Funny that this came up. I have turned off that show in the last few months for the same reason.
The final straw was when that wanker was discussing who could be on the Carlton Football board.
Businessmen, lawyers, etc. But a plumber would be of no use.
What a bloody self opiniated snob.

I hate 3AW football broadcasts. This is the mob that says we are the best.
Obviuosly a lot of brain dead people like listening to prattling
commentators insted of being told where the ball is, and who has it.

Couple of small edits on the site... hope I didn't tread on any toes...

Quote:
Dwayne Russell (born March 4, 1965) is a former Australian rules footballer and currently a biased and at best passable commentator of the sport.

Russell was a prick who played for the Port Adelaide Football Club in the SANFL, before crossing over to VFL club Geelong in 1987. He played 50 games for 51 goals until he was cut from the side in 1991. Following his retirement he was meant to be the captain-coach of Colac-Coragulac for 1992. However, he appeared at only two training sessions, despite pocketing the $30,000 dollars and the unlimited use of a local male hooker the club had given him to undertake the role.


and a couple of others... This won't stay up long I feel...

I made a few changes to the AD one yesterday, but they were continually updated within a minute, so congrats in getting this to stick for more than a couple of minutes.

Andrew Demetriou
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Andrew Demetriou (born April 14, 1961) is the CEO of the Australian Football League and a former Australian rules footballer of Greek-Cypriot heritage, as well as an all around arsehole (this is how he earned the nickname Dimitrispew) and a fat prick.
Contents
[hide]

* 1 Playing career
* 2 Post Retirement
* 3 Administration career
o 3.1 Controversies
* 4 External links

[edit] Playing career

Recruited from Pascoe Vale, Demetriou played poorly for the North Melbourne Football Club as a winger, playing 103 games and fluking 47 goals between 1981 and 1987.

He had a brief move to Hawthorn playing for the club in 1988, playing just 3 games and kicking 1 goal.

His career was one of few highlights (as he was a shithouse player) and several tribunal appearances, although he was made famous by being flattened in a shirtfront by Leigh Matthews.

[edit] Post Retirement

Since retiring Demetriou has made it a personal mission to eat every pie, cake and muffin in existence. This has allowed him to gain a solid 200kgs since retiring from playing.

[edit] Administration career

At the end of the 2003 season, Demetriou was elected CEO of the Australian Football League, taking over from the outgoing Wayne Jackson.

In 2005 he was instrumental in securing a record breaking TV rights deal. In the same season, the league posted record breaking TV ratings and attendances.

Demetriou's policy of aggressive marketing of the code in the traditionally non-Aussie Rules areas of New South Wales and Queensland has been questioned by many.

[edit] Controversies

In 2005 Demetriou slammed the Sydney Swans and their coach Paul Roos by labelling their play as "unattractive" and "ugly", yet it was still better than any of the shit he dished up as a player. He also claimed that the Swans would not win a premiership the way they were playing, and then a heavy loss to St. Kilda in Round 10 of that season sent the Swans into deep crisis, with the Swans copping heavy criticism following the 43-point loss. This was the turning point in their season, with the Swans losing only two more home-and-away games for the season and reaching the AFL decider. The Saints were themselves sent into deep crisis following a 15-point loss to Essendon* [1]. In the Grand Final, the Swans matched their losing score against the Saints against the West Coast Eagles, but this time, they won the match (West Coast kicked 7.12.(54)). A sign held by fans after the final siren said: "DEMETRIOU YOU WERE WRONG! GO THE SWANS!". He also labelled outgoing Eagles captain Ben Cousins a "fool". [citation needed]

I listened to the first 10 minutes last night of Sports Tonight, and it was interesting that the emails received by the station from Blues supporters got a mention. So regardless of the email the station manager may have returned, the message was being 'heard'.

He played 50 games for 51 goals until he was cut from the side in 1991. Following his retirement he was meant to be the captain-coach of Colac-Coragulac for 1992. However, he appeared at only two training sessions, despite pocketing the $30,000 dollars and the unlimited use of a local male hooker the club had given him to undertake the role.

Following his retirement from all forms of football, Russell became a journalist, commentator and all around arsehole. After writing for The Age newspaper and commentating games on the Nine Network's AFL coverage, his main occupations are as co-host of 3AW's top-rating drive-time sports show, "Sports Today" with Gerard Healy, as well as rent boy for numerous gay celebrities around Australia.

Russell is also a devout Christian, and has recorded a "Jesus-Jazz" album testifying his love of Jesus, Australian Rules Football, and a nice sauna, shared with another man. (a message only heard when the album is played backwards.) Russell's love of our lord and saviour, Jesus H. Christ, has landed him in hot water previously, with police investigating claims that Russell viciously assaulted 2nd graders at a local primary school with a salada, after being less than entertained by their performance of "Joseph & The Technicolour Dream Coat". All formal charges were later dismissed, after police actually realised that they had not arrested Drew Morphett. Police quickly amended their wrong-doing, allowing Russell to walk away a free man, considering his current life of obscurity, unintelligence and mediocrity to be a more than appropriate punishment.

Russell claims to have not only invented the Jesus-Jazz genre, but also the Jesus-Ab-Trimmer, which appears to just be a DVD copy of the 1995 family hit "Dustin Checks In" with exerpts of Paul's letter to the Corinithians glued on, alongside an elastic band pulley system. Russell has long been a staunch defender of what has been claimed to be a "shonky" product. He also defends himself against claims that the only reason his product is in stores due to heavy threats of extortion toward business owners, threatening them with candid, nude photos of Caroline Wilson.

Russell was in fact rumoured to have been secretly dating Val Kilmer, which sparked rumours flying in Hollywood, that Dwayne would star alongside Val in the superhero flick, "Batman Forever", seeing as producer, Joel Schumacher found Dwayne to be more feminine than Nicole Kidman. Plans were abruptly scrapped after Russell demanded that a clause be instated into his contract that the entire soundtrack be from his Jesus-Jazz album, in the ilk of Prince's work on the Batman album.

It is also unsubstantiated that Dwayne founded Scientology, whilst trying to reveal his secret feelings for Alberton Oval. No word has ever been found on this topic.

I did my bit and told emailed


Thanks 3AW for your continued employment of Dwayne Russell.

His obvious bias towards Geelong and Port, and his continued diatribe/hatred towards anything the Carlton Football Club do or say has seen me switch the dial to SEN and I couldn’t be happier.

If only SEN can pinch Gerard Healy!

Keep employing this buffoon at your peril.


Good to hear we made at least an impression on them Stefchook. We just need to keep at them. Could we manage to get somethign on the Carlton website????

Erm, I don't mean to be a killjoy here at all. Well, actually, I do. How would you all feel if some jokers got on to the Blueseum and fiddled about with the text on there?

Moreover, I'm a bit disappointed at some of the contributors to these "games". Yeah, okay, it's kind of funny, but it's also terribly pointless and juvenile.

:shock: :x :cry:

Yeah it is juvenile. Boy its fun.

I've warned Jars about the same thing for the blueseum, but quite frankly, thats what is LIKELY to happen with this sort of software.

I don't often dislike people, but Russell takes the cake.

Don't worry, I did the adult thing too and sent them an email. Pity they didn't even acknowledge it with a response.

I'm really surprised the Blueseum has not been vandalised yet (it has been hacked though :lol: ).

Every opposition supporter who has contacted me about it so far have just given compliments for the site.

Will happen sooner or later though. Looking forward to banning whoever does. :twisted:
