Romping probably started Fisting instead of punching

Eddie McGuire umpiring the game from the commentary box.

 

[1989]

When on Channel 7 they bring out the groundbreaking Leigh Matthews ‘goals and minutes’ theory.

Like none of us watching at home know how long it might take to kick a goal.

BT "likes" this

 

[Vincent Hanna]

Darcy with his "the modern player" this and "the modern player" that - STFU already.

Darcy

Didn't need anything after this in your post tbf

 

[Rioli2Gunstall]

Luke Darcy and his ‘ohh look at this’ and ‘ohh look at him go’ crap. We’re watching it on tv, your job is to call the game.

He is ******* useless, listening to him on radio i have no idea what is going on.

As thick as pigshit that guy.

When commentators say 'tonight' during a day game. It's weird.

To be fair - that one started the minute Telstra Dome opened.

Player x is the barometer for team y.

Do they actually know what a barometer is?

The fapping over young players. Almost have to put the Bulldogs-Swans game on mute with the wankfest over Ugle-Hagan.

Imagine if Fevola was in the box.

Calling the ball “the Sherrin”. Brayshaw a serial offender.

Tigers v Lions game, player had a set shot and it went straight through, Brayshaw:

"That's a beautiful ball" - ffs jog on mate.

He says that for every kick now

 

[Interceptor]

Any commentator saying "floats it" for a kick.
It's not floating you idiots, the term should be kicks, boots or even moves it.

christ, what a dry soul you are. commentary would get very boring if you start eliminating every creative word for a kick and the callers repeatedly interchange "kicks it" and "boots it" over and over and over for two hours. sometimes kicks are shanked/mishit that they have no penetration and almost appear to float.

 

[the avoca drover]

What is it with Brayshaw and commentators of his ilk, that refer to mens hair as “feathers” or blokes as “good looking roosters”?
Outside of football commentary, l’ve never heard those terms used.

when a team kicks an early goal

THATS THE PERFECT START

To be fair, it is.

 

[FreddyTwoShoes]

Not sure if it bugs me or amuses me, but it's when, during a Bulldogs game, they show a certain moustachio'd medico on the bulldog's bench, there's a race between the commentators to blurt out "Doctor Gary Zimmerman, who has been at the Bulldogs for many years".

 

[Baird]

When the caller (looking at you brayshaw) tells us that player x is a good player when they get the ball.

is a really good player"

Yes mate...we know...

And also when the aforementioned "commentator" tells us to look at the player with the ball. We are looking mate...tell us what they're doing please

He’s a legend.

 

[Mr X]

Happened to catch BT the other day saying that players changing boots was the professional thing to do.....hard to miss as he said it about 10 times in 90 seconds.

Early onset dementia?

He uses professional a bit.....guess it is not out of context as such, but if they did not do the things they do they will only be professional so long......most of the time it is the blindingly obvious.
