The problem I have with the commentary is that the whole game is commentated as if it's a book with Collingwood as the protagonist and the Eagles are their opponent for this specific chapter.

Also the reaction to Duggan's mark was a disgrace.
Exactly. We don't need the narrative, or cheering for the underdog. Call the game at hand. We're there for the footy, not the caller's ego trip.

Sam McClure giving redheads a bad name since 91.
Is there a bigger flog of a journo in the game than Sam McClure?

Not a big fan of Darcy but props to him and Brown for taking an actual players view into the matter. A bloke who will miss at least another 12 months of his career (effectively 3 years) in an industry where you're lucky to make 10 has got to be shattering.

Thats the difference between someone who has been in NN's place (as a player) and a know it all Journo that lacks empathy. Everyone except MClure and BT(My dog is probably smarter than him tbh) were on the same page. Sam McClure is lizard person.

Imagine if no one knew what Nicnat looked like on crutches. What would we do??
Yep. And Im willing to bet prior to this the club said to these cameramen "give it a rest boys, hes had a rough day." The self-righteousness of Sam shows the type of person he is.

He's nothing if not predictable.

Nic Nat is overrated, but also a superstar of the comp in that upper echelon of half a dozen players.
Despite being overrated, we can't win without him. Except for that time we did. Right in front of him (Right in front of hiiiiim!).

At least he has the stones to say 'no' we can't win it this year now. I predict a Wallsy-eque premiership favourites column in the coming weeks.

Loved how Browny gave it to weasel McClure with both barrels and then refused to take his comments back when tosser demanded he do so. Props to Darcy on how he told him that he didn't understand how it felt to be a player in Nic's position.

The truth is the club had an agreement with the camos that they would walk Nic out and the media could get shots. They then shuffled Nic out a side door so the camos came around to get their pre-arranged shots.
