Post-Koch I think it would be great to poach Tarsh Belling over as well. Her and Matt Doran is double header gold.

We can now all rest easy that one of the ā€œnormalā€ team are on.
Matt is pretty good. Great to see him being utilised within the network more :slight_smile:

Really enjoyed watching Matt this week, when he joined Seven l said he would be a great fill in on Sunrise and he hasnā€™t disappointed.

In closer Sam thanked Matt but didnā€™t say Kochie is returning tomorrow.

@FreelanceEP l think we will definitely see Matt over the summer and with Nat or Eddy would be a great hosting team.

Agreed. Seemed viewers liked him on there as well.
Could definitely be a potential successor down the line youā€™d hope! :slight_smile:

Watched this morning to see what Basil was likeā€¦ It felt like I was watching a presenter on Community Television, and that is saying something considering the man he was relieving. He was interviewing their ā€œresidentā€ doctor in regards to the Nurofen debacle, and it really felt he was trying to hard to be controversial on a story where many of the facts medically speaking have already been discussed. Please send him back to Perth, Kalgoorlie or which ever rock he lives under.

I watched that interview with Dr Ginny. Didnt get that vibe at all. I actually think Baz does a good job on Sunrise.

Thatā€™s a bit harsh I think. He does a good job and deserves more exposure outside of Perth in the sports role in my opinion.

Baz isnā€™t an overly amazing co-host, but he, Michael Usher, Mike Amor and particularly Matt Doran are far better as co-hosts as Andrew Oā€™Keefe.

Heā€™s heavily involved in 7ā€™s AFL coverage, including games played in eastern states.

Yeah I know but that still isnā€™t overly that much, particularly when Sydney & Brisbane are not even AFL places.

I donā€™t watch AFL Footy so never really seen much of Basil before but l thought he did a good job hosting, he was very enthusiastic and his cheery personality worked well for brekky TV.

It was great to have James Tobin filling in for Sam Mac this week, Sam is back next week.
