The Age reports he said on his said on his Sounding Board podcast, “After the show on Tuesday night I let my colleagues know that I was choosing to hang the boots up from Footy Classified after 18 years, and in advance I had contacted Eddie [McGuire] and arranged to go and see him on Wednesday, not because I needed to, but out of respect because originally Eddie was the one that gave me the opportunity to go to Nine and host that show.
“Then I let the Nine execs know on Wednesday that I didn’t intend to continue.”
