Snowden and Lees mares will be hard to beat, you got to be in it to win it though.Drew the car park in #9!
Even his article in the paper is the same.Amazing isn't it, when he says this he is acting as if the media is some sort of remote third party. He is part of the media, continually brings this up, and then laments that it is still being talked about. Does he seriously think most people can't see through this?
If you don't want this to be the big issue, don't make it the big issue. Riewoldt just batted it away but it was Robbo and no-one else who raised Hardwick's private life as a topic in that interview above.

Can't wait for tonight's show. Got the feeling that Mince is really gonna have a crack at what he thinks the game needs where more rule changes are concerned. Let's face it, we need more changes. Game is in disastrous shape. Think he might want 10 minute quarters and no tackling. Think he's looking to get on more AFL committees.
Wouldn't be like Whateley to be whingeing about something would it...It's not the TV stations that are complaining about the length of the game is it? I thought it was just media plonkers like Whateley and Robbo that were whining (and doing Gil and SHocking's bidding).
I must be a Neanderthal when it comes to the fast forward function button.. On SBS catch up the ads seem to be unskipable... But that's when I catch up on PRE.Back in '95, the big wigs from Foxtel visited my ad agency to spruik the new service.
While there was lots of hubris surrounding its launch, Australians at the time were really sceptical about paying for content that was previously free. From the pollies (anti-siphoning legislation) to the advertising industry (will the audience be there and what will be its quality?) to the ordinary punter (it costs how much?), Foxtel was starting from a long way back.
It was really only when Galaxy fell over a few years later that Foxtel found its feet but it's never been an easy road for subscription TV in this country.
Anyway, I asked just one question at the presentation back in '95: after the two year moratorium on advertising had passed, would Foxtel begin showing ads?
No, came the reply. If we did that, we'd lose our competitive advantage. Hmm ...
In Australia, we're not accustomed to paying for broadcast content if we have to watch ads, too. It's a kind of double-dipping and the audience here doesn't like it.
Aussies have embraced catch-up TV, in part, because they can skip through the ads. Catch-up perfectly meets the needs of most Australians. If there is one thing we don't like, it's being pissed on and told it's raining.
As an adman, I can tell you it's getting harder and harder to reach our audiences. As a punter, I love being able to sidestep the ads!
I think you'll find fast forward only works on delay, so if you pause a program for say 5 minutes at the start while you read PRE you can FF during the ads to gradually catch up.I must be a Neanderthal when it comes to the fast forward function button..

No, I think the ads on SBS Catch Up are not able to be fast forwarded or skipped, I know I've looked and haven't succeeded. Similarly all the copyright warnings on a DVD r Blu-Ray often can't be fast forwarded or skipped.
Maybe I'm a bit Neanderthal too!

If you can't skip the ads I find the mute button is great. Cuts out the shouting and stupid banter so you can think about other things.
