Roast 2014 Comical commentary thread

[Argy]

BT commenting on a Geelong set shot for goal... "It's like the golf, sometimes you don't know whether to aim left or aim right." Richo... "Why not aim at the middle, there's no wind."

 

[Thaihawk]

Wonder if CH 7 are on Brian watch tonight ?, and if it possible for him to go one game without saying something stupid.

Not possible for him to say one sentence without saying something stupid.

 

[Thaihawk]

To get a gig as a footy commentator you need to pass an IQ test. The lower you score the better chance you have of getting employed.

Two quotes from today's game GWS V Cats.
Geelong have the best forward setup at the present. Check the stats before making such ridiculous statements.
Geelong have cemented second spot. Sorry Brian, but when you cement something it is permanent, their hold on second is temporary.

 

[MightyHawks86]

Brian did seem rather subdued tonight (for the first half at least - was boorish business as usual for the rest)...

Hope you guys are prepared for the Saturday night commentary team this weekend, I can hear the $ydney love in already

More reason to be at the game.

Who's on?

Who's on?

Presumably the ususal; BT, Darce and Richo.

Do as I do, mute the TV and turn on one of the radio commentaries.

Yeah, MMM! Everything's a Carlton Draft, McDonald's or Harvey Norman stat. Can't stand the way they pretend like they've been eating whatever special burger is on the market that weekend.
Or ABC with that Irish guy commentating. Seriously sounds weird having an Irish guy commentating.

Try SEN then. All of them are superior to Channel 7 IMO. At least they describe the game for the most part unlike the channel 7 commentators.

OK, I'll give them a go. I tried them once and thought the commentating was a bit bland...may have been a once-off. It's hard to get really good commentary.

 

[Hawthorn United]

Not sure if this is the right thread or not, but it's the closest topic.

I hate how all other leagues and games of footy outside of AFL just don't exist for commentators.

Ie. Someone might be playing their 10th AFL game, but all the junior, VFL/SANFL/WAFL games don't exist so they're automatically tagged "hasn't played much footy". Usually used when beaten in a one on one contest.

There are a number of quality players on our list who "haven't played much footy." I hope the media continue to suggest that Litherland hasn't played much footy on the off-chance that other clubs buy into it and don't pursue him come year's end. I'm probably dreaming, though.

Any tips / techniques on how to synch the radio commentary to the delayed TV picture? I'm talking FTA coverage here... no PVR (at this stage).

Finals footy or footy trip? The missing players who offer their clubs the most upside heading into September

HAWTHORN (3rd, 12-4)


OTHER KEYS TO RETURN? Cyril Rioli is the Hawks’ true X-factor but isn’t as important to the team’s structure as Gibson. Rioli and Bradley Hill have been sorely missed in recent weeks as the Hawks suffered a couple of losses. WRONG! we have lost once (to NM) in the past 8 weeks. Hill is close a return but Rioli will keep us guessing right up to September. Brad Sewell is a week away with a hamstring injury and Brian Lake still has two weeks to run on his suspension. WRONG! Lake has 3 weeks left on his suspension.

HEALTH OF LIST: C. The reigning premier has been fighting an uphill battle all season and to sit third with five weeks left is a fantastic effort. Alastair Clarkson hopes to have a fully-fit list come the business end of the season.

Ben and Ben.... lazy, lazy flowerpot men.

I mean seriously! Even if Ben and Ben are 17 or mentally handicapped or - one can only presume - both, you would think that between the 2 of them they could get this shit right. I didn't even mention the grammar errors or the fact that this is but 1 summary of 18. I honestly think they would be better served getting these articles written up by members of this forum. At least we have peer enforced accountability with the figures we publish.

Mate, I share your pain. The work experience kids should be monitored more closely.

I was listening to ABC 774 this afternoon. The traffic report said that there was congestion outside Etihad Stadium due to the Carlton North Game.
Gee. It must be difficult getting out of that ground.

Anyone who still listens to the 7 team in 2014, deserves shit commentary

Seriously, what does a radio cost?!

I'm in the uk so radio ain't an option but like all bf posters, I Have access to a smart phone or at the least, net access. Takes about 10 secs to synch sen to the tv.

I've not heard bt's voice live in months.

How do you synch Sen to the TV?

Pause whichever one is ahead. I use the umpires whistle as a mark as you can hear it on both.
