You have to admit crapping in a hotel corridor is kind of funny. How could the AFL stooges not have a go at us about it?

But if it happened to an AFL player we all know it would be brushed under the rug (maybe literally if the hotel cleaner loves AFL).

sen's Francis Leach is one of the worst, even "KP's" behaviour is "Fev like"!
a Victorian cliche.

We need, as has been said above, to get the ABC to put a bit of balance on the show, and a bit less Magnay as well as she isn't as bright/quick as Caro Wilson and a few of the other AFL fundies.

I think you'd be very naive to think that the rubbishing of our game on these programs doesn't have huge potential for damage to the game.

Maybe Roy should have reminded the 'tards about the night Fraser Gehrig splashed the boots of a copper's daughter...

Poor old Roy Masters looked angry as the moron next to him basically said Rugby League is the only code with behvavioural problems. The show is crap.:oops:

I have foxtel, all channels. I fta. I've had many years of watching both.

In my honest opinion 98% of tv is not worth watching. Life is far more interesting.

Going to games is too. Let them sit around and bag rugby league. Who cares.

One of the AFL's highest profile players at the time, Fraser Gehrig, urinated on a woman in a nightclub about 5 years ago.

There was no national outrage on national programmes like the Offsiders.

Can only imagine if a RL player did that to a woman.

The last time Francis Leach was on the show, they were talking about the NRL, then he started on some diatribe about; “I don’t know what Rugby stands for anymore”. He went to say that 5 years ago the Wallabies were No.1 national football team, but now he thought the Socceroos were now our No.1 national football team. Jackie Magnay had to tell him that Rugby League and Union were two different sports and he seemed quite shocked. I think it is indicative of most AFL journalists in Melbourne that they have I idea about the outside world.
We need, as has been said above, to get the ABC to put a bit of balance on the show, and a bit less Magnay as well as she isn't as bright/quick as Caro Wilson and a few of the other AFL fundies.

I don’t think Carlo is real bright. I think when Jackie Magnay’s on the show, she lets her hit a few full tossers to the boundary. I like the show. I think Barry Cassidy is pretty fair. John Harmms knows his sport. I would like to see Roy and Carlo on there every week. She does get very upset when she is caught out bullsh*tting by Roy,

Why do you bother with the ABC?

Gideon, Gerard...and the rest of the "my sh*t dont stink" brigade are time wasters. If i was at a dinner part with those 2 prats i would stick forks in my ears.

I don't think there is a more pompous wanker on TV than that Gideon Haig.

Looks like a little nerd that would have been regularly beaten up at school.

Carro Wilson is a hag of the highest order.

It's addictive, you kind of just wait each week to see what kind of crap they say about league. Roy was just about to response to that dick but then the other guy changed the subject. Very sneaky.

What Roy Masters said about the circumstances was pretty damn weak. Myles made a massive mistake and it happened due to the influence of alcohol. I mean jeez the story doesn't even make sense ... I was cold so I went and hid in a fire escape. I work in a hotel and the fire escapes are windy and made of concrete plus he was found asleep in there.

That AFL fanboy needed to be taken down a peg though and it was annoying the host interjected before Roy got a chance to respond. I get sick of people claiming a "drinking culture" is inherent in the game. Last time I checked, the alcopop tax was meant to address the drinking culture held by all Australians.
