Channel 7’s outgoing footy reporter Tom Browne has meet up with media heavyweight Eddie McGuire, but he’s not expecting a job offer anytime soon.

Putting the squeeze on Victoria’s movers, shakers and headline makers.

Channel 7 ‘s outbound footy reporter Tom Browne has met behind closed doors with media boss Eddie McGuire.

The surprise meeting came days after Browne gave his shock resignation to footy bosses.

McGuire and Browne worked together on the top rating Triple M show, Hot Breakfast.

Sadly, the clickbait ends here.

Browne, McGuire and fellow Hot Breakfast news hound Seb Costello reunited for the wedding of their former producer, Michael James.

The wedding, with reception at Panama Dining Room, was attended by guests including broadcaster Derryn Hinch and AFL great Peter McKenna.

The groom’s father is 3AW broadcaster Darren James.

Browne told Seven last week that he would be pursuing a new career path in 2024 and would leave the network after the 2023 footy season.

Browne will move north to start a new role as a video content producer for Sydney Swan’s chairman Andrew Pridham’s MA Financial Group.

“I majored in finance at Melbourne Uni and did law so I am going to merge my media skills and production skills and finance and give it a crack,” he told a Triple M radio show last week.

Browne said he was not ruling “anything in or out” when asked about the likelihood of him returning to the media.

He described the pressure of being a footy reporter as like: “being in a phone booth and all the windows being blacked out and you not knowing where the exit is, because you never know how to connect different bits of information and what that leads to.”

Nine exec roasts The Block stars

In terms of unscripted content, it was a doozy.

Nine’s head of content, production and development, Adrian Swift, did a drive-by on everyone in a hilarious speech to launch the 19th season of the network’s renovation juggernaut, The Block.

Ironically, the zingers went down at the site of the new season builds — a suburban enclave in Hampton named Charming St.

Swift said he tried comparing The Block to other Nine shows.

“It’s not like Lego Masters because none of our judges cry like Brickman,” Swift said.

“It’s not like 60 Minutes because it never runs to time.”

He added, rather spicily: “This season is very much like MAFS. The MAFS dinner parties have nothing on this season of The Block.”

Shaynna Blaze and Darren Palmer are kicking off another season of The Block.

Swift then spilt some behind the scenes secrets, including regular musings on judge Shaynna Blaze’s wardrobe choices for the weekly production screenings.

“Last week, it was something that looked like a communicator from the Starship Enterprise,” Swift revealed.

Co-judge Darren Palmer, he added, “always rubs himself” — dramatic pause — “on the render.”

Poor Palmer almost choked on his spanakopita.

“I’m so glad you said ‘on the render,’” Palmer interrupted meekly.

But Swift wasn’t done.

“You stroke the woodwork gently,” he told Palmer.

“It’s a beautiful thing to see.”
