Open Mike

[Pag]

I enjoyed it, in 15 years time any sort of show like Open Mike won't work because there's no personalities left to tell any decent stories. All current players will say is 'We followed the process' or 'It is what it is' by default, at least Capper gave his honest opinion about blokes (Knights, Langford, Hafey etc) and said what he thought, I even laughed at a few references. Would rather listen to Warwick Capper than any interview with any current AFL player.

Bullshit. Matty Scarlett's episode has been the best so far, and he was hardly an outgoing character.

I enjoyed Scarlett's episode, one of the best, but there aren't many blokes on AFL lists at the moment that would speak as openly and honestly as that once their career is over anymore.

Scarlett, Schwab and Schwarz are the best ones Ive seen so far (Have missed a few)

For sartorial value, Don Scott was right up there ...

john kennedy senior this week
can not wait
had the pleasure of him being a senior coach when i was playing in the juniors at north
one of his favourite sayings was
they got the ball,we got the ball,no one has the ball,,get the f#$%^&* ball
do what ever you have to ,keep the ball moving towards our goal whether by foot,by hand ,by head what ever it takes
loved the man

Easily the best footy show for a tragic like myself, my favourite would have to be Tony Charlton.

spot on.

I watched it again today. I'm going to stay at Cappers house

Paul Salmon next week!! Should be a cracker!!!

Paul Salmon next week!! Should be a cracker!!!

The big Fish, awesome, I'll definitely watch that.

[wristwatcher]

One thing I have come to realize in recent weeks is that I really like Mike. Guys like Hutchy I detest and I even reckon Barrett is a nob but Sheen researches and makes interviews and stories about the person it should be about. He unlike the others isn't a self absorbed twat

Paul Salmon next week!! Should be a cracker!!!

Reckon he'll tell some tall stories.

One thing that puzzles me regarding Salmon is how he managed to make Hawthorns team of the century, after playing just 4 seasons with them. Yes he did win 2 best & fairests with them and made the 97 AA team- but surely someone like a Peter Crimmins (their B&F medal is named after him!) Should have taken the last interchange spot...2 x premierships with the bombers and was leading goalkicker for a few seasons in there, yet wasnt considered in their TOTC.

But getting back to the topic at hand- it should be a great interview.

Perhaps he just wasn't that good.

Well I guess ones definition of good can vary (not directed at you beefy)

Considering Bob Keddie, Leigh Matthews, Peter Hudson and Peter Knights were the b&f winners in Crimmins' time at the club, i would still say he was a good player (you dont have the stature of crimmins if you didnt have some ability), just the aforementioned names were outstanding.

This isnt to say either that Salmon wasnt a good player because he was a fantastic forward / ruckman. In my opinion though its easier to be a good player in a tough era (i think the hawks were cellar dwellers during salmons time at the club) that a b&f winner in a great side.

Anyway no debating will change it, i just think it is interesting.

Looking forward to monday nights episode.

Wayne "the dominator" Johnson this week, would love to see Mike do a totally uncut interview.
He'd have some ripper stories.

[dedja]

A few skeletons there ...

Watched Salmons show today. It was another interesting interview. After listening and watching Garry Lyon and James Brayshaw several times in the last week I really enjoy a journalist who doesn't put the spotlight on themselves and gets the most out of his guest

Mike Sheahan on Open Mike is fantastic, everywhere else he is a knob.
