KG retires from weekday radio

[Dan The Man]

They both are crap anyway.

[am Bays]

5AA is an amazing station in that they prefer their on-air "talent" to be as annoying as possible. I haven't listened to 5AA for over 2 years now because I just couldn't take it any more.
As much as I liked him as a footballer, the one person who has a laxative affect on me is none other than Stephen Rowe. I realise he seems to have a lot of fans out there, but I can't stand him. The moment I switch on for a footy commentary and learn that Rowe is one of the callers, I switch off immediately.

That continued high pitched whining is more annoying than 1,000 sets of fingernails scraping across a blackboard, and his stupid sayings are akin to an 8 year old mental patient.

In Rowe, the 5AA management realise they have a tremendously annoying person, and therefore he will be the one to replace KG. 5AA like that sort of thing.

Welcome to Selection Criteria # 1 for talk back radio, Grant Cameron and Peter Goers on 5 AN anyone...

[Dan The Man]

It's karma although about 17 years too late.
What goes around ,comes around.
He knifed Ian Aitken in the back and now KG has been knifed himself.

[LPH]

I suggested this earlier, yet after thinking about it a little more Kym Dillon seems the only suitable replacement for KG on 5AA.

The case can be better made for Dillon having knowlege on the highest number of sports because of his role as the sports presenter on Ch9.

What it probably comes down to is if 5AA can offer him enough coin to get him away from Ch9 & MMM.

5AA have won the ratings in recent times and would have to be cashed up as a result, so there is no reason that they could not do it if they wanted to.

Anyway another name to throw into the mix!

Reminds me of a song we used to sing in the Cheersquad up the back of the Grandstand @ Thebby, in the '80s...

"We got Kimmy Dillon... 17
We got Kimmy Dillon,
In our team,
We got Kimmy Dillon... 17
We got the best team in the World"

Oh, those were the days

I agree wholeheartedly.

Get Mickey Robbins and Helen Razor back to do the job

[whatever]

A fresh face from outsde of football would be good.

Dittmar - at least he should have an appreciation of other sports around the world

Lehmann - no idea what he would be like but I think his viewswould make for good listening.

Ellis - netball - she would be an interesting option

Please not Rowe, McDermott or Francou.

I dont mind Wildy but he has said he is not interested.

I don't agree. It's been three years, not two for me

Helen razor god no!!!

She's does Sunday mornings on 3 LO in Melbourne...absolute scrag!!!

One of teh benefits of being back in Adelaide doesn't have to listen to her anymore....

[whatever]

Maybe look at geting Francis Leach or Mark Doran from SEN

[gadj1976]

I might listen this week, there is a good chance I might hear someone from Carlton get a 5min interview.

I know what you mean...as an SA-based Richmond supporter, I often wish I could hear more about Richmond, but the only time I do, is when the Crows or Power are coming up against them the approaching weekend...

It's an SA based radio station not a national radio station so it's bound to concentrate on the Crows and Power. You could try looking for Melbourne based stations that give stream similar shows favouring your clubs.

I'm hoping that whoever gets the gig can boost the profile of the SANFL a bit more...I can but dream

That's the problem Jas, it's about Crows and Power, not football itself. Until it changes around to incorporate the SANFL and other AFL teams, I'm not interested in listening.

BTW, it wont, cos there is no money in it.

[Drop Bear]

Dis Dis Disag Disagree.

[Sojourner]

Why not give Amanda Blair the job?

Wow, a mod calling someone a scrag and it's allowed to stay up on the site...sheesh, had a non-mod made this comment, they would've been banned for infinity weeks for defaming and abusing someone.

Is inconsistency the new consistency?

[Baron Greenback]

He's definitely an SA icon.
Not one I'd be very proud of though.

[TigerBoss]

The fact that Walls, Buckley and Hunt are interviewed in a weekly segment is great. It's a major part of why I tune into the program each night...

Buckley realises he's talking to an SA audience, so he cr@ps on about how much he rates the Crows, even when they've lost five straight...whereas at least Walls and Hunt give a bit more of a rounded view about the competition at large, not just the SA sides.

Having said that, I think Buckley is one person that I listen to regardless of what he has to say, except for perhaps his biased viewpoints about Collingwood not needing to change or adopt a more unclashy clash jumper with all 15 other clubs.

As for SANFL content, so long as the station continue to do the "Where are they now?" and Sunday Night SANFL show with Zac Milbank and Daniel Norton, with the occasional interview mid-week, I think that's as good as we'll get.

Will Smyth replace KG?

Nup. The fresh prince of Bel Air is too busy making blockbuster movies than to come to little old Adelaide and talk on a sports show every weeknight.
