Balanced Commentary

[hawkheart]

Superb game from Dangerfield and as many viewers will have noticed, an absolute OTT love-fest from the TV commentators. Fine; but let's have a bit of balance - there was nary a peep when Paddy missed two elementary shots at goal in the last quarter at a (then) critical point in the game. When he's brilliant - fine, call it. But when a player makes elementary mistakes - a couple in a minute - call those too.

Malthouse didn't miss him about those as I listened to the radio driving out.

Not sure the need to have another thread about commentary, we are talking about channel seven here, they are hopeless all time

I don't understand the thread title. Can someone please explain what balanced commentary means? I've never come across it before.

meh...it's was United Nations International Dangerfield Day on Monday

This weekend will be St Nick Riewoldt Day, patron saint of beautiful losers and 'if only I could have that moment again' regret holders...

There's always the preferred narrative, don't let it get you down

An equal number of egos on both sides of the bench

This must be how some opposition supporters feel about Luke "Good Bloke" Hodge and Cyril "No One Else Can Do That" Rioli.

Some players are media favs and others are not. Every team has them.

Watch all games in mute. Weird at first once you get used to it you'll release how much the commentary detracts from the experience
