Speedy on boundary riding duties tonight for GWS vs Hawks game. Is this a first for the great man?
What a waste - Should have been calling the game withOUT Anthony Hudson.
The problem is he's Sydney based and can't get to Victoria where the commentators are calling from.What a waste - Should have been calling the game with Anthony Hudson.

Channel 7 not Fox though.Bruce McAvaney is calling games from Adelaide.
Channel 7 not Fox though.
It's no different.
Seven had to go to a fair bit of effort and cost to make it work for Bruce. They wouldn't of done it for anyone else.
The networks are saving money not being onsite - Your argument doesn't wash.
It's not my argument, regardless of what you think of them if you can't see that Channel Seven would go out their way to include McAvaney in Friday night football given his standing at the station and health issues compared to Speed at Fox then it's not my problem.
It's normal to have commentators and production off site but that is usually based in one location not two.
Seriously - who does this guy think he is? Getting players names correct. Actually doing play by play. Not calling every bog standard goal 'AMAAZING'. Get him back to the VFL with Papalia.His call in the Suns vs Swans game was great, just an idle background voice without intrusion or annoyance.
Oh it was unbearable listening to Darcy commentate and finishing every sentence with “On Anzac Day”, why can’t this be the norm??Seriously - who does this guy think he is?

He called the crows v GWS game on Saturday. Reckon he was in Sydney, Ricciuto was on the boundary line at AO and the rest of the commentary team was in Melbourne. Was a very smooth transition between callers.
It struck me whilst he was calling how little hype and repeated BS stories during his section of the call compared to so many others.
I wasn't really surprised, it was more pleasantly surprised, I didn't have to listen to any crap during his call.We really shouldn’t be that surprised though. He’s a professional sports caller that chose this profession and has spent years perfecting his talent. The others are a bunch of ex footy bogans with no training looking to earn a pay packet after the gravy train stopped rolling when they retired.

Its the first game I've heard him call this year, and whilst it was no different to what I have heard him do in the past, same high end professional standards, after watching about 30 games with boorish commentators this year, it was really nice on my ears .... until I had to listen to Kellie Underwood on the other half of the call.
