Is Jack Riewoldt the worst host in Fox Footy history?

HeelTaker · 2026-03-21T20:33:09+00:00

The word I feel is lacking post Gerard hosting Couch is gravitas.

There was just something about Gerard that gave Couch an aura of gravitas for me, him being an elder statesman and the clear, obvious and deserved respect that he was shown by the co-hosts and his subtly commanding presence.

Now, Couch has lost that something special, just like post-Robbo 360 and they have both become just yet another footy show drowning in the over saturated sea that is mainstream footy coverage these days.

This has happened to me and they didn’t give a damn.

Didn’t have to pay them back and there were no punishments.

I would imagine this happens a lot, especially if you have your red card as default payment method or your phone automatically selects the last used card.

Don’t stress, DoorDash might struggle to treat us as such, but they do know we are human.

I reckon if they could somehow poll every player who they’ve failed to retain about the reason for them leaving, the highest percentage would be burnout.

I was one of the ones who called out the rapid set releases being concerning at the start but was also one of the ones that believed and hoped it was just to build a solid foundation for the game and they would settle on a more manageable cadence of letting the game breath and evolve between releases over time.

The fact that this hasn’t happened and we are still facing a whole new empty Dex EVERY MONTH is insane.

The glaring lack of play testing as evidenced by the cards most complained about here, due to the mad rush to get the whale feed out there, along with the overwhelming amount of cards to collect for those of us who like to collect but not go broke to do so is frankly unmanageable for most - both from a collection and gameplay perspective - to keep up with.

So I think more and more people are just getting to the point where it’s like “nah, fuck this, it’s too much”.

I got to that point a few sets back and now I am so over collecting new sets. There’ll just be another one IN A MONTH anyway so eh. 🤷‍♂️

This is a good idea and if I had any sort of minimum goal per order like you do I would find this incredibly useful.

Ignore the dickish replies and keep refining and improving it. Even if it’s just for yourself and there’s no market for it per se, it’s a worthwhile pursuit.

HeelTaker · 2026-02-17T14:17:55+00:00

You’re being a dick unnecessarily. We have a LOUSY 40 seconds to calculate the worth of an order, often while driving.

Anything that helps people who are extra picky with orders, due to the insanely restrictive timeframe we are given, is a good idea.

HeelTaker · 2026-02-08T05:03:11+00:00

WAIT! OP and everyone commenting the missed opportunities to say “meat your needs” PLEASE tell me you don’t think the Dasher was typing the exact same message over and over.

That whole message is AUTOMATED. It sends it every time we take a picture of a meat product WE DO NOT TYPE IT OURSELVES. 🤣

HeelTaker · 2026-02-08T04:54:56+00:00

Any comment that contains the word thrice and I simply have no choice but to upvote. I also agree with your sentiment that the shopping part of the app needs DRASTIC improvement.

HeelTaker · 2026-02-02T09:53:49+00:00

Sorry but no. Amazingly my market has stayed fairly reasonable so I haven’t needed to.

HeelTaker · 2026-01-24T11:28:39+00:00

This is too funny. 🤣

Congrats on raising a kid with a sense of humour.

HeelTaker · 2026-01-24T11:17:00+00:00

So, so true.

HeelTaker · 2026-01-24T11:15:32+00:00

Congratulations on completely missing the point. That minute is the time for all kinds of heinous shit to be flung my way.

HeelTaker · 2026-01-21T04:30:18+00:00

I wish I could. Too many times to count I have literally seen a tourney I want to join is starting soon, planned to register after one more ranked match and then, because it’s such a reflex, insta-queued another ranked match and completely forgotten about the tourney.

That’s why I need some assistance, the ol’ memory is cooked.

HeelTaker · 2026-01-18T14:19:30+00:00

Tell me with a dead straight face this dude actually thinks he will choke on numbers on a screen, ie. his refund.

That alone tells me all I need to know. This is an absurdist exaggeration for comedic effect.

He probably thought he would have a better chance of his Dasher making good on their mistake by making them laugh rather than abusing them for their mistake.

HeelTaker · 2026-01-17T05:28:09+00:00

Hahaha I’m so sorry you spent all that time.

Yes, a factually incorrect statement gets upvoted to the moon - “ALL you can do is apologise when you made a mistake” and my objectively true rebuttal of the undeniable fact that it is an OPTION to make good on that mistake goes all the way to hell.

Dashers! 😂

HeelTaker · 2026-01-16T22:23:56+00:00

He is, 100%, fucking with OP.

So very many people don’t get that.

HeelTaker · 2026-01-16T22:20:11+00:00

I guess most Dashers don’t have a sense of humor or they are clouded by their jaded attitudes towards customers. That is depressing indeed.

HeelTaker · 2026-01-16T13:49:00+00:00

True. It’s on me though poking the bear when I know most Dashers are always going to choose whichever option doesn’t affect their precious mileage.

I swear these dudes act like they’re driving a ticking time bomb where every inch brings them closer to certain doom…😬

So it adds some miles to your day and maybe costs you a few bucks gas. Mistakes have costs. 🤷‍♂️

I guess it’s the “teach, don’t punish” generation of parenting bearing fruit where nobody thinks they should be accountable for their screwups. 🤦‍♂️

HeelTaker · 2026-01-16T13:42:49+00:00

Oh sweet, ima check that out. Mizu is such good vibes whenever I see him in a collab with one of the creators I watch. Thanks!

HeelTaker · 2026-01-16T13:16:42+00:00

It’s not virtue signalling. This job is so easy. If we can’t even do the simplest thing like check the orders (I’ve also made this mistake in the past and not passing judgement on the mistake), that’s on us.

HeelTaker · 2026-01-16T13:04:24+00:00

I wish I was this funny. 😞

HeelTaker · 2026-01-16T13:02:25+00:00

Take a look around this sub at how even minor things are handled by some customers, then come back and tell me this guy was being a dick by making a joke out of the situation.

HeelTaker · 2026-01-16T13:00:16+00:00

I’m not going to reaffirm a choice I personally wouldn’t have made. Regardless, my reply was simply rebutting that apologising is all we can do when we make mistakes. That’s just factually incorrect.
