Can’t tell if he’s jet lagged or drunk (or just excited?). At any rate, amateur hour with the microphone situation having the guests having to lean in to be heard. Looks and sounds terrible. ---

Danika Mason’s roving reporting around the grounds at Melbourne Park during the prime time sessions of the Australian Open is fantastic, since day dot too IIRC. And of course over the years at TCN and WWOS’ NRL coverage. Well deserved. And could hopefully hold the position for many years, look to Mark Beretta. Erin Molan who? Yvonne Sampson who? And Roz Kelly, all the same goes for her as well and I’m sure she’s still well regarded, she’d technically still be higher than Mason anyway wouldn’t she, being an anchor on multiple network shows such as WWOS like the tennis including AO, Sports Sunday, Nine News weekends to name a few. ---
