Biased/incompetent media coverage

[kane249]

FMD... seriously, no one who isnt hell bent on this anti-WA conspiracy would think anything of Healy's slip up. That's all it was. He is by far the most knowledgeable non-WA media personality when it comes to the WA teams.

I have three kids. Have had them for over 21 years. The number of times I go through the other names before I get to the one i want.

Haha, me too! Especially when you're trying to yell at one of them, and you get the names wrong. Usually the dog's name gets thrown in there too!!

How often do you see the commentators call someone from a Vic team by the wrong name though? I dont recall seeing it and i watch a lot of footy.

Healy is just generally absent minded.

Well to be fair he is a boxer and gets punched in the head a lot, probably named his kids George so it was less to remember.

For the record 6 of his kids are named:
George Jr
George III
George IV
George V
George VI
Georgetta

Has another 6 more as well

Yup

Maybe some quick revision is required before an Eagles or dockers game

Hey I better sharpen up a bit on the players names

The Chris Lewis holding the 2006 premiership culture was the last straw for me ....like heck n hell

I can forgive a name mix up during a live broadcast (print is another matter). It's the **** ups of how the Eagles, or players within the Eagles, have been playing that I hate. Like on the weekend saying Gaff was great last week against Collingwood. No he wasn't. I barely thought he was okay, but he did have over 30 possessions, so you can tell that they just looked at the stats from the previous game and made a call based on that. And that's just one example. It happens all the time (also in print).

I stand by my comment way back in this thread that if you are a professional commentator it should be part of your contract that you watch every game. All 9 of them. Then there is no excuse for not knowing what is happening.

my dog pee's in the house. i get yelled at and then mom/dad goes "sorry, i meant the dog".

I agree. That call of Gaff having a super game last week had me shaking my head...And i think it was Gerard on that occasion.

But yeah, seriously, slipping up on a name is nothing. Move on. Theres better/worse stuff to get worked up about.

AFL.com review of our upcoming game against GWS.

THE SIX POINTS

1. The Giants didn't trouble West Coast the last time these sides played, especially after quarter-time when the Eagles kicked 14 goals to one. Josh Kennedy and Josh Hill kicked 10 goals between them.


IT'S A BIG WEEK FOR… Phil Davis.
The GWS co-captain will have a massive job on Coleman Medal leader Josh Kennedy, who is fresh off a seven-goal haul in the Western Derby against Fremantle. The West Australian looms as the only real forward threat for the Giants, and Davis will be keen to bounce back after lowering his colours to Gold Cast star Tom Lynch last week.

We had two guys in the 100metre freestyle final just now, and we managed to win it with an amazing swim by a guy called Kyle Chalmers wins the gold, with Cam McEvoy coming 7th. 10 minutes after Kyle has won the gold, Basil is talking about another event and Basil says Cam McEvoy has already won gold today for Australia..

Add that to all the **** ups he's had this year in the footy makes me wonder how the **** this guy keeps his job?

No flat track bully or Ross the Boss reference this week, has to be a first for awhile?

Last year I started watching the games on mute, replacing the commentary with some LPs. I highly recommend it to all those disenfranchised by the commentary.

Is the urban legend true that the 2015 GF syncs up perfectly with Pink Floyd's Darkside of the Moon?
