  • Phil Davis

    Phil Davis is among the most astute and articulate of the opinionistas. He deserves to have more time allocated to his segments.

  • Means Test (aka The Pies Show)

    I havent listened to SEN all season. Put this show on because it used to be about stats and tactics. Now Bucks talks about the Pies with a tear in his eye. He occasionally provides reserved opinions on other topics, but it always gets brought back to the Pies. Im never listening again.

  • Bruce McAvaney wannabe

    Whateley is just an annoying little man whose opinion matters nothing. Malcolm Blight was the best thing but thats gone… snoozefest overall.

  • Sanctimonious

    Used to be good, but last several years he has become quite insufferable and now comes across as a very arrogant person who thinks he’s bigger than the game. His thinly veiled jabs at anything western Australian are quite childish too

  • Great commentary but…

    Remember Geelong is still in the finals race!

    No need to disregard them Cats…because you used to follow them!! 😉

    Mid sentence advertorials very painful.

    Must lift Gerry!
