I tuned in this afternoon and caught Beaver saying that Sivivatu was the best player he ever played with. He said Sivi never got enough credit for how intelligent he was as a player.
He also said Larkham was the best player he ever played against.
First five or player full stop ?
Donald strikes me as one of, if not THE most “love to have a beer with that guy” ABs of recent memory.

When you look at it, it looks like they have attempted a very similar formula with smithy being the Gerrard whately
I don't know much about AFL but Garry Lyon has seemingly hosted every AFL show I've ever seen including the Footy Show and was always on the radio any time I've been to Melbourne in the past 15 years and Tim Watson used to read the sports news, no?
It seems like a lot of the ex-players on SEN in Melbourne have a decade plus of media experience beyond being a commentator or are having their hand held by a pro co-host. The only real NZ equivalent would be Mark Richardson or possibly Ian Smith although I don't remember his sports news presenting or previous stint on Trackside being that memorable.
They should have copied the 2GB model had an ex-AB coach like Laurie Mains lobbing right wing grenades for breakfast and a sports commentator like Nisbo to continue on mornings.

yeah you are right , and the ex afl players are pushing 60 ( maybe more I dont know exactly ) and have been working the media pretty much since they retired from playing . I guess there are a lot more of those types available in Aus , here on a weekend there will be 4 or so different radio stations calling games , plus 2 TV stations . Plus all the different footy shows. As a result lots of players get work in the media when they hang up the boots .
Goldie might have been good ?
I had a bit more of a listen today , its very much a copy of the melbourne station with lots of the little things , the bits of music before the news , calling Smithy the voice of sport like they do whately , etc .

I've caught bits and pieces of SENZ while in the car. My initial impression was "SENZ, it's Kiwi for adverts", but some of the content has grown on me.
Listened live to Smith and Stafford onine yesterday as has to drive to Bundy and back. Was OK. Could suggest some improvements but not horrible.
Liked where Staffy went outside the norm, like taking to the sprint coach.
Not yet going out of my way to listen.
Haven't retried the brekky show yet.

I tried to listen to drive show yesterday
Turned it on got 5 minutes of ads
Then they said Tuke and Burling had come second in their latest race and commented being up against them must be like playing Tiger on the Sunday of The Masters
Then 2 minutes of a stupid phone in quiz
Then they went to six minutes ( I only stayed listening to time it) of more (the fucking same) adverts
So one result and one brief comment in 13 minutes of radio
What a fucking joke.

Haven't listened to it yet but don't think I will bother given the comments about ads. Fair enough having ads to pay the bills, but it sounds like they are taking the piss.

who's the 2nd legend?

Damn I miss Richie. Such a player, such a motor, such a captain, just an incredible human being. GOAT.

Stuff have had articles looking back at the QF and SF from the RWC on the 10th anniversary of those games, including interviews with some players involved in those games (Dagg was one). The last in the series about the final will be published on Saturday. Worth a read if you are interested.
