Sounds like little has changed in 25 years.

Maybe the general populace (ie people that arent already extremely invested in the games like most of us on here) dont want a relatively boring straight down the line tim lane style call anymore?

That might depend on whether that populace appreciates "boring" and "straight down the line" as being distinct and separate concepts.

That's more a poor reflection on the way society is heading if they need halfwitted stupidity like Rowe to gain and keep their attention.

David King by the length of South Road for me. If he picks your team at half time during his cross based on his current stats then you're ******. He's wrong more times than Charlie Murphy when he told Eddie Murphy that Rick James wouldn't disrespect his house again after copping a beating on True Hollywood Stories.
Can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat?

Rowey being a regular panellist now with Kane Cornes on Footy SA has really put me off that show.

Really... what do you know, what can you share MW.
The bloke was pretty harmless, but I thought his presenting style was very lame....

Going by his twitter, he's posted photos of some sort of treatment, if I was a betting man maybe cancer of some sort but don't know for sure.

I watch the coaches part of 360 Monday nights.

What about how he constantly feels the need to touch people, that annoys me.
