Not much depth in the field then.

Please not McDermott, he seems to have no respect for the sanfl and slams it at every opportunity. I'd even rather Rucci :shock:

Geez all we need is more pro crow wankers on radio.
McDermott is just a Crows puppet



He has never been (since his sacking) and is unlikely to be a crows puppet.

Youre kidding aren't you?
He is always taking aim at the SANFL and saying that we should do whatever is best for the Crows.
He has been pushing for Crows reserves in the SANFL for years.
After his career in the SANFL I thought he would have a bit more respect for the comp.

Giniver :shock: He is painful to listen to.

I would have thought when KG left it was perfect for Dittmar to join Cornesy, a Port man and a Crows man. Surely some balance in a 2 team town.

Dittmar makes a lot of sense and from his Norwood rumour obviously has a lot of good info/contacts.

Cornes is the best hands down. Missing him not being on the show.

I'm amazed at his restraint to some of the plonkas who get on there to talk.

For the amount of actual Power supporters in this town they do give them a lot of airplay compared to others clubs who are well supported in this town: Carlton, Essendon, Collingwood etc.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

( Old John Blake skit )

Cornes - "This is amazing, meeting Keith Richards back stage"

Richards - "Aww **** hell. What happened to your face, were you in a fire?"

Have not listened to 5AA for a very long time. Graham Cornes is well past his use by date and I can not stand the stupid slang language Stephen Rowe uses.... like a kid.

5AA have a massive chance to cut all the dead wood they have (Cornes and Rowey) and start anew with fresh voices. I stopped listening to them a long time ago and agree with most people's comments regarding Cornesy's being past his used by date and Rowey being a complete idiot. 5AA could look at moving Kym Dillon into the sports show slot since he already commentates for them.

Ditts and Roo run a much better show, even if Roo's IQ isn’t that much better than Rowey's ;) It’s good to have two guys on radio who call a spade a spade and are not totally bias towards the team they support.

They looked at Dittmar before but Cornes refused to work with him because he needed someone that made him look intelligent, hence Rowe got the job.
It didn't work though.

Tune in radio app on my phone plus a bluetooth media player in the car makes it possible. Haven't listened to Adelaide radio in over a year.
