AO tv coverage

[Xtreme]

Not sure who gave it the green light, but we did not need a highlights package that finished with Hamish dancing around like a moron.

 

[Flameboy]

Well, that vision is going to haunt Hamo... Hahahahaha

 

[OzBomber]

Hamish loves digging his own hole. Will be all over BF in .gif form by tomorrow.

 

[wally funk]

Did we hear the old Hambone utter the s-word when that stupid clip came up? Or am I just drunk? Could be enough to see him dismissed from the coverage (wishful thinking)

 

[pepsi]

I think it is enough to dismiss him from all media duties full stop. Maybe we should start a petition about it.

Can we actually do this? This needs to be a thing, he's literally the most unbearable campaigner on TV.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Can't believe we came back from a break in that women's double match to find we had missed the first three points of the next game! Way below acceptable channel 7

 

[wally funk]

But the viewers don't care about doubles, right? Especially not women's doubles...?

Er, uh, actually we do. Well done, morons.

They were promoting it heavily during the Federer match too to make it even more ridiculous.

Yes! And then in the women's doubles were promoting all the other matches for the next day They ruin what they promote by promoting other things.... insane.

Don't get me started on the practice of showing interviews on that stupid mega wall while play is continuing meaning I have to press my nose to the screen to try and follow the play!!!

He is getting ready for Dancing With The Stars

 

[Hodgepodge]

Hamish McIntosh promoting Federer/Tsonga as "The Goat vs. Ali" really annoyed me.

I hope Basil Zempilas stays in Melbourne and does not come back to WA.

He has hair like a profiterole.

And what is with his leaning forward in his chair and angling his head all the time? It's like he's doing a Macavaney impression.

Good to see 7 covering the Kyrgos-Kokkinakis final tomorrow. Definitely tuning in to watch.

He does it on 7news in Perth aswell

 

[hirdy_is_champ]

He reads the news as well? I feel sorry for you Perth people.

Also, poor form from 7 last night not showing legends doubles. We already know what happened in the women's semis, bloody show it afterwards if you have to. Its not like the singles match went forever.

 

[wally funk]

Advertising Azarenka vs Li: "The red flag of China versus Redfoo". Jesus, who writes these things?

Well the Sport part anyway

He said about 7-8 of those 'the man with the olympic sized resume versus the man with the olympic gold medal' for Fed/Murray. 4 consecutively at one point iirc.

Give us a spell Hamish/7.

 

[Xtreme]

We did not need the umpire cam of Murray approaching the chair.... not a good look.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Really enjoyed watching the boys final today with Newc, Fitzy and I think it was Todd Woodbridge. They need to offload Bruce ASAP - endless stats add nothing to the commentary.

"Not bad for a communist country."

Seriously?

 

[AM]

Just wish 7 would drop the habit of so often shooting the first few shots from ground level.

Oh! And time for Sandy to toddle off.

It's terrible, we have no sense of depth or width of the shots going to the far end, yet they seem to persist with it!
