Gerard Whateley is a Melbourne-based sports commentator, writer for ABC Radio Grandstand and co-host of Fox Footy's AFL 360 program.
Whateley started his media career at the Herald Sun newspaper. He spent six years at the Herald Sun in which he gained experience including police rounds, courts and state politics. Whateley was also involved in the research of the Herald Sun's hardback book Our Home Front, documenting life in Australia during the Second World War from the newspapers of the time. Whateley became the paper's movie writer, then editor of HIT magazine (the Herald Sun's movie and music lift out), prior to being appointed senior writer for the newly released Sunday Magazine in 1998. Whateley travelled to the US and Europe, interviewing some of the world's famous people including Steven Spielberg, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kevin Spacey, Morgan Freeman, Geoffrey Rush, and Cindy Crawford. During this time, Whateley was heard for the first time on the ABC with a weekly segment reviewing videos on the afternoon program.

"Lose It" is a song by Britpop band Supergrass. It was released as a single from their debut album I Should Coco. Officially, it is the third single taken from the album. However, it was a vinyl-only US release on Sub Pop Records. Only 2,500 copies were originally pressed in 1995, making it somewhat of a rarity, but it is believed more copies have been pressed in the following years. On the strength of imports, it reached #75 in the UK singles chart in 1995.

The video for "Lose It" is featured exclusively in the extras section on the Supergrass is 10 DVD.
As well as there being a music video for "Lose It", there was a video for the acoustic version of Caught by the Fuzz. This was filmed in the same fashion as the original Caught by the Fuzz music video except using different footage, and with the addition of some scenes of Morris dancers.
AFL 360 is an Australian nightly talk show that deals with the issues in the Australian Football League (AFL). It currently airs on Fox Footy at 7:30 pm Mondays to Thursdays. 360 contrasts with most similar AFL talk-shows as its hosts, Gerard Whateley and Mark 'Robbo' Robinson, are professional journalists rather than ex-players turned journalists. The show also features players and coaches as regular guests.
AFL 360 was launched as a weekly show on Fox Sports in 2010, airing on Wednesday nights, and continued as such in 2011. In 2012, the show moved to the new Fox Footy channel, a sister channel to Fox Sports dedicated purely to AFL. Since then, the show airs four times per week, apart from occasions in which there is a Monday or Thursday night match in the AFL. The final episode each year airs the Monday after the Grand Final.
The show has also aired additional episodes during the season under the AFL 360 banner, such as an extended interview between Whateley and Mick Malthouse in 2015, just days after he was sacked as Carlton coach.
