Yep, Brad originally did the show from here when he lived here, then he moved to Vic and they set it up for him to do it from there. Personally I reckon it was better when he was over here doing it. Yeah Haselby has floated around 720 and also Ch 7, he was crap on both, he was crap coach and over rated lazy player as well.

If Greg Harding took it on ratings would go through the roof and I'm being serious, he says it how it is and is a sharp footy brain from underage footy up to AFL, but he has bigger more important fish to fry! ( one of those fish being Shark )

Should get Mal Brown on.

Yep mate, the new image thing I reckon, they are looking for a newer breed AFL head, Brads to old school.

Thanks!

I have done this Grassy. I've merged the original into this one which seems to be getting more replies.

Shocking move by 6PR, personally I find Haselby a bit boring and monotone to listen to and what these knobs are forgetting is Brad Hardie is well connected in Melbourne so he gives us the goss out of Melbourne as soon as it comes to hand and he's got good sources.

its not a 6PR decision, Macquarie did a deal with a company called Crocmedia who now own the rights for the show and it is being syndicated across WA.

the show was broadcast on Sportfm with Scott Cummings and some other bloke but now is on 6PR with Langdon and Haselby.

Crocmedia obviously see it as more appealing to their market to have an Eagles and Dockers person on the show, Haselby is boring but maybe appeals to Dockers people somewhere.
