Broadcaster Brendan Fevola says he knew Kyle Sandilands would be a failure in Melbourne.
Sandilands, who has been sacked from KIIS FM along with his co-host Jackie O Henderson, was one of Fevola’s most vocal critics.
“I think he’ll be right, and that’s just him. He did fire back and put people to the sword,’’ Fevola said.
“We went about our business and didn’t worry about them coming in from Sydney. It’s a different market in Melbourne, not really suited to his style, and we just stuck to our game plan.”
Fevola’s FOX FM breakfast team enjoyed a spike in the last radio ratings survey.
The Carlton great used his first day of leave to visit Kangaroo Island with his family ahead of Gather Round in South Australia.
With an itinerary including dolphin swims, checking out Seal Bay, The Cliffs (KI’s new golf course) and more, and so far he is impressed.
He’ll be crossing live into the Gather Round Spectacular show on Tuesday night.
“I’ve never been and it’s an amazing place,’’ Fevola said.
“The pure nature of it all is really exciting, loving the seals, the wild park and sea lions. The girls were meant to go with Alex to Italy with Runway Room but they cancelled with everything going on in the world. It’s nice to be here.”
