Search an old episode of “On the couch” with Sellars about 2010-13 vintage.
The bloke is many things including opinionated, but listen to the things he sees as non negotiable for a successful footy team, it’s hard to dismiss them.
I completely understand your dislike of the talking/ranting heads in the media, sometimes the ranting comes from passion, doesn’t mean it’s 100% correct, but what/who is ??
I did a quick search for that episode, found nothing. You don't mean Open Mike by any chance ? That's from 2013.

At any rate. I have watched that in the past. It's fairly standard old man fare IMO, talking about the good old days and how they had standards which are not present in today's AFL players. That episode is ok, but it stands apart from his general Fox Media work because Sheahan still has a skerrick of journalistic integrity, and guides Maclure in a somewhat sensible direction.
He, like many of his ilk, makes a lot of assertions from the outside without really having much current insider knowledge. He's never worked in any offical capacity at the club (certainly not recently) has probably never even met most of the players and others he criticises, and is in my view not all that different from any other grumpy fan on the sidelines.
