Re: This maybe controversial but........ I'm almost over Bob.
He is a good lad, one of my favourites and I appreciate that he isn't just a good head footballer. Spreads a bit too much mayo on that shtick though. I hated his articles in the Age, he really flogged his love of Brit-pop and indie rock analogies like a dead horse.

Re: This maybe controversial but........ I'm almost over Bob.
My judgement was made from Bulldog media mainly, I don't to listen to him on SEN because he sits with Andy Maher who is simply an insufferable wanker.

I previously mentioned him at club events but perhaps I just need to hear another voice
Regarding Andy Maher he's a good interviewer because he does his research but he struggles with the comedy side of things

100% this. It's almost as though he is desperate to be defined as a member of the inner city hipster intelligentsia club. And like most members of this unofficial club, he is nowhere near as smart as he thinks he is - does he not realise that his entire media meal ticket comprises mostly of working class in the suburbs who care little for the irrelevant musings of the inner city bubble that he has chosen to hang off the coattails of? His decision to dress up in Melbourne Bitter gear for the Neale Daniher MND ice slide neatly encapsulates him - desperate to look 'cool' in all circumstances, and missing the point completely in the process.
For mine, he is an ordinary media talent who struggles to understand how to most effectively communicate and cut through to as wide an audience as possible. IMO he has a limited appeal and shelf life - he has cast himself as the token indie guy, forever typecast in this role and therefore never to be taken really seriously as a media performer.

If you are try to look cool then you aint cool. It's that simple.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

I agree with the sentiment, but not sure hipster is the right club. The folks you're referring to are well too vanilla to be considered hipster, unless Paul Kelly, Tex Perkins, Tim Rogers and their acolytes have become so vanilla that they are now considered ironically hip!
In the media he's always come across to me as a small doses kind of guy, which is why his weekly articles were OK for something different and the odd spot on TV was good as well.

Re: This maybe controversial but........ I'm almost over Bob.
The collective absorbtion of media personalities can be warts and all. I am cringing a bit at this but agree. It makes me feel my limits too except WOOF and FB are the only media I put myself out there, cringe.

I like Murph. Simple as that. I don't want to over analyze it too much. I just like the guy.

But, but. Now Mitcha will be expecting them.
Way to give the game away Fredi. You've removed the element of surprise. And fear.
I'm gonna stop now or this could get really ugly.

Re: This maybe controversial but........ I'm almost over Bob.
We are so lucky to have Bulldogs who bleed red, white and blue in the media like Bob and Darcy to help champion our cause and help our overall profile.
I don't listen to his show on SEN but enjoy the Podcast and his appearances on Fox Footy.

It's not like he'd be allowed to be himself on SEN or FOX anyway. Much of his schtick would be prescribed on those two outlets, on the podcast he seems a bit less "cool" or less of a novelty.
Note - I refused to continue listening to SEN after they decided the Franco on the Toilet advertisement series was no longer relevant after 2010, when it was clearly timeless.

Re: This maybe controversial but........ I'm almost over Bob.
Noted on twitter last night he got into what seemed a bit of a salty exchange with an ex employee of the club (Damian Glass) saying he 'was entitled to Simon Dalrymple's opinion'
