I'll do it.

Done, it's only paying $500,000 a year. So I'm not sure if you're still keen. :)
Re: Football Commentators
Sorry. I meant tell him.
"Brian, old son, your schtick, well, it's just not buttering the parsnips any more. They've sent me from upstairs to say yada yada yada."

Ah. That's a free job. It's not a job if you love what you do though.
Re: Football Commentators
How about if you'd pay to do it?
Then it's a hobby I suppose.

Probably.
But You've opened up a wound from 20 years ago. My year 9 teacher and I never saw eye to eye, she detested me for some reason. Feeling was mutual. Anyhoo, I had to do a report about my hobby. I did it on footy umpiring, as I'd do 5 games a weekend, I loved it, it was my hobby, I literally had no real hobby because it dominated everything in that period of my youth. She said, you get money so it's a job. I said no, I do it as it's my hobby, money is incidental. I got threatened with a fail because I refused to change what my hobby was. Surely money for something you do doesn't define what a hobby is or is not. My mum didn't always back me up on my battles, but this one she did. I think my argument was 'to avoid failing you would rather me lie about what my hobby is then tell the truth because it doesn't align with your philosophical view on what constitutes the term 'hobby' ?'
Wouldn't lie. Got failed.

You should track down that teacher and sue them for everything that's gone wrong in your life when you've tried to tell a lie ever since.
Re: Football Commentators
I think the callers at Fresh FM in Bendigo are fantastic. They call the Bendigo Footy League games and can be heard via the TuneIn app. Pretty sure this is where Anthony Hudson started.
Re: Football Commentators
Cheers GHOGH Tunein is my favourite app. I'm listening to cricket on it now.
Re: Football Commentators
According to Basil Zempilas, Aaron Naughton is having a stand-out Debut year this year. He mentioned it once in the pre-game against the Giants and once during actual game commentary.
BT has somehow recruited "Brock" McLean to our list.
Seriously, how do these guys keep their jobs?

McLean was everywhere yesterday according to BT since he kept calling Duryea Mclean.
Re: Football Commentators
When Dickson kicked our first did Basil say the Giants are off to a great start?
Re: Football Commentators
Why are these continual fark-ups even remotely acceptable? Basil Zempilas once interviewed Leon Cameron pre-game thinking he was Bulldogs coach. BT calls Allir Allir Majak Daw in a game despite North not even playing. Leigh Matthews is a senile old bastard who says nothing of note (hence why he fits in seamlessly on Ch 7).
That level of stupendous incompetence would be grounds for dismissal for most of us, but these pricks and that piece of shit network are never held to account for levels of incompetence that should never see the light of day.
I hate it when we are the Ch 7 game.

Yes. Yes he did.
Almost as though it was wishful thinking.

Somehow Wallis will be back next week. Maybe we have sown on a new ankle and he is ready to go.
