Phil Cleary Gone

Rumour getting around the traps is that Phil Cleary has been dumped from the ABC panel that broadcasts games live on Saturday's. Even though at times Phil carries on a bit I am a great supporter of his comments etc as he truly loves the competition. If you agree we should find an email address at the ABC to complain about the decision, what do you think?

No reply as yet. This guy sounds like a real goose. richard.reisz@your.abc.net.au I don't reckon this clown will reply at all.

Not sure how you can make that assessment. He's not a bad bloke at all.

Who says he's a good bloke, Dolphin?

Perhaps he's one of Dolphin's mates. :lol: Well, I guess those unhappy with the decision will just vote with their remote controls and not watch the telecast. In turn the ratings drop, the league sponsorships become less valuable and all in all nobody wins.

richard.reisz@your.abc.net.au Lets all email Dolphin's mate and bombard him. If they employ some moron to take Cleary's spot the rating might take a hammering. If it's not broken why fix it ???

Thats pretty sensible. I met the bloke once, a couple oif years ago, and thought he wasn't a bad bloke. Thats all there is to it. I actually don't mind Cleary as a bloke either, even though he carries on like a tram without wheels a lot of the time. I wonder if he, and the ABC overall, might have a bit better clue as to what is best for thir coverage than you guys. Don't get yourself all bent out of shape ovcer a pi$$y little thing like this. Worry about more important things, like why Victorian Football is producing less drafted players, per capita, than any other state, bar the 2 NRL states. Thats what is significant. Thats more of an issue than Phil Cleary.

You're a bullshit artist, chief :wink: But you're right. I like Cleary and he's been great for the comp, but there are indeed bigger issues in the VFL, like the great divide between the rich and poor clubs.

Hooray - people finally speaking some sense!!! Obviously Richard Reisz also thinks there are more important things to worry about at the moment than replying to e-mails also!!
