Campbell Brown……..I can only shake my head….

It drives me mad that the boys club footy media consistently reward a thug by giving him media gigs

Here is a moron who was sacked from his own club for breaking a teammates jaw.... yet was welcomed with open arms into Triple M, 9 and now 7...
all because he is a 'good bloke' I'm sure....

he's an ordinary 'personality' who struggles to spit his words out IMO

Add Wayne Carey with his awful record against women

And on top of that its not like his analysis is that great. Sure he has insight but there are many others just as good.

I agree with both these comments.... but actually don't mind Carey as much


Which obviously contradicts my other post.... maybe I'm blinded by hawthorn hate with Brown

But but he can do an amusing fake race call.
Won't be long an footy commentary will be to the level of the cricket commentary if it hasn't already got there or lower.

The brilliant Guardian article that skewered the cricket commentary summed it up perfectly:

"It’s friendship as public performance."

That was as good an article I've read on biased commentary.
A lot of it could apply to football.

I honestly think you'd just need to copy and paste the names of the commentators. Not surprising that Bradshaw is a common denominator too.

There was a guy commentating on our game against the Suns on Sunday who was woeful! He had that dreadful Bill Lawry done! I was ready to stab him!

Always enjoyed Allan McGilvray commentating the cricket, we used to go to his house after school for afternoon tea, he + MrsMcG were the most delightful couple. Some of my happiest memories of high school.
