I'm so happy he wont be commentating anymore

 

[Sugar2Sideshow]

Yaaaaaaay!

 

[Jack Bradley]

Thank god - can Darcy join him?

 

[Upgrayedd]

Yessssss

 

[JUBJUB]

Christmas has come early for all

 

[BarneyBent]

Rubbish commentator. Good footy brain. Positive move all round.

 

[AM]

Good pick-up for the Swannies.

 

[dmc333]

I'm sure there's a ready-made robot replacement coming off the line.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

I didn't think he was that bad at channel 7 . Not Leigh Mathews but not Luke Darcy either.

 

[ElitePunter]

Hey, hey, how about that weather out there? Whoa, that was the caller from hell. Well hot dog, we have a wiener.

 

[replicant]

Really, you guys are celebrating Harley going from 7?

If i ranked them in order, he'd be a long way down the list of commentators i can't stand. Better than average.

There is a very real chance the replacement will be twice as floggish. You'll probably all be fondly remembering Tom by halfway through next season when the next dribbling idiot is loving the way they go about it.

Good for our footy department though. To get a solid leader from a good club background like Geelong is a real bonus.

 

[Docker Alyssa]

As long as the replacement on friday night football special comments isn't Nick Maxwell or Bolton I'm cool with it.

In fact those two should at most be boundary riders on saturday ARVO. At most.

 

[Stereophonic]

In Maxwell out Harley.

Yawwwnnnn......

He's being replaced by Carey & Ling
While Carey is a w***er his commentary is way better than Harley.

LOL, did you watch the prelim with North and Sydney? Carey was barracking like Roos used to (and that used to drive even Sydney fans up the wall).

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

He's been their chief PR rep for years. This is just a new title.

 

[gutsroy]

Sydney to rocket to number one in the league in positive self-talk, game-changer. (He goes on about that stuff a bit, seems like a good bloke, though.)

 

[Tas]

Thank you, Swans.

 

[Roobs321]

Good move, he looked less interested in the media side this season (and even annoyed at some of the dribble around him at times). Wise move on his part.

 

[Nostradumbass]

good riddance

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Has been a Sydney mouthpiece for years. Good ******* riddance.

 

[shintemaster]

I feel an immense sense of relief.

 

[RainMachine]

If we have to pay him to stop him commentating, so be it.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

so today's not a complete footy write-off. That's good news
