Body:
What did everyone think! I just got back yesterday and watched the vid . . . and there's a bit each way. The new intro was good . . . and the little trip down to the beach road etc. I really liked Phils interview . . . i really hope they stay football based, especially VFL . . . none of the basketball, netball interviews the ABC used to dish up. Looking forward to hearing what Peter Schwabb has to say next week.
Now . . . Franky!
Did anyone notice a hole in the coverage? Did the chemistry seem unbalanced? Will Donegan continue to hold Justins hand!?! I do not mean anything against Justin Peckett . . . it'd be tough to come in and do what he's gonna do . . . and i'm sure he'll relax and become a bit more insightful (I hope), but the absence of Phil was near un-bearable to me! Donegan's a pro, and he held it togehther, but poor old Ross had no one to bounce off . . . we didn't get the passionate comments and oohs and ahhs coming through, imagine how excited he would have been during the 2nd half . . . i personally felt it significantly detracted from the coverage.
I'm not against gettin younger blokes such as Peckett into the box . . . but not at the expense of Phil. It's like replacing Paul Roos with Anthony Banik . . . it's chucking Peckett into a tough position . . . . . . . . .
Anyway, what are your thoughts?
