The highlight was when Murph was talking about picking someone's ears. Made me laugh.

It's a fine line, isn't it? They used to have longer interviews with more substance, but then very little time to talk about other teams/matches. And seeing as Carlton rarely gets people on these shows, it used to drive me a bit bonkers with Sheedy on 3 times a year. Now what they do is give better coverage to other teams/matches, and less time to the interview. They should bite the bullet and get rid of the interview altogether.

It's my favourite footy review show by a fair mile as well.

Mine too, it's entertaining, provocative and often intelligent. There's a great "odd couple" dynamic on that show, and MacLure is a legend. The Man Don't Give A Flower. King adds some contemporary footy-head cred.

Apart from Robbo overdoing his boofhead soliloquies at times, "Who would you rather be" provides the only false note, every suggestion met with feigned incredulity and outrage.

Why AFL 360 is good is that they interview people who are experts on the game - the same two every week, King and Maclure.

I haven't watched it this season because last season it was mostly opinion backed up by opinion (just like almost all the other footy shows); maybe I'll give it another go.

I find AFL Insider to be far better because they back up their opinions with analysis. Plus there's no media people on the show, only people currently working in footy (assistant coaches, fitness staff, etc).

Yes 360 does get a bit meta at times.

Yeah, Insider is good too - kinda a thinking man's 360. I like 360 because it's like being at the pub with a few mates - good mates, and you all barrack for different teams, but you kinda like and respect each other, and you're just bullshitting about footy. But they're both good, and not pretentious.

The worst by a mile - in fact unwatchable - are the Ch9 shows - ALL OF THEM!!

(Another fave is the Marngrook Footy Show on ABC2 on Thursday noghts).

..problem with 'on the couch', is the actual couch.. ..has to be the worst on-set furniture going around.. ..everyone's uncomfortable on that show..

..i like the Roo's, especially when his eyes were twinklin' as ol' Malty gave Gerard [i'm not going bald] a bake.. ..though i agree Hirdy was actually a decent co-host, especially early last season when Mike was down-talkin' Judd and suggesting he wasn't even top ten.. ..and Hirdy just laughed at him.. ..and you could see Mike get uppity and demand where Hird pegged him....Hirdy without hesitation "top three"..

Yeah, of those big three - Buckley, Hird & Voss, the first two were great commentators. The third is an idiot, AFAIC - but that's another story.

Funny anecdote: I've occasionally heard Kouta on the radio or TV and thought he's a real lightweight, but a good mate of mine is a rabid Scum supporter (loves Lloyd, loves Monfries, loves 'em all) and he reckons that Kouta is just about his favourite commentator. Go figure....

Maybe that's the answer, stef. But they could streamline the show to a degree. I mean, did we really need them to wax on about Collingwood being a great team for ten minutes? I think we all know that. Further - if you're going to get someone on, at least ask a sensible question. The contract stuff had already been done over the weekend - I could have guessed his response to the questions almostword perfect, they were so vanilla. Really poor from them. If they are going to set themselves up as a serious show, at least try and make the audience think a little.

I like 360 because they are relaxed, and they don't mind having a crack when they feel it's warranted - that said, they don't have a crack for the sake of it (hello FC). They have a bit of a laugh, and I don't mind saying I have always been a fan of Robbos. Not always of his views, but I like the way he goes about it. Unlike a few of the other prominent journos I get a feeling from him that he truly loves the game, rather than loving what goes on around the game. And MacLure is a genius. I'm even learning to deal with King, who I found annoying at the start. Insider is ok, but I think the chemistry is better on 360.

360 is ok. Robbo is the biggest wanker in the industry, King is an idiot but Sellers and Wheatley are pretty good.

I like AFL Teams with BT/Parko/Shaw/Pickering/Johnson and After the Bounce w/ Dunstall/Spud/Wheatley better though

Two questions:

1. Why do you think King is an idiot and Robbo is a wanker?
2. As a follow-on from 1, what new criteria do you then use to prefer shows with Frawley and BT?
