I'm getting quite sick of seeing regular interestingly titled articles in the Foxsports app just for the opening sentence to be "David King/Brendan Goddard says..."


Ugh!

Yep, existing just to create articles for ad revenue.

Goddard and Montagna have to be the most pissweak ex-players in the media right now. Being rolled out for hot takes on AFL Tonight is embarrassing. They're so clearly on training wheels.

King started off alright.

Now he just tries too hard. Fox's expert commentators need to just naturally analyse the game without trying to hype each moment as the best/worst thing going around, and each player as the 'next big thing'.

Riewoldt is a good example of who isn't excruciating for them.

A while ago on SEN, King clarified his infamous tip before the 2014 Grand Final, where he said that the Swans would win by 68 points.
He said was late replacement on the Fox Footy Grand Final preview show. Not long before the program, the producer called him to ask him for his tip so they could organise the graphics, and David said, "the Swans."
Producer: "By how much?"
King: "eh, I dunno; Maybe 6 to 8 goals."

He reckons that the first time his saw this graphic was when it popped onto the screen as he was giving his tip. Ok, 8 goals is still a big margin, but obviously not as big as 11 goals 2.
As has been said on here: to be fair, pretty much everyone tipped Sydney, but not by that much.
Good story, grandpa :grinv1:
