Word doing the rounds is that VFA-VFL legend Phil Cleary has been dumped from the commentating team.
No news on his replacement as yet, but it is a disgrace what ABC-TV have done. Phil is an icon to the game, and his knowledge will be sorely missed. _________________ Whale

Absolutely. There's not many like him left. No surprise though in the modern era. We must always be good boys and girls. _________________ Buon Giorno |

That's sad news. I will miss Phil's gravel rash tones. He called footy how its supposed to be called like a bloke who's knocked down a couple in the outer. _________________ " Ohhh Banksy and out comes the Note Book".

Phil was on RRR FM recently and didn't mention he was dumped. |

The latest is that although he's been dumped from the commentary team, but he will be retained on the ABC-TV Football payroll.
A new position will/has been created especially for him. His new role will include hosting a special feature segment (interviews / VFA history, etc,) to be shown during the half time break, and he will have a role of some sort during the finals. _________________ Whale
