@MikeCarlton01 On the bright side, he can do less damage when he’s on the nod.

@MikeCarlton01 Congratulations Mike to you and your son. We had our son’s graduation tonight as well. I hope they and all our young men and women will make a difference, and help play their part in making this world a better and more caring place. And yes, thank you to our wonderful teachers!

@MikeCarlton01 Just as vacuous as when they avoid accountability by stating ‘I’m not going to provide a running commentary….’

[Gavin Wendt @glwendt]

@2GB celebrating 100 years today - just want to shout out @MikeCarlton01 - a genius on the radio as a commentator, with incredible wit and humour - his Friday News Review being a particular highlight - especially when he’d mercilessly lampoon the entrepreneurs of the ‘80s.

[Gavin Wendt @glwendt]

@MikeCarlton01 @mattkeogh Well said Mike. Those that have risked their lives for this country in defence of it, deserve respect and to be listened to - and they’re not getting it.

[Gavin Wendt @glwendt]

@MikeCarlton01 @homeister Sadly, radio peaked back in the day of Friday News Review on a Friday morning.

[Gavin Wendt @glwendt]

@MikeCarlton01 A very astute observation Mike, and your view is confirmed by what's subsequently coming out in the media today.

[Gavin Wendt @glwendt]

@MikeCarlton01 There is a tragic example in the news today of some in our society not believing in our values of personal freedom and respect for all. https://t.co/20v2Otfu6f

@MikeCarlton01 The two chief protagonists responsible for policies that led to the Liberals’ disastrous election wipeout - essentially alienating voters in the middle ground - Taylor and Hume - have now been promoted to the top jobs rather than being banished by the party. It doesn’t make sense

@MikeCarlton01 News Ltd review quotes: “I have learned nothing about this woman yet, and am starting to suspect there is nothing to learn. It is incomprehensibly empty. I have more riveting conversations with the wall of my shower each morning than anything you’ll witness on screen here."

@MikeCarlton01 Hard to believe sometimes that this isn’t just some insane dream. Then the reality dawns that this guy really did get elected.

[Gavin Wendt @glwendt]

@MikeCarlton01 Well said Mike.

[Gavin Wendt @glwendt]

@MikeCarlton01 Loved you and Lawsy on the radio together back in the 2GB days, the dream team, truly the golden days of talkback radio. I also vividly recall when you both switched shifts one morning! Respect.

Season went out the window when we sacked half our spine for no logical reason, both defence and attack have plummeted, cohesion has been lost, out in straight sets, super frustrating and disappointing. #NRLBulldogsPanthers

[Gavin Wendt @glwendt]

@WarrenSmithFOX Well said Warren. Sexton might be a journeyman half, but he does the simple things right and there was cohesion in both attack and defence, and he suited our style of play. There’s no doubt that the dropping of specialist half Mahoney out of the starting side has also hurt.

[Gavin Wendt @glwendt]

@flightradar24 Up and running here in Australia. Thank you!

@diminutiverowdy I'd like to know when the Dogs and Dragons were last in the 8 together.

[Gavin Wendt @glwendt]

@PhilGould15 Attitude was great, boys turned up to play and keep it going for the entire 80 minutes. Resolve in defence is tremendous, attack is really coming together - with the number of line breaks against a defence like the Panthers super encouraging. Onwards and upwards! Super proud!

[Gavin Wendt @glwendt]

@PhilGould15 Just watching Canberra v Manly. Raiders at the kick restart from halfway after a Manly try, kick the ball out on the full. Penalty to Manly. But if the Raiders kick it out on the full from a goal line dropout, no penalty.
