Are any of the fox footy shows any good? I watched an episode of on the couch and those guys don't seem to dabble all that much in hot takes.

Probably just the one with Robbo (who is usually drunk) and Gerard Whateley (who is from the ABC) so it's a weird combo

I actually don't mind League Teams, they go into some interesting tactics style stuff.

AFL 360, it's on 4 nights a week, they have some hot takes, some coaches talking tactics, etc

Seconding 360. Whateley is generally quite good and Robbo is ... interesting.

I honestly wonder how long it's going to take before they start subtitling him by default

Video has emerged of Robbo's first interview question as a child ... not much has changed really https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7RgN9ijwE4

Footy is great

AFL360 is great, love seeing Gerard Whateley humouring his drunk uncle four nights a week. Guy has the patience of a mountain.

Footy is great

The Titus O'Reilly podcast is good this week, has Wil Anderson on it and they talk about John Clarke, the Bulldogs, and racism in football, sport, and society

Gerard Whateley on John Faines radio show at 10am on Monday mornings is always very good too, half hour recap of sports.

Paracausal: Sep 5, 2011; Oh yeah, baby. Frame your suffering as a masterpiece. Only one problem - no one's watching. It's boring, buddy, boring as death.

Can't stand Titus. 360 gets grating whenever Slobbo speaks. On the couch would be better without David King and League teams would be better with Derm. Basically footy media is half good. Avoid anything with Damian Barrett or Craig Hutchison.

Weird Sandwich: Dec 28, 2011; FIRE FIRE FIRE hehehehe!

Titus is occasionally funny, but his normal podcast co-host is pretty bad. Since he repeats the exact same jokes on his website and Twitter it's a better use of time to stick to one of those.

Wil Anderson's podcast is probably the best one for football comedy.

Titus' schtick is designed around Twitter, it works well there but suffers in long form

I personally reckon Hutchy and Barrett's podcast is a really good resource for learning about the footy/sport media. They do love to self-congratulate though so you need a fairly strong constitution

I wasn't recommending the Titus podcast in general, I was just saying the episode with Wil Anderson on it was worth listening to

Footy is still great even if your team is poo poo.

At least we won't lose to Geelong by less than a kick on Monday.

They will find a loving way to make it a last second kick from Tom Hawkins. Who will, in true Tom Hawkins fashion, have a ripped jersey.

Yeah probably.

"Gallant performance" yes but still a donut when it comes to premiership points.

oscar mcdonald dropped along with tim smith, sam frost and tom bugg coming in along with spencer in place of gawn.

one thing i really noticed about oscar against geelong (particularly when he found himself next to hawkins) is that he really hasnt put on a lot of size over the preseason, he looked tiny next to geelongs key forwards. granted, most key forwards are bigger than modern key defenders, but the difference was really big.

Frost coming in is very good. Our forward line is going to be pretty small with Smith out and Pederson not coming in...

Also a new set of scans this week finally revealed Jenkins has broken ribs as well as cartilage damage, so Cheap Shot Miles really is shaping up as a worthy successor to Knees Mitchell and Good Bloke Hodge.

JOM out with a knee issue. Hopefully nothing major. As much as I want the Hawks to win the spoon this year I'd prefer it if they did it with a fit JOM.

Noooooo

Edit: apparently just a knock, should be ok. I'm over it, nobody panic.

Yeah, it's nothing to panic about yet, but from what I've read knocks are potentially a real issue if you've had patella tendon injuries like JOM has.
