AFL commentary really is just becoming jobs for the boys isn't it. I imagine people will put up with one episode of the smug Andy D then turn off in droves.

Christ you blokes are fussy. Everyone's got an opinion these days but who would you rather have on? Seriously question.
No one will agree, so let it rest FFS.

I like "On The Couch", so the mainstays of Healy and Sheehan, but obviously they wouldn't be moving across.
I don't mind Bruce as the host, Carey I'd think would be OK, wonder if they could have gotten someone new like Chad Cornes?

Perhaps Grant Thomas would be the sort of commentator who would improve this type of show. I'd rather listen to his views than most other "experts" in the game.
Tim Watson would be an improvement too.
I agree the panellists for this show are very, very ordinary - I'd prefer Matthew Richardson and Cameron Ling (I'm assuming theyre both with 7, and not Foxtel, its quite easy to get them mixed up).
At least potential audiences can be grateful that BT isnt on the roster.
Wowee, how bad would that be!
