AFL 360 - A Running Commentary
Thought I would start a running commentary from night to night. Great show.
Tonight, Eade open to coaching Melbourne.

Bobby having a pot at Riewoldt (tigers) for ducking. Good to hear the players calling out this stuff.

Will make things interesting this weekend I'm sure...

Re: AFL 360 - A Running Commentary
Thank god for Gerard. Robbo siding with Milne.... Give it to him Gerard.

Re: AFL 360 - A Running Commentary
Robbo is just a big footy poster in a cheap ill fitting suit. They could replace him with anybody (outside of the other members of the Fox Footy team) and the combined IQ would go up.

Yep. Just a tool. I was surprised King and Archer were so strong for Milne, and King had a go at Gerard.

Yep, unable to watch that show because of him.

The players and ex players really stick up for each other, all across the media.

Re: AFL 360 - A Running Commentary
Leon Cameron replacing Rodney Eade on 360.
Good choice by the producers, from my prospective anyway.

Re: AFL 360 - A Running Commentary
How good was that Melbourne FC video with Jack Watts!
And Watts holding the kids hand out of the race and onto the ground. Seems a very decent person.

I've had dealings with Watts on this level before and he is truly a remarkable person off of the field.

Re: AFL 360 - A Running Commentary
52 minutes in tonight. Preliminary Final weekend with just the one Prelim final and not two was a bold move. I’m pumped for Melbourne breaking the drought and this amazing Geelong side. Not sure who they play next week. But who cares.

I appreciate you suffering so the rest of us don't have to, St BT.

Re: AFL 360 - A Running Commentary
Thought the footage of Jeremy Cameron commenting on the last few minutes of our Semi final was brilliant though!

I found some additional footage of it.

Re: AFL 360 - A Running Commentary
I have been recording it each night this week, so I can watch later and skip through the bits I don't want to watch.
Three nights so far they have spoken about us for no more than a few minutes, in total. They did have Wood on yesterday live from Perth, but that is it. No doubt David king will run through the games tomorrow night and tell us how great Port are

Was the same for most of the season, and most definitely with On The Couch. We were on top and all they’d talk about is Melb.
Anyway… they’ll have to mention us more next week when we’re 50% of the teams left!

It'll be all about how much of a shock Melbourne's loss was and that nobody saw it coming.

Did you watch Monday night? They discussed our win plenty.

Defending 360, I though you were Robbo and now you’ve be exposed azarobbo! I’m on to you :D
I did. That retrospect was good. Tuesday we got Wood for a few minutes about the week ahead. Almost nothing last night at all about our game on Saturday. It’s pathetic. I started the thread asking if the narrative around us would change to positive all things considered. Clearly 360 think we are making up the numbers. I guess on Monday they can be (1) astonished we somehow played, and (2) shocked we won, because nobody saw it coming.

360 has become watchable now Robbo is on sick leave.
Honestly I only watch Monday nights as the rest of it is just fluff.
The AGE realfooty podcast irritates me as they spun the same message, Brisbane should have won, Dogs should have lost. Brisbane had injuries' to key players.
Forget about the fact Lions for the second year running had an armchair ride through home ground advantage and no hub (from midway point in 2021) and still got done in straight sets.

I like a toned down Dunstall, and Nick Riewoldt is not bad either.
Not a fan of Jon Brown and Jack Riewoldt though.

Dunstall is the best ex-footballer on TV by a fair margin, imo.

I occasionally get the first minute of ‘bounce’ I don’t switch off quick enough. I’m not a fan of that Dunstall. But the 360 version is great. I have no idea how long Robbo is out for. But if he needed to be permanently replaced, I’d go with Dunstall. With Nick Riewoldt ‘On The Couch’. They should go back to three OTC. Four doesn’t really work in my humble.

The Bounce is the worst footy programme currently on TV

He's completely wasted on that show, it's puerile rubbish now without him and Spud aren't riffing off each other.
I hope he becomes the permanent 360 co-host, too. Fingers crossed Robbo gets healthy and he can take on the Bounce role, more his speed, imo.

It's just not the same without Spud.
The chemistry he had with Chief just can't be replicated.
Man I miss him.

Re: AFL 360 - A Running Commentary
I don't, as a rule, like any of the footy shows. But since we knocked Essendon out, I've been delighting in watching 360 (and On the Couch).
For me it's just about the pleasure of soaking it all in, and building up to the matches. I'm getting maximum enjoyment out of this run that we're having.
I don't care that they under-rate us, or that they pump up the other teams - I can hate watch along with the best of them...
If and when we lose I'll stop watching, but for know it's fun for me at least.

David King is pretty good also
What it highlights is how poor a lot of them are, and whilst not a former player, Robbo may not hold onto his spot on the list next year - delisted and re-rookied might be the best he could hope for
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.

Re: AFL 360 - A Running Commentary
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.

Re: AFL 360 - A Running Commentary
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.
