The downfall of Fox Footy.

[Tugga27]

Is Champion Data paying Foxtel to have Daniel Hoyne on First Crack Preview?

This program has become death by statistics, completely inane stats that provide zero benefit for the viewer. Following on from the too cool for school jayz ruining the Sunday edition, there is no longer a watchable program on Fox.

Just watching it and thought exactly the same.

****ing dreadful.

At Halftime, going with a “highlights” package of the WB sickening injuries to build anticipation for their game tomorrow. Who tf makes these decisions?

 

[IMTOPS]

Fox Footy and DAZN - no one cares about your boxing cross promotions to watch Tim Tsyzu and pay $70 for the privilege.

I’m tipping Foxtel won’t exist within 5 years.

This grinds my gears big time.
Ya watch footy?
Then you must automatically love UFC & boxing so we are going to ram it down your throat at every given opportunity.

Left a bit to be desired last night. Howie and King on the same game is too much.

Then post game highlights they split screen and show the commentators. We don't want to see you, you useless narcissists. The players are the attraction, not you.

Definitely a pet peeve about modern sports broadcasting

Not as much as ramming down every other US sport - basketball and football in particular.

 

[Doss]

Howie utterly wrecked the immediate post-game by conjuring a ‘debate’ out of his arseh*le about the whole concept of a draw.

Just would not drop it.

And hearing his annoying voice all year round across the footy and cricket has just about worn out its welcome.

 

[steviewonder36]

I like Sara Jones though....

 

[Zach Package]

The David King and Jack Riewoldt combo is a genuine modern day beavis and butthead

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

They got a bit lazy and arrogant when it came to staffing

The only thing I think of when I hear Fox Footy is David Kings grating voice . They kind of made him the heart and soul of the channel and while he is ok he isn’t the guy to base your entire channel on like he is

If they hired better I think a lot of their problems are fixed

 

[TigerRoar]

Since when did fox start showing adds at the bottom of the screen during their broadcast? So much for ad free footy and we pay the privilege for it.

I am absolutely doing my nut watching this broadcast. ZOOM OUT! I love the Bont but I don't need a 24/7 camera zoomed in on him so much that I presume the objective is the cameraman / director want to see his ****.

AFL directive to use Bont's **** to hide the crowd

Last night I wasn’t sure if I was watching an AFL game or a medical documentary about Steele Sidebottom’s hand injury. Cut to it on the bench again guys, I wanna see another angle.

How come fox footy continually miss centre bounces?

How come fox footy continually miss centre bounces?

Fox is not covering the game with their cameras. They are not the host broadcaster. They are not zooming in on Bont either. Ch7 is host broadcaster and they miss the bounce because they run too many replays after their ad break. If you see the bounce in a box in a corner its 7's feed. Fox do it the other way around, with a replay in a box.

Tbf, i've seen plenty of fox exclusive games over show the replay on full screen and miss the centre, they've certainly over run replays on kick ins and we've missed live play.

They both suck in different ways

Ken Hinkley might be insightful, but he sounds like a mortician.

 

[Tenens Pila]

Credit where credit is due.

That was a brilliant call of the winning goal by Dwayne Russell.

 

[pattymalone00]

I assume there desprate to get to the golf but if we are gonna have 2 Friday games can we atleast give the secondary game decent treatment barely any pre and post game coverage for the showdown…?

ever get a gig in the footy media and how is he still in it? Is this the best Fox Footy can do? Holy shit.

Same as Ricciuto. Together it’s punishment. Hinkley also needs to receive the instruction not comment on every single thing he sees - he does not stop making two word observations. If you save them words up Kenny, you’ll eventually have a sentence.

 

[ReturningHawk]

Ken, you don’t need to have a reaction to every single thing you see. Save them words up, and you’ll eventually have a coherent comment to share with the viewers.

Personally couldn't give a rats toss bag about seeing every kick out after a behind, but my point is on a Thursday and Friday when the game is also on 7, Fox is not controlling the coverage.
