From Midday Today AWST, 6PR Football are re-calling the Historic 1992 AFL Grand Final with three of the Premiership Winning Eagles from that Side doing Commentating. Listen here: Teammates re-call West Coast's historic 1992 Premiership
Glen Jakovich and Karl Langdon will Commentate the Eagles Now Famous Premership, theyâre maybe a Tribute to Teammate, the late Chris Mainwaring who died in October 2007.
Theyâd have to do something to forget about the WCE this season.

Fiona Byrne reports in the Sunday Herald Sun that Jacqui Felgate will host 3AW Afternoons during the survey break from June 27 - July 8 whilst Dee Dee Dunleavy is on holidays.
Meanwhile, Elise Elliott will co-host Breakfast with Stephen Quartermain, and filling Neil Mitchellâs chair will be Tom Elliott for the first week and Heidi Murphy for the second week. On the Drive program, Heidi Murphy will host the first week, and Shane McInnes the second week.
Slim pickings to have Shane on again⌠really?
3AW analogue signal is down, Neil just announced they are working to bring it back online . Not sure how long itâs been down for, but still on air via Digital and streaming.
I wonder if Eddie will continue to be a contributor to Neilâs show after the little tiff they had this morning?
Didnât Eddie say (when he signed up for the guest role) that he and Neil would have the occasional disagreements on air?
Theyâll be loving the attention/clickbait and will probably double Eddieâs involvement in the show now ![]()
According to the Nine Radio Syndication website:
- Tony Pilkington is filling in 4BC Afternoons for two weeks from Monday while Sofie Formica takes a break.
- Bill Woods is filling in for Chris Smith on both 2GB Weekends and also the nightly Wide World of Sports show (2 weeks straight).
- Clinton Maynard will fill in for John Stanley on 2GB/4BC Nights for two weeks.
- Luke Grant will fill in for Jim Wilson on 2GB Drive for two weeks. Interestingly it also says he will take over the Money News slot for those two weeks as well. Not sure if itâs an extension of the Drive show or if he will follow the Money News format.
- Mark Levy is in for Ray Hadley for two weeks.
And whoâll cover 2GB Breakfast?
Iâd imagine Chris Smith will move into the slot.
Alice Coster of Page 13 of the Herald Sun has spoken to John Burns, former 3AW Breakfast co-host, who says that Russel Howcroftâs time is up, with the writing on the wall he will be replaced when his contract expires. He says that Mark Allen will be the heir apparent.
As long as the breakfast program keeps bringing in massive ratings, I canât see them risking a host change, because of a potential loss in ratings and dealing with negative press. John Burns should stay out of it - heâs just bitter he got replaced. Personally I think Ross and Russ are great on-air together and work well, but I really enjoyed the program too when Mark filled in.
I get the feeling Ross Stevenson does a lot of the heavy lifting on that show and Russ is just along for the ride. Could be wrong on that but it doesnât sound like the team effort it did when Burns and Kate Stevenson were there.
Iâm surprised Nine hasnât tried to steer the show in a newsier direction and teamed Ross up with someone who is capable of handling meatier topics. Canât see them persisting with the style of show they do now without Ross.
Would argue Ross did the heavy lifting too when he was with Burns. The difference is now Ross and Russ just feels and sounds like any other âregularâ breakfast duo whereas Ross and John had a unique dynamic not just between them but with the wider team (eg; Kate, Mikkayla, Damian Tardio, etc) as well.
Is this the same Tony Pilkington that used to be on FiveAA? Will be a great listen if it is him
There is only one Pilko.
4BC live and local with Adelaide talent.
Plenty of Nine TV talent who would do well to have a two week trial.
Well he would say that, wouldnât he.
