Its been much better with others on it
Like Dunstall. Can’t stand King.

Sure - I won’t argue that but King does offer some actual analysis and give you an insight into the game - most of the commentators don’t do that

Yes true.
He picked the Dogs to win.

I usually love your work BR but can't agree with this - the GW/MR relationship has a good ebb and flow/point-counter point that has been missing with the replacement hosts...
That said, my only thoughts about Robbo are that he is OK.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

I hope they spend a minute Cordy two in the next couple of weeks talking about us…

But Robbo takes so long to get to his bloody point. If GH wasn’t there to finish his sentences it would take forever.
He has this enormous rhetorical wind up to make a rather obvious point. It’s mind numbing.

Re: AFL 360 - A Running Commentary
360 was really good tonight, like Adam Simpson and Brett Ratten tonight.
On the Couch is a Melbourne fest, poor old Gary Lyon is doing whatever he can to keep a lid on things and mentioning Bevo and the Dogs as often as he can in response to the creaming the other guys are getting into.
Bring it on.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

How good was the possible Premiership T-Shirt. We need to win just so I can buy a couple.

You’re spot on with On the Couch. An absolute joke. We’ve been given no more than 30 seconds air time. In fact they’ve spent more time referencing that they will get to the Bulldogs, and when it looks like they might be about to give us some time they launch straight back to Melbourne. Jonathan Brown, Nick Riewoldt and Lyon are downright terrible.
As the show is wrapping up (thank god) they’ve just given Hannan’s ( ex Demon) performance a very brief plug, and the close it by saying he plays like Fritsch.

Yep, a lot of media narrative from the weekends games has been
Melbourne V Geelong = how good is Gawn and Melbourne?
Dogs V Power = Why were Power mentally weak and didn't turn up, oh not taking anything away from the bulldogs.. but how bad were the power?
More of an In Bruges guy?

Lots of 'Geelong may have had 6 that were sick but it's not an excuse' and 'Bulldogs were good, but how bad were Port'
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Re: AFL 360 - A Running Commentary
Us beating the Lions at home and Port at home in front of their crowds is the story of the season so far.
If Melbourne had of beaten the Cats at Kardinia Park by 12 goals, after travelling 8 hours and not being able to train before a prelim, then maybe they could compare.
Neutral ground not the same, in fact it sounded pretty much like a Melbourne home game.
Melbourne were awesome though but they won't be doing that to us.
