Clint Wheeldon from ABC Sport here. We’re about a third of the way through another Footy season, and it’s been awesome to watch a revitalised Fremantle and the talent of Harley Reid match the hype as West Coast improve on a couple of tough seasons. Alongside our AFL broadcasts on ABC Sport and ABC Radio Perth, I’m also thrilled about our new addition to the Sports stable - Extra Time. It’s the perfect accompaniment to the iconic Saturday Sports Talk, and appropriately named as it gives us more time to chat about what’s happening in sport. Join us Monday to Wednesday between 7 and 8 pm. It’s a great team too, including Commonwealth Games Gold Medallist and TV Journalist Ashleigh Nelson, AFL Premiership Player Sharrod Wellingham, The West’s Senior Sports Writer Glen Quartermain and myself. We’ll chat with those who make the news – and talk with you about what’s happening around WA, across the nation and around the world. You know I like a chat – and even a good argument – so call me on 1300 222 720 or if you’re a bit shyer text on 0437 922 720. I especially look forward to seeing you at the ABC Open House on Saturday June 8th. We’ll all be celebrating 100 years of 6WF and ABC Radio Perth and we’ll be broadcasting Sports Talk live at our studios - get your free tickets! I know you’re going to watch Saturday Breakfast and Sabrina Hahn’s gardening tips live – but stick around afterwards as we talk about what gets played on turf, not just how to grow it! Hope you can come along – it’s a good way to warm up for our coverage of West Coast and North Melbourne later that day - bring your footy scarves too! Cheers, Clint. |
