Well if this is it it was disappointing. Nothing new, the cameras missed play on quite a few occassions , no stats .
They've found a biased WA commentator.
I would loke a clock, not showing how much time left but how much time has expired.

Spot on there.

Commentators - same old.

Camera work - ordinary to poor.

Replays - Poor.

Stats - non existant

Clock - at least something would be nice. As it was, apart from the commentators mentioning it once or twice, if you didn't take note of what time a qtr started, you had no idea.

Would want to improve as much as the Dogs. Pretty ordinary first up effort.

I thought the coverage sucked.
-At least 3 times when they showed replays you could see them rewinding on the screen
-No clock at all, I know it is meant to add to the excitement but at least a clock showing how many minutes in would be good
-The sounds was dodgy, evey now and then you could hardly hear the commentators
-Tiffany Cherry was pitiful

The only thing I liked was the commentary. I have always like Dennis and I thought Ben Allen was alright. He was a bit bias, but considering he coached them last season it is remarkable that he wasn't more biased.
But the main reason I liked Allen was because of a couple of things he said. He said that if he was a recruiter and had the number one pick in the draft he would have taken Power. He also said that Johnson was the best small forward in the league when played there. While this is painfully obvious most people r morons and say Lappin is better.
He also showed his supreme intelligence when saying Hunter had become a very good and versatile footballer.
But someone tell Ben that Harro has played one year with us and not 2

I also forgot to mention the worst part. Instead of showing stats you got a little fact file on the players.
It had name, age and nickname. Who gives a crap whether Ben Harrison is called Harro or Rohan Smith Smithy, I'd prefer to see how many kicks they have had.
It reminded me of the old Scanlens footy cards where the names were Doug "Hawk" Hawkins

I watched the game last night and didnt notice much of a difference with the coverage.The only thing i noticed missing was the stats.I would also like to see how much time is left in a game on tv but not for it to be at a live match.
