    Surely Brendan Fevola is up for nomination?

  2. Jeffrey G Says:

    Radio announcer Tony Martin deserves the Wilkie Medal more than any other person I know.

    His last major project was “Get This” a radio show on the Triple M network. His ratings share were double anything else on Triple M at the time even though he famously avoided discussing football - long considered the sacred subject of the average Triple M listener. What did Triple M do? They sacked him at the end of last year!

    Even in his home of Melbourne, Martin was clever to point out that more Australian watch a film than attend a sporting event. For daring to suggest that Australians are not as simple as our media makes us out to be - Martin would be a worthy winner of the Wilkie Medal.

  3. Alison Says:

    Tony Martin would be a thoroughly deserving winner of this award. He is a man who likes and promotes indoor pursuits and has next to no knowledge of football or sports of any other kind.

  4. Tony Says:

    Tony would indeed be a deserving winner - many was the time on Get This where he’d reveal a complete lack of understanding about even the most basic facts about football. Not to mention that he went to the movies every year during the Grand Final so he could have the cinema to himself. Very refreshing to hear on Melbourne radio.

  5. Prue Says:

    Let’s just give Tony Martin an award. He’s lovely and I want to see him back in the public eye again.

  6. Kim Says:

    I agree, Tony is a real man, one who doesn’t care about competitive sports of any kind!

    Tim Jacobs, Chief Executive of the Victorian Arts Centre. Tim is widely acknowledged for being the diode of AFL, givin’ nothin and takin’ everythin’.

  9. James Waldron Says:

    How about Jeffrey Browne? He must deserve at least a mention for taking Sam Newman off the air.
