Dwayne ' shit commentator ' Russell - PART 2 in 3d

[richoatthedisco]

"I do listen to myself."

No shit, campaigner.

 

[Wojcinski]

John sounds like he gets his footy knowledge from the nuffs on BF. Dwayne cooked him

John is spot on about his Eddy Ford point though. Dwayne does this a lot. He finds some really negative stat about a player or team and just goes on and on about it.

Maybe as a neutral its cool to hear him harp on about David Swallow never playing finals, but when its your team on the end of another flogging hearing him sink the boot in, with these stats is painful.

 

[Mentallo]

The noise of affirmation has already got a run this arvo.
I have never in my life seen a player "strut" in when taking a set shot at goal, walk, jog or run but never strut.
Derrrrrwayne is the only commentator who thinks players strut into to goal.

He's adding colour.

I swear some of you lot want a robot or some dullard who knows nothing about the game like Pappalia commentating.

Naughton marks - "The astronaut on Mars"

Green marks on 3 quarter time siren - "Clockwork Orange"

Ed Richards goal - "Right Said Ed"

You missed his best one “Smoking Joel Freijah“

 

[tugga]

Got home and was excited to watch the last quarter.
A minute in and a “miracle” goal was scored.
**** off with your shit hyperbole you campaigner.

Yes, that colour is brown.

 

[NSWCROW]

Bustin' 'em all out today !

 

[BluesBusiness1991]

Holy moly didn’t know he supported the dogs!! Coincidence he played for port and Geelong?

 

[The Made Guy]

Bustin' 'em all out today !

His last game calling for Fox this year.

 

[010203]

His last game calling for Fox this year.

Bring out the hundreds and thousands!

As news goes, that is crazy good!

 

[010203]

Given the lack of finals in Melbourne before the GF, will the Pipe travel to call for sen?

 

[Partridge]

Yes, that colour is brown.

And like other objects of that colour, the sooner he is flushed the better.

Papalia is 1000x the commentator Russell is without even trying. No hype, no screaming, no insanity, just calls the game and accentuates where it is needed (which actually isn't that often).

Papalia is the most boring man alive, absolute no personality and injects nothing into a game. do you guys just want what's seeable on the screen repeated to you?

I want commentators who:

• Don't insult the intelligence of the viewers who actually understand the game perfectly well without you
• Don't yell and scream EVERY. SINGLE. WORD. LIKE. IT'S. IMPORTANT. (It isn't)
• Don't pretend the most basic skills that any 14-year-old can do are amazing, or magical, or incredible. They aren't.
• Don't inject horrific terms from other sports that have no place in footy (Russell is one of the absolute worst at this).
• Don't pretend you're at the game where you're watching on a screen in South Melbourne.
• Above all, don't try to be the star. The players are. The commentators are not.

Commentary is like umpiring. If you don't notice them, they're doing a pretty good, if not excellent job. To your point, I don't see why commentators need to inject anything into a game. Especially themselves.

 

[Slime Roy]

Just wondering,

Is it common knowledge that Derwruss hosts his show from home?

I don't remember it being brought up but it was mentioned on Edmund's hand over spot today.

He hates the cats .
Seems that way.

Dance steps.

Gerard Healy pushed him once on air to divulge his true allegiance out of Port and Geelong. I think it was before the Port vs Geelong Grand Final. He tried to sit on the fence, and got a bit cranky, but eventually admitted he supported Port over Geelong

 

[thejester]

That’s not quite my memory of it - I think he said he was backing Port to win, the implication being he supported them over Geelong.

 

[rocker_oz33]

I don't think he likes the cats that much.

 

[Mentallo]

Christ imagine having to choose between him calling Fri night footy on Fox and JB calling on 7.

Will it be firing squad or beheading for you today sir?

I thought they were getting Gerrard and Huddo to do Friday Night Footy?

I have felt for a long time he was a cats supporter through x2, but when port made and won the 2004 flag he basically lovingly assaulted tredrea at the airport.

he just goes for the winner
