What are the comments on that post

Read the FB equivalent. Succinctly speaking, it’s the ones they probably think of when they made the initial post.

They’ve done it again

Can you explain the joke, young man?

Sure, happy to clear it up for you, I am led to believe it means he didn’t receive any punishment at the judiciary.

Hutchy really needs to hire a proofreader though…

That costs money.

Footy fever returns to G-Town in milestone year for K rock Football

It’s now an incredible 95 years since Geelong radio station K rock 95.5 – or 3GL as it was known back then – started calling Aussie Rules footy, one of the first Australian radio stations to do so

The Australian is reporting that FiveAA have axed Warren Tredrea, and replaced him with former Port Adelaide player Dean Brogan, who was previously on the ABC’s coverage.

Good riddance.

Interesting that this schedule only covers Triple M in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. How will Triple M Sydney cover this round’s matches involving Swans and Giants? Will the Tigers-Suns clash be broadcast on Triple M Gold Coast?

Suns seemingly will be, as neither the Saturday Scrum (11am-1pm AEST) or Knights v Warriors (2pm AEST) is listed as broadcasting on MMM Gold Coast.
Neither Swans nor Giants will be on radio (likely DAB+) as MMM Sydney is broadcasting Raiders v Bulldogs tonight and both NRL Saturday games that overlap the Giants game.

Lauren Arnell has returned to ABC Radio to provide expert comments, starting with Port Adelaide v Essendon this afternoon. This follows her resignation as the Power’s AFLW head coach in January this year.

This Saturday (March 28) 3AW will broadcast the night match between Essendon and North Melbourne, instead of Fremantle v Richmond in late afternoon. On Sunday, St Kilda AFLW captain Hannah Priest will be boundary reporter for Carlton v Melbourne.
