Personally I’d rather Culbert ■■■■■■ himself with an extremely sharp object.
Thanks, no history lesson required.
I think you are wrong on a number of fronts and are generalising. Also, to say that ‘now that’s all there is 24/7’ and 'why study tactics and watch games and work on insightful analysis when you can simply add “it’s my understanding” is grossly overstating time given to this stuff by media. Perhaps you don’t watch or listen to much. Ralph does a short bit on Fox and Barrett on TFS. Fox has hours upon hours of analysis all day long on Sat and Sun by King, Roos, Brown, Johnson etc. SEN does it daily. It’s so overanalysed it gets boring. The ‘my sources’ journo stuff is so minor it’s almost non existent and certainly not 24/7.

Sameolds2010: Bullwinkle: Diggers:S Newman’s day passed long ago. Even his forays into race and gender politics barely raise an eyebrow anymore. Newman, like the Footy Show has become old an irrelevant. His views are out of step with younger viewers and older viewers have become tired of his shtick. He may have made his departure from that show official last night but it has been coming for years.
There is Sam Newman the media persona and John Newman the person … sort of like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
I’ve played golf with John Newman at Riversdale GC a fair few times over the years and John Newman is one of the smartest, brightest and nicest blokes going around
You just can’t imagine he is the same bloke as Sam Newman in the media
PS - Dave Culbert is also a member there and is still a very much a c*nt
Yep I’ve always thought that. All that bollocks is just for bums on seats and he’s been very effective in keeping that putrid show going.
And he stood with us during the saga.
David Culbert can go ■■■■ himself with a blunt object however.Personally I’d rather Culbert ■■■■■■ himself with an extremely sharp object.
I don’t care if it’s sharp or blunt as long as the ■■■■ necks himself

I’d be keen to know, cause there’s a Womens wear company that’s constantly in my blitz feed.
John Newman ( & Sam for that matter ) was consistent supporter of EFC during the saga.
It was almost as if he understood that more than anything else, it was a media pile on
He was just playing the devil’s advocate/ crusty old man angry at the status quo role, as he always does. Doubt he truly cares.

So both ends
on TV I’m Sam Newman, but off the set I’m John Newman and we’re nothing alike. He then wished me a good day and also said goodbye as he left around an hour later. I’ll never forget that experience as it taught me a valuable lesson.
That rich ■■■■■ can buy the favour of the plebs when they choose, after skirting the metaphorical and literal queue?
You might be right but I remember he marched with us before the Melbourne game in 2016.
Most celeb types ran 100 miles from us back then,
Reckon those moments were the only time he was real & honest on air and you saw a bit of the real person underneath.
Not just saga related either, the rare occasions when he was serious and actually spoke his own thoughts, he was actually pretty good.
I think there was also a genuine respect & care for Hirdy that went further back, way before all the parasites jumped on board with all the “we forgive you” and “he has suffered enough” crap.
His views on football are pretty accurate (game style etc) however that’s about it. Perhaps if they talked more about football?
Did I misunderstand something? Did he say that if the show doesn’t get renewed that he will retire from the show? Isn’t that how it works anyway? Or is the wording different?
Reckon he was trying to boost the ratings for next week’s show.
100% agree. Imagine Front Bar putting footy show on the GF show???
Footy Show having Living End on the GF show…they became lame a decade ago and yet they are regulars every year…
Wonder if they’ll have anything to say about GF banners
You should play one of their songs in the DJ thread.

Became?

Nup, would it help if I upgrade my Atari ?
I reckon they were great early days, the eps and first two albums were solid af, pillars of my yuff
Yeah, their early stuff is really solid.
Chris Cheney is an incredible guitarist, I would love to see him in a band where he just plays lead.
