Footy Classified

There was a time when Roosy had stopped talking to Walls because of comments made during 2005 about playing style etc. Recently I heard Walls refer to a conversation with Roosy and I wondered whether they'd patched things up. Seeing Walls refer to how well Swans were going considering their injuries (Bradshaw, Bolton and Seaby) leads me to think that there might have been a thaw in the previously frosty relationship.
That said, I do enjoy OWAAT: we don't get a huge supply of AFL footy shows on FTA. I like Luke Darcy's insights and he usually makes sensible contributions. Quarters gets too caught up in how his Hawks are travelling.
I rang CH 9 last night and asked why Footy Classified was no longer being shown in Sydney (since last year) and was told that they were only using the two digital stations. GO has all the old shows like Seinfeld etc and CH 9 HD is a mirror of the programming on CH 9. I got the impression they would need a third stand alone digital station to show this type of content. Anyway, FWIW, I asked the person to log my call as a complaint that Footy Classified was not being broadcast into Sydney.Comment

Cant stand one week at a time, but watch it anyway. All three of them are fair flogs on that show. On the Couch gave the swans the airtime they deserved, perhaps even more so. All three of Gerard Mike and Hirdy are respected and insightful footy brains. Footy Classified is pretty poor too but good call bad call gets it over the line against OWAAT. Quarters is a dickhead, good call bad call ?Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!Comment

At least you guys get something positive about the Swans on Fox. I am stuck with FTA......and OWAAT and......that show on 72 on a sunday is not altogether horrible......and ,......I miss my fox, and I wouldna bought this unit if I had known the vote to have fox attached had been turned down.....grrrrrr.....If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

The fox shows are much better - On the couch is very good , i dont agree with all of their comments but thats what its all about, there is the show with Dunstall, Scott and Lynch which is okay and another with Mark Robinson and Gerard Whately which is quite good(excuse my spelling if its incorrect). They are all heaps better than the crap served up on the commercial networks. And of course Marngrook which is also pretty good although I have noticed that some of the comments on the swans games when coming from the likes of ronny burns are not researched at all and tend to follow the public perception rather than the reality.Comment

I thought we got a decent run on On The Couch this week too. They started with the decline of the Bulldogs, which is fair enough, but then gave us plenty of air time too. Obviously Gerard Healy has plenty of time for us but I think Sheahan (bless him) and Hird do too. I agree that On The Couch is miles ahead of its opposition.Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

Sheahan has a soft spot for the Swans. His favourite GF was 2005 and he wrote the foreword to Jim Main's In The Blood.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

I wouldn't go that far. Too early to call on Hirdy, he's said some good and some bad, but Mike Sheahan is an idiot and Gerard, well, he's usually OK but has a habit of coming out with absolute rubbish. But they are fair, they don't tend to be too Vic-centric, so I know what you're getting at.

I don't mind Darcy.
Quarts has aleways been a massive tool, and for a long time Eddie's bitch.
He knew what to do to get where he is so good on him.The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment

i went to the hall of fame dinner and mike sheahan was there. I overheard him saying he loves the club hahaLRT. Lord Roberts-Thompson. He may look like the Munster, but looks can be deceiving.
