Rumour Slobbo sacked, Lyon in the box seat

Give the job to Kath

She'd be good. Dunno if she's staying in Perth again this year though

At least Robbo had an opinion.

Gerard Whately is a boring fence sitter.

He quit footy at under 10s and yet is allowed an opinion on the AFL lol

While it's true, I think the AFL media needs someone like Whateley to present things objectively and ask the right questions. There aren't too many ex-footballers who can pull that off.

Plus he's a good foil for someone more "emotional" in their analysis.

I sort of see Whateley a bit like Huddo - well informed and professional.

This is a good point.
He was a twat but had his own opinion AND wasn't just trying to be a shock jock like Cornes.

Problem is though that Whatley just follows the company line.

Kane isn’t in a shock jock though.
He doesn’t care who you are, he calls it as he sees it

Agree that Whately is dull.
He also gets nervous during interviews with heavy hitters.

When interviewing Danger on SEN, he lets Dangerfield get away with a free pass.
Doesn’t ask the tough questions because he’s scared to get Danger offside

Also can someone unmute me in the scandals and rumours thread; new year new me

I've got a good one:
I can exclusively reveal to BigFooty that Rory Sloane will replace Kane Cornes on the Sunday Footy Show!!
