Bruce MacAvaney openly barracking for Hawthorn in commentary

[YippeeYiYeo]

Network 7 need to tap Bruce on the shoulder and tell him his time is up. Doesnt even try to disguise his clear bias for Hawthorn.

 

[Boston tiger]

Been sick of him for years now

Suits the AFL's umpiring corruption.
If he ignores it then majority will forget about it.

Don't worry, Dennis and Carey are the Fremantle cheer squad.

Haven't noticed. I think you're just hoping for an all WA GF and going for Freo. Commentators always seem to be supporting the team you're not.

 

[Dizzy Stuff]

Didn't even notice. He's from Adelaide so I'm not sure why he would be 'barracking' for Hawthorn (Cyril aside). I think Dennis' Freo bias is more obvious.

 

[PhiloBeddoe]

It's pretty bad and Lingy's not far behind in the BS stakes as well.

 

[BoxMatrix]

The whole channel 7 team is Hawthorn TV.

It's ******* ridiculous and impossible listen to.

Should rename thread to "Umpires openly barracking for Hawthorn on ground"

Even with the bias, I'd rather hear him than Ling.

You just realise this now?

Bruce doesn't cheer on any particular group of men.

He's a traditional 1 on 1 kind of guy.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

It's just unprofessional, and that's angering because it doesn't befit the occasion at all.
It's flat-out pathetic.

Ive been reading this forum for about 3-4 years and tonight has moved me to sign up.

Some shocking posts from those who think one or two lucky calls mean the AFL is corrupt in Hawthorn's favour. I guess I said the same in 2009 when the umpires saw Geelong home, but that was far far worse than tonight

As an aside, I'm shocked by the Perth fans showing horrific racism towards Sam Mitchell tonight.

Almost spat my beer across the room when Bruce suggested that hale and McEvoy "double banged" Sandilands. Otherwise, yes he has been pretty hard to listen to.

 

[Naked_North]

It's really really bad

 

[Naked_North]

Hes getting worse as the game goes on

 

[MickyG]

Carey is the one that irritates me. Usually barracking for Hawthorn. Most things he says are wrong. Worst commentator IMO. I just don't pay much attention to any of them.

 

[Hydrurga]

I would honestly rather listen to Dwayne Russell and Brian Taylor.

 

[BoxMatrix]

Cameron Ling....

Oh my god. Can he pless try and hide his bias?

 

[ANDYG5]

You can hear the commentary desk rise whenever Cyril does something clever.

 

[GetDimmaBack]

Every Hawfs game is a Hodge love-in for Bruce.

 

[Parasite]

Got his tongue shoved that far up the Hawks ass its in the small intestine. Gee hodgey is a Champ isn't he, such a champ, brilliant and a champ.

 

[ntrust]

Perhaps they don't want to bite the hand that feeds them.
