Only good thing is when BT tries to whip out a smart Alec comment or pay out to Richo, love how Richo shuts him downGuy is now a total flog and it's not just him it's the entire Channel 7 commentary.
It's disgusting the way they call games by 1) stating the bloody obvious e.g like "wow did you see that" or "I think the Dockers need a goal right now! Don't you?" 2) over enthusiasm e.g "jeez what a cleaver little kick by poppy" or "Cyril jeez how good was that" every time he touches the ball and 3) the worst most unprofessional thing they do is how they announce players nick names instead of there actual names. e.g hodgy, roughy, poopy, buddy, dusty, Joshy, Goodesy the list goes on and on.. So bloody irritating not only does it make them look like a joke but the game as well, imagine people from overseas watching? They'll think what the bloody hell is this crap!
You'll never hear commentary like that in say the EPL or American sports.
It's this stupid idea that the directors at seven think the commentary needs to be entertainment first, sports broadcastering second, it's that reality television mentality. What they fail to understand is the game is suppose to be the entertainment not the commentary.
It's a f@cking boys club over at channel 7 and I'm bloody sick of it!
I found a new game to make the GF more interesting. I answered every time he asked a question. Rioli he's good isn't he? Yes Bruce. How good are the Hawks? Very good Bruce. You just knew he would do something special there didn't you? Yes Bruce. Etc. I recommend it.
I've been doing that for a long time, too.
Only difference is I try to comment before Bruce does: "...oh, isn't he marvellous?", I ask, every time Hodge is near the ball. Bruce then says something about how good Hodge is.
"Here's Cyril!" then Bruce says something weird about Rioli.
When Hodge belted Swallow, I asked, "Nothing to see there, Bruce?". Bruce actually said nothing about that one!
Pre-emptive commentary!
See what Bruce is doing for lounge room comedy?
Oh, did anyone pick up the moment when Hodge got sat on his ****? Bruce called it a good block/shepherd!
Exactly.It's no different to the Geelong era, or when Channel 7 fawn over Rafa, Federer, Djokovic in the tennis.

Was the correct call by the ump. Would have been the most dreadful decision to pay a 50m penalty for the ball slipping out of someone's hand as he tries to throw the ball back. In the end about 3 seconds was wasted, Wellingham acknowledged his error and the game went on as it should have.What about in the 2010 Draw? Towards the end with Goddards hanger, Collingwood kicked it out on the full and Sharrod Wellingham had it, threw it back but threw it straight up in the air, looked at Razor Ray put his hand up, went screaming over the mark and caught it then threw it back. Not once was this ever brought up anywhere, should've been 2 50m Penalties at the time. I encourage everyone to try and find the footage and look for yourself. Oh and let's not forget at the start of the 2009 GF Chrome Dome Ablett being chicken winged and then just placing the ball on the ground, Razor Ray again.
Do you actually know the rules of the game or what?Was the correct call by the ump.

Just another thread full of buttthurt whining babies spilling their salty tears all over the pages of Big Footy.
Commentators love winners. You'd expect them to gush over a triple premiership team. It makes more sense than them gooing over the Essendon or Collingwood stars. At least it has some basis in reality.
For those thinking Bruce was openly barracking for Hawthorn, get a copy of the game, and watch the first 20 minutes of the third quarter. The entire commentary team, Bruce included, were so excited about the thought West Coast may be getting into the game and were willing them to keep going.
Face it people. The Hawks were good, the commentators called it as they saw it, and because you didn't want the Hawks to win, you've decided to whine about it like immature little brats.
I would honestly rather listen to Dwayne Russell and Brian Taylor.
Network 7 need to tap Bruce on the shoulder and tell him his time is up. Doesnt even try to disguise his clear bias for Hawthorn.
You can hear the commentary desk rise whenever Cyril does something clever.

If i could like this a million times, i would. Glad someone pays attention to detail in here. GetDimmaBack, the commmentators on the hawks roos game where hodge got swallow were the usual saturday night clowns in BT and Darce.Bruce probably said nothing because he doesn't commentate Saturday night games. Nice try though.
