    I reckon Dunstall is pretty good with special comments.

    Watch some of the old games and the special comments were almost non existent. Really an unnecessary part of the broadcast, although I like Jeemak's idea, it could work, but the broadcasters haven't got a clue.

    You are so so sooooo wrong BAD (alas, I am as well). They know the absolute minimum we can tolerate and how that relates to how they broadcast.

    What I was talking about was a complete pipe dream. I'm a dickhead for even thinking about it. It's going to be JB and *!*!*!*!wit number one, two, three and four etc. and we're just going to have to put up with it.

    So basically the only free to air broadcast partner cannot be bothered investing in any weekly content reviewing the game. Ch 7 really are a despicable organisation - the sooner they lose the footy rights the better.

    There was a fair bit of speculation yesterday that is as much of a ploy to get their own way on a few other things

    Problem is whoever gets it the usual patsies will just sign contracts with them.

    Who was the ex Footscray player? One night they couldn't come back to the studio so he had to do a relay from the Western Oval. We had had a rare win and when they threw to him he was covered in red, white and blue confetti.
