4:15Now PlayingPresented by the Australian comedy duo, Greig Pickhaver aka ‘H. G. Nelson’ and John Doyle aka ‘Rampaging-Roy Slaven’ this segment takes an affectionate but wry look at the ABC’s contribution to sports broadcasting over 90 years, only to conclude “We were robbed. The commercials stole everything!”
The characters Roy & H.G. are based on stereotypes in sports journalism: Nelson the excitable announcer, and Slaven the retired sportsman turned expert commentator.
The duo's long-running triple j radio program This Sporting Life was added to the National Film and Sound Archive's Sounds of Australia registry in 2013.
Roy and HG's weekly show Bludging on the Blindside airs on Saturday afternoons on ABC Sport, ABC Local Radio, and the ABC Listen app, as well as podcast platforms.
