Sportzfan Radio #190.1

@SportzfanRadio now available on iTunes!20 February 2011 190.1 – Sportzfan Stan makes his presence felt calling for the coach of the Wollongong Hawks Gordie McLeod to be sacked for losing 10 games of eleven. Phil Cleary comes on the show to talk about the VFL & Coburg. The club would have difficulties if the alignment with Richmond ceases at the end of this season. He says with some AFL teams fielding reserves teams it will make things hard for the non AFL clubs. He says it has been a disgraceful history starting with the abolition of the VFA. He says the VFA teams were bullied into changing the name and sold a lie about their future.  He says that the majority of the non AFL clubs would not be able to survive by themselves and a long term strategy should be developed to align each club with the community in their area.  Phil says he would be eminently well qualified to be on a Board running VFL football but he wouldn’t be asked because he wouldn’t bow to what the AFL wanted (we agree with Phil!).  The Gelding comes on to talk racing and talks about the retirement of SportzfanRadio’s own Typhoon Tracy.  He says the trainer Peter Moody didn’t call him to discuss what should be done with the horse.  The Gelding picked two winners and three fourths, one of the winners being Black Caviar.  The discussion then moves to the production meeting held at the Great Western Hotel (our sponsors).  We get a tweet for the Gelding asking if he is ‘light on for balls’.  Mark Fiorenti comes on to talk soccer and says he also has trouble with twitter but he is going to try and get on it before the end of the year.
