That's right. Mitchell is close too. Now we're going to draft talent so it gives Ooze long term success. I reckon he'll be smart enough to do it.

For a host of reasons I can not stand Whateley. I actually reckon he's a really dangerous person. Has strong personal agendas, motives and biases that he hides very very well a lot of the time. He's like a Hillsong-Scott Morrison type imo. A sneaky, weaseling, disingenuous power gatherer. However, if for nothing else he can at least string 2 words together.
To that end, maybe he will replace that absolute brain dead amateur Brian Taylor when it comes to calling a few games at 7. I still can't get over how badly that blow hard fat neck called the GF on Saturday. Mistake after mistake after mistake.
At least with Whateley he'll get the players and coaches and team names right, and be able to tell what's a goal and what's not.

But will he be able to tell us which goal post the kicker.should be aiming at when they go for goal. Incredibly valuable addition to my enjoyment of the game....
Yeah, he's smarter than Taylor, but he's got a tinny calling voice.....and seems a bit narcissistic considering how many times he replays his own commentating on SEN. If he does go to Ch7, it'll be the end of AFL360.

I am constantly amazed in this country at the bizarre need to try and turn moronic ex footballers into 'in-play' commentators or callers of the game.
Just let them do special comments or analysis (as bad as some of them are at that too) and leave the actual call of the game to a full-on media and speaking professional.
Haven’t watched in years , however always thought it could be a great show if the got rid of the cast members, anytime on the past they had quest hosts it was great
Been a bit of speculation on that, Whateley calls Friday Night on SEN so not sure what would happen there. I haven't listened regularly to SEN for a long time, during the Footy Season on Friday someone would fill in for his morning show.Looks like Wanker might be heading to Ch 7 also.

The Hutchy move is really shaking up the media landscape.
Not before time!

Luke Hodge. Besides all his runnin' and playin' and kickin' and blokes doin' this and blokes doin' that, he also has no actual idea how the game is being played.
15 minutes into the game on Saturday and he was calling out a red alert on Brisbane because in his mind, the Swans were well on top. (I think the Swans were a few points up. Maybe 5 points ?). Anyway, this was despite the fact that the Lions had a truck load of easy possession with little or no pressure, and had missed a few shots. The Lions then kicked another 3 goals for the quarter and he barely said a word for the rest of that quarter - thankfully because the guy ordinarily doesn't shut up.
He's an absolute dud as well Hodge. Can't have him. Thick as a brick.

Hutchty stitched up 9 Media with the radio rights. He brought the radio rights from the AFL and then onsold them to the various networks. Someone at 9 didn't read the details and you cannot stream the 3AW (owned by Nine Media) broadcast from the AFL app.
I think it is a combination of not selecting the right people and a lack of training.
A number of ex footballers were play commentators and did a great job, Frank Adams, Jack Edwards, Lou Richards, Geoff Leek, Doug Heywood, Bob Skelton, Kevin Bartlett and Jack Dyer are some that I remember.
