That was a brilliant call of the winning goal by Dwayne Russell.
When the moment calls Dwayne delivers. He actually is best when he is with Huddo but the two barely call games together.

They are on together this Sunday night so we'll see how it goes. The fact Fox and the public until recently sees Hill as a better caller than Russsell is ridiculous. I'd take Dwayne any day of the week.

Matt Hill started off well - no theatrics, no smart-alec stuff.

Just called the game straight.

A breath of fresh air, so to speak.

Unfortunately, he has been well and truly 'Howardised' by constantly being paired with the most over-rated caller on the Fox roster.

Drawn & quartered sir or electric chair?
You choose.
 
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.
You need to see every kickout after a behind because if miss some you will likely miss the bad turnover that costs a goal. Live action should always take precedence over anything else

Sure, but if your full forward has just been clearly arm chopped but didn't get a free and the ball dribbles over for a behind do you want to see a replay of it or not?

In all seriousness, how many times in a game is the kick out missed and how many times is there a turnover after that missed kickout?

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.
I think we are talking about different things. Whether it's a fox exclusive game or a channel 7 one they almost always miss the centre bounce after a goal. Sometimes it's just off, others by the time they get to it there's already been a clearance. I would've thought it's pretty easy to avoid that.

Just when I thought the First Crack Preview couldn't get any worse after having the Champion Data guy on last week, it has.

They've tried to turn it into a comedy.

So now when not getting a load of inane stats pumped out, they're all trying to crack jokes.

Honestly switch over to 7. Your life will be better.

The Agenda Setters is better than everything FF offer during the week, and their coverage is better too.

I have no shows left to watch.
Ship of fools.

So Huddo is responsible for the basketball references around Scott Pendlebury.
 
Jay Clark's first crack on First Crack? Whether Toby Greene and Jeremy Cameron could be teammates again, this time at Geelong next year.

Good to see he hasn't changed from last year. Huddo, Dicko anybody else please host First Crack instead.

I haven't watched though did he spend 10 mins getting his point across again?

If they want a journo to be the 3rd banana, then get someone like David Zita who just looks happy to be there. Really rate him.

If they want a host, get Kath, Sarah or Huddo again. Jay just derails the whole show.

He is terrible.
I can only summise that HS pay a ton for him to appear on Fox.
 
Fox Footy and DAZN - no one cares about your boxing cross promotions to watch Tim Tsyzu and pay $70 for the privilege.
It's worse on the Rugby League shows, Matty Johns used to always plug them for a whole segment on his Sunday Night show just before the betting odds segment
