I saw it yesterday. Was I the only one to notice they used every commentary but channel 7’s at least for the Prelim and GF? I think also the QF but not also 100% positive on that. I don’t blame them but it was interesting.
Overall it was a brilliant documentary and well worth the wait and the price of the ticket.

Yeah I immediately noticed that they never used the 7 commentary
Pretty sure it's universally accepted that 7's commentary was genuinely atrocious for the GF and basically across the entire finals series.
Not sure what's happened because I LOVED JB and BT on Triple M so not sure what's going on with them at 7.
Channel 7 need to throw all the money in the world at Gerard Whately because he's the best in the game right now. Huddo not too far behind him.

I was in the same boat.
Was hoping to see it this upcoming long weekend, but looks like it's being broadcast on Ch.7 which is great.
The bleeper will be working overtime.

JB screamed "Wow" or "Wowee" constantly
BT and JB lack the gravitas required to give a momentous sporting event the sense of genuine significance and drama it demands. Their GF commentary was flat and very forced when the big moments came along. BT seemed tired and as though he had something else on his mind. Disappointing. Imagine a combination of Bruce and Whateley covering our grannie.
Tim Lane is another excellent commentator.

Huddo is pretty good of the modern commentators
His call of Didak’s Qualifying final goal against the Dogs is great

The Channel 7 commentary was garbage. No memorable lines/quotes I can remember from either Taylor or Brayshaw.
I miss the days of Cometti and Bruce (even past his prime) commentating the GF.

Steele Sidebottom's kicks one of the all time great goals in a Grand Final, and all we get is "wowee".
We deserve better as viewers.
Yep, compare that to Dwayne’s call of it on SEN.
I agree on Gerard Whately, though I do find it interesting that Fox don’t use him as a TV commentator. He seems to be exclusively a radio caller at the moment. Not sure if that is his choice or the network’s choice.

I was thinking the same thing
He and Huddo’s call of the prelim and GF for AW were top class.
The call of both final sirens just gives you goosebumps

I made the trek to Sunnybank yesterday to watch it, too. It was even sweeter watching it in Brisbane territory... and even more pleasing to see the cinema near capacity with Collingwood fans. Go Pies!!

I hope not. It wasn't that excessive and was typically used for emphasis, particularly from Fly. It added to the authenticity. When you hear it from cleanskins like Fly and Nick, it actually means something.

BT and Brayshaw are a disgrace, frankly. There is so much better out there. You'd think that with the value of the broadcast rights the likes of Seven and Fox would recruit better. I abhor listening to both BT and Brayshaw but BT's obvious bias against Collingwood (for who knows what reason) is infuriating!

the other 3 calls on the dvd are a breath of fresh air compared to the dirge BT & Brayshaw dished up.

there was a family with a couple of young kids sitting next to me in the session I went to. The oldest kid couldnt have been any older then 10. I did wonder what they thought of Nick, Darcy & Pendles dropping F bombs.

He was cooked
Unfortunately that's correct. If he was fit and managed to avoid getting knocked out by Daniher we win that GF by 70 or 80 points.
