Nohing wrong with it at all.

For those that didnt hear it, he went in to this weird story about how Matt Thomas and Chad Cornes used to run around Adelaide shirtless and said something like "Gee I bet that would have created some interest".

"Past my house in Glenelg in their speedos" were his exact words.

Staggering.

Whatever happened to the commentator just calling the surname of the player.
Do we have to have Stevie J, Jakey (Melksham, Carlisle, King etc), Big Boy, Buddy, Roughy?

And apparently Norths Leigh Adams changed his name at the end of last year to Patch Adams.

I rate McAvaney as a caller. The thing I hate lately, despite the homo stuff, is that he fails to call the game in any detail at all. His commentary is just 70% extended excited drawls of the players names...

Deledioooooooooo, to Kiiiiiiiiing, to Rieeeeeeeewoldt, hand passes to Griiiiiiiiiiiig, short little kick to Astburrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry, turn oooooooooover".

Drives me *in insane.

I don't know if it's always been the case, but I've noticed lately that Bruce has been calling the game like it's on radio. Play by play desciptions are not that necessary on television.

I used to think until recently when I read a couple of posts on here that he was genuinely ignorant to some of the things he said.

This is the thing with Bruce. He puts it on. He's not gay, just likes speaking like a gay man and doesn't care what people think.

He's one twisted ####.
