Who is the most respected news breaker? Who is the most annoying AFL media identity?

2019-06-21T14:15+10:00

Over 1000 people answered the inaugural The Sounding Board’s footy survey which asked all the tough questions surrounding footy and particularly, the media.

Kicking things off was the question: Who should Damian Barrett break bread with?

Out of Luke Beveridge, Mark Robinson, James Hird, all of them or none of them, The Sounding Board listeners have made the call!

"It was a polarising issue," said Craig Hutchison.

"Our audience feel you should break bread with no one."

To which Barrett responded: "I certainly won't be with two of the three."

The survey also asked: Who is next in line to become the new Bruce McAvaney?

James Brayshaw seems to be a popular choice.

Barrett said: "It's an unassailable lead now. He is going to replace Bruce McAvaney on Channel 7 when Bruce decides the time is right."
