  3. Waste of space alert.

    Nice of “Nine’ to send out Press announcement or “formal warning’ to give sane folks chance to get out of town.

    Maybe someone could ask the Sydney folk to try to pronounce Victorian town names right or even get it close for Victorian sportsmen.

    Looks like”Ego Alert; hits cat town.
    Luxury hotel suites and cars booked out for these precious lot, I Suppose.

    P.S. for the record, only folk on today that I rate highly are Lisa Wilkinson & Georgie Gardner and unfortunately even these 2 ladies resort to “matey banter’ just to fit into “boysclub’

  4. LOL Karl in Geelong, those Sydney prefects will get eaten alive by Geelong! lol, Karl ill be bolting for his hotel room screaming for his producer and some as many of those little hand cleaner sachet thingys from Red Rooster.
    GO HAWTHORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. Who actually watches Today at 5.30am and Nine news at 5am.

    What are the ratings at that time and how do the networks justify the expense of going to air with such a costly production to such a little audience.

    Andrew.
