I was really looking forward to Kerry O'Keefe's commentary comeback, but highly unlikely I will be tuning into Triple M this summer after reading the other commentators on their coverage, who are likely to negate his effect with the pro-AFL crap that is likely to be spruiked in the coverage:

So, James Brayshaw, Darren Berry, Gus Worland, Jules Schiller....AND I read also Mick Molloy in another article.....ummmm, no thanks! Looks like Brad McNamara is trying to carry this 'blokeyness' trend from his time at Ch9 into Triple M.
Let's be honest here....
- Brayshaw, nuff said.
- Berry was close mates with Shane Warne when playing for Victoria, and one of the reasons Warne had a grudge against Gilchrist when he became Healy's replacement instead of Berry was that Gilchrist, like Steve Waugh, wasn't the subservient blokey 'have fun at the pub' type of person who would kowtow and listen to how great he was.
- Gus Worland only has a career due to his claim to fame of being high school classmates and friends with Hugh Jackman. 'An Aussie Goes Barmy'/'An Aussie Goes Bolly' were both produced by Jackman, and without him, I could imagine Gus driving around as a fat garbo collector.
- Jules Schiller is one of the unfunniest dropkicks I've ever seen. Mike Gibson would be rolling in his grave if he saw today the show he once hosted for more than a decade has turned into a glorified AFL-flogfest masquerading as a 'sports show'.
- Mick Molloy is a hack and made it big in Australian comedy off the back of the other half of the Martin/Molloy duo, Tony Martin, who unsurprisingly he sabotaged during the BoyTown movie production as Martin's unreleased work in that film made Molloy look like the inferior A-grade hack he is
