Certified Legendary Thread Hamish Mclachlan and wikipedia - a must read for every footy fan - now going nuts on the interwebz

[drd23]

I'll take that as Ch7 not rating him highly enough to send to the Olympics.

None of the presenters or commentators went to Tokyo - C7 sent some people to interview athletes at the events (along with the requisite support staff)

 

[Shane Heard]

Crossing from the Lions/WC to the start of Geelong v Dees ..Hammer
incorrectly told the viewers how good it was that Cameron sealed the top 4 spot with a goal after the siren.

He’s such a dill picklehead.

Not even Basil Z?

He kept banging on about that result during the Cats-Demons game, that is where I had to mute him.

I feel for him a bit there because the games pretty much overlapped, he had to be live on air rather than watching the end of the Lions game intently. That mistake, or at least the inability to fix it right away, seems to be as much the producer in his ears fault as his.

In general I think the 7 guys don't get a lot of help from their producers. Of course the question is whether the producers aren't all that good or if after trying to correct BT for the 10,000th time some poor guy or girl has either given up trying or had a mental breakdown and moved jobs.

Yes..of course…it’s always the producers fault

Nope, the most "high profile" people that actually went to Tokyo were Mel Mclaughlin, Jason Richardson (trackside interviews for Track & Field) and Nathan Templeton (poolside interviews for the swimming).

People like Bruce McAvaney or Basil just did the commentary off a tv screen back at Channel 7 HQ

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

How is this bloke still in a job? No personality and so forced in front of the camera. He’s a cringeworthy operator and needs to go. Bring back the old school genuine footy vibe!

"The Last Time I Cried" was an enterprise of Hamish's production company. It was so boring it had to be picked up by AFL.com (Gill) and nobody watched it on there either. The concept was "tough men" being interviewed by Hamish and talking about the last time they cried. Even a show like Open Mike is often boring... so i don't know how Hamish expected anyone to watch his show.

jesus h Christ ..what a depressing concept. I’ve obviously missed all the riveting episodes but I watched the first 23 seconds of this one

Hamish making it all about himself and crying
It’s must watch viewing. Emotional. Heartbreaking. Narcissistic.

Tell everyone how live TV works.

Exactly. it was entirely narcissistic. and faux heartbreaking and faux emotional.

Hamish came across as an entitled sheltered yuppie pretending to be woke about a very ancient idea of male chauvinism (that strong men don't cry).

Everything he does or says or creates is football adjacent, including his commentary.

Yep..basically…he’s a c-head

 

[Ash24]

Some of this commentary is horrendous. Anyone know what team/s Hame and JB support?

I heard Geelong last week for Hame and JB is North.

Rompingwins is hopeless.

Watching Bulldogs game yesterday and he says "Bontempelli to Smith" (might have been 2 different players) "....not for the first time this afternoon".
This was 2 and a half minutes into the 1st quarter.
What a nimrod.

Was looking at another wiki earlier which reads a little “suspect”

This is a bit off-topic, but there's obviously a Richmond fan who writes the Wiki pages for our players, because many of them are extraordinarily long

I've noticed this too.

It shows that the editor does a fair amount of research.

The Richmond player pages are easily the most comprehensive and detailed of the lot.

Not Rhett.

Someone else.

I forget his user name.

C7 must really love him, gets to be "about the place" and commentate both finals.

that’s sort of the whole point of Wikipedia. People who are passionate about a topic write about it.

Should be called w***erpedia, because most educational institutions don’t allow it as part of research and also because Lameish is on it
