Ch 7 Commentary - is it intervention time?

[sosos]

During the Carlton v Suns game, BT was absolutely beside himself that Mosquito was selected on World Mosquito Day. Was like the greatest thing ever.

I refuse to listen back to find the exact quote, but that may have been the moment he said in that high pitched, faux excitement voice "BOY OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY!"

Did I mention this was DURING a game played by two teams who Mosquito DOES NOT PLAY FOR!

Even Bruce didn't know what to say. He kind of snickered, embarrassed for you.

BT, you utter peanut, just call the freaking game!

It was great when they cut to the boundary riders having icy poles (it's warmer in the NT than the southern states, who knew?) while play was going on.

Abbey knew what she was doing.

Listening to the Fox team is such a relief compared to Ch7. I know Dwayne, Eddie and Dermot have their critics, but during play, they speak solely about the game, players and tactics. Much easier to listen to.

Abbey "Hole-mms" said "on the contray" again last night, instead of "the contrary." She's *ing got somethn wrong with her. I can't believe no one's corrected her

Obviously not grown up with the game like you guys but even to me, the decline in Bruce's commentary is very noticeable. I particularly hate his questions all the time e.g. "He's a good kick, isn't he?" or "He could be anything, couldn't he?" and all of the comms off-tube are so desperate to nail it for a highlights grab on future broadcasts they start bigging up a kick for goal only for it to be off line. I'd much rather they commentated on what unfolds before them and let the special comments people do the analysis.

The only thing that sucks about supporting a good team is that you cop the channel 7 commentary as a "reward" more often.

Surely Bruce listens to himself and wonders if he should stop putting questions at the end of statements. He'd be better to listen to if he did that, wouldn't he?

Yeah I recon Huddo, Dunstall and Riewoldt are the best FOX match-day combo

 

[SammyRoo]

Wheh I was a kid, my old man used to watch the footy on mute because he couldn’t stand the commentary. Not having any TV sound used to drive me nuts as kid

Now I find I’m doing the same bloody thing and watching on mute !? hahah

Thankfully I haven’t experienced this that often

 

[Mentallo]

Bwuce somehow managed to bring up horse racing & Cyril during the call tonight.

100% this. The ultimate TV commentary combination.

Surprised Dunstall doesn’t get more love - his analysis is excellent when he’s not doing his “Bounce persona”

 

[sobrave]

BT has been trying to bully old brucey on air. You won't get away with that one me ol China, Bruce is the cockroach that never goes away, he owns channel 7.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Bruce is unbearable now. He’s almost doing a parody of himself. It’s painful to listen to, even when your team wins or is winning.

He used to say stupid **** but was actually a decent commentator, now it’s just weird.

 

[kozi]

BT legitimately called Stewart Corey Enright last night..

 

[JohnZ]

A bit like the late 90s, Ch7 needs to lose the AFL for 5 years, and to have a clean flush of talent so that a new crop can come up and replace this rabble.

 

[Alesana]

When Bruce made the comment "That's a hat-trick in more ways than one" and called it his "best work of the night", your best work should be calling the ******* play, not coming up with ******* metaphors and jargon

I’m biased but last night he called the Dogs v Cats ‘even’ when the Dogs were three goals up and was riding the Cats like Makybe Diva even when the Dogs were five goals up ‘they’re comingggggg’ in that stupid, hypo raised voice he does. He’s a pain in the arse these days.

I’m loving Luke Hodge more and more...put BT in his place ...

Seven star told to shut it in icy exchange

Footy legend Luke Hodge told Channel 7 footy commentator Brian Taylor to “be quiet” in a frosty post-match exchange following Geelong’s win over the Western Bulldogs.

[Triniboy]

Bruce is the best sports caller in the world.

Bruce the goose loves the sound of his own voice.
He expels pure unadulterated drivel.

 

[Mentallo]

Bwuce gets his horse racing reference in early in the 2nd qtr today.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

“I am liking Cox...Hame“ ...you’re sick Bruce

 

[Private Hudson]

Bruce is plain and simply ******* intolerable these days. Isn’t he ?

I legit don’t even know what he’s crapping on about today.

IT’S NEWNES NOT NOOOOONZ YOU *******S!!!!!
