Congratulations Mark Stevens

[Eastdog]

What if I'm a religious politician at an annual brothel awards dinner on official business?

That’s a tough one

[Sedat]

I too am ready for a sedat rant

Feeling pretty zen tonight. Cats are getting hammered and I can't even gripe with the usually garbage ch 7 coverage, as Jason Bennett is doing that strange thing of effective play-by-play commentary with a minimum of fuss.

Stevo is still a young man with a young family, and who has just recovered from a significant cancer scare - some of the comments on here are downright bizarre, pretty distasteful and quite unhinged at best. I hope he finds happiness and enjoyment in his new role.

It seems that some people are more passionate about their political affiliations than their footy team, which I personally find very strange. Even stranger is feeling the need to parade these affiliations like it fervently matters on a footy fan site.

Then enjoy yourself, and repent afterwards. Taste that sweet, sweet absolution.

I worry for Jason. How long until he is mainstreamed into the horrible, superficial cult of channel 7?

Good luck to Mark Stevens in his new role.

Never talk about politics, sex or religion at work or at a function.

A function is just about the only place I'd talk about politics, sex or religion Easty.

As for Stevo, political affiliations aside, I don't think I could put myself in his shoes and say I'd be able to what he's doing one way or another as political expediency would completely trump transparent and quality messaging on either side of the political divide.

Perhaps he's wanting a change, and perhaps what he's changing towards shows just how superficial AFL media and crony oriented reporting has become. Ch7 is the official mouthpiece of the AFL, perhaps he got sick of the BS.

Zen with a dash of clarity

Good luck to him. It will be a challenging role to say the least.

If you're wanting to move away from a crony oriented career path, not sure working for either of our two major political parties is a good choice.

Believe it or not, BT was an excellent play-by-play commentator when he was on Fox Footy circa 2011. Then he was ch 7'ed.

Well that's kind of what I'm getting at.

No ‘oh boy woweee Mick Turner footy factory’ back then?

Being 'Ch 7'ed' is very much like a pop music executive. 'Hmmm I love how you are passionate about constructing sentences analysing the game but our research indicates the fans love you screaming *insert word/catchphrase here* every two minutes.

Ah maybe I should read and comprehend.

The ch 7 playbook revolves around the commentators being the stars of the coverage and not the players.
