his politics into any broadcast related to sport, and as those who follow him on Twitter would know, he has some very strong political beliefs.

He has a great chemistry with Schwarz and I'm very much looking forward to hearing them in the mornings.

i also recall he and ox having great rapport.

Yeah they really did, although Ox and Marco have decent banter as well.

I have been going to work later with the main reason being to avoid the MG segment (also traffic is much less). Having these two back on in the morning will probably lead me to going in earlier again. Also it avoids KB and his group who are starting to get on my nerves as well

 

[Dogs Rule]

Brett Phillips or Kevin Hillier for mornings.

 

[Borussia Teeth]

Why not give Tristan Fernando or one of the overnight people a go during the daytime, even if it's just over summer?

 

[jaydee2323]

Thank god Gaze is gone. No knowledge of sport, no opinion and no ability to construct a fluent sentence. Funny how a few weeks ago he was laughing about how little the Fox basketball special comment guys were getting paid yet get's the tap on the shoulder from SEN and back he goes.

Yeah he and Ox were really good together. I'm looking forward to no longer listening to Luke Darcy on MMM in the mornings as I now will have an alternative.

Dream for Ox, early run in so no traffic from Barwon Heads and then all day to play golf after he is done!

That is if he can handle the horrendously early alarm

I find the overnight guys much better. Fine is terrible.

 

[Gordo85]

Don't mind Leach as he has a brain and sporting knowledge. But the rest seems like shuffling deckchairs on the Titanic.

Get some new blood.

 

[Lethality]

Whenever Mark Allen reports footy scores from non-SEN games I always get the impression he isn't really at work, he's at the footy of his own accord or at a bbq somewhere and SEN pay him 50 bucks to be interrupted and give footy scores. He brings a similar casual cbf semi-professional attitude to the 'show' on SEN.

 

[BRWB]

Will be very surprised if Leach's sycophantic girlish giggle isn't grating on all and sundry. Also his general smarmy smugness will also annoy when he condescends to the callers.

But having said that Francis Leach is a massive improvement on Gaze and Maher

 

[peternorth]

have the MG guys talked about this shake up?

Maher hasn't turned up today.
