Never paid any attention to him, thought he was just the bloke on the panel who was supposed to guide the ex-footy players through the various segments.
Until a few weeks ago - when the ex-players (even Daley) were saying that the media beat-up over the Bookie brawl was ridiculous and no-one should miss any finals - and Mr Phelan in a very authoritative tone said no they were very wrong, and gave a little speech defending his masters' editorial policies. Never had much cred anyway but lost it all forever with me at that moment.
