Ch 7 Commentary - is it intervention time?

[Elite Master]

Darcy calling a tight Bulldogs game...
Really need to implement a policy whereby they don’t call their team’s game to prevent any chance of bias...

Short kick to Naughtonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

No bias whatsoever...

 

[Mentallo]

Jesus I had never really paid much attention to Bartel as special comments person before but he would seriously put a glass eye to sleep.

To add to the issue, Darcy is the football director on the Bulldogs board.

 

[TheJanuaryMan]

Yeah, it’s as though the director needs to constantly whisper in Brayshaw’s ear ‘we’re not on MMM’.

He always seems two seconds away from screaming ‘GET AROUND HIMMMMM...’

With the next phrase being "Oh now CHIEF!!'

 

[TheJanuaryMan]

I realise he is on Fox and I actually quite enjoy his work but every time Dermott Brereton comments on the play, I envisage him leaning on a bar with a beer in his hand. Seems a good bloke but almost too laid back for the role at times.

 

[Agenda 21]

Honestly, Abbey Holmes sounds like someone scratching a chalk board.

 

[Mr X]

Channel 7s prom for this weekend pretty much sums it up for me.

On the screen I read a snazzy logo “Footy Fest”, old mate voiceover calls it a footy FEAST at least 3 times during the 30 second promo, with the FEST logo coming up again at the end.

I've said before that the station bosses don't care too much about what rusted-on footy fans like, because they know we'll keep watching no matter what. As a result, they just employ people they like, and those who they reckon might appeal to fringe/new viewers

yep, it's a monopoly and even with foxtel you still get the 7 feed so there's no way of showing that people would prefer something (slightly) different

Do you reckon he is still there on good bloke cred? He's Olarenshaw levels of bad for me.

Does Ch 7 Perth have no footy commentators? Did the Melbourne guys really have to call the game off the telly from 3000 km away?

Hamish or Basil is a tough choice.

 

[10Dulkar]

Need a petition to bring Cometti out of retirement if this is going to persist.

 

[Truckosaurus]

As I recall, he retired because the travel was getting too much for him being based in Perth. Seeing as 7 can't be bothered sending any commentators to Perth, maybe he could just do the West Coast-Freo home games and give us all a bit of relief.

 

[Gasometer]

I like Hodge and Richo and basically everything else is lemons

Dennis does the perth games for Triple M. Mute the TV and chuck on the radio. It's a blessing not a curse.

 

[Cuzz09]

Dennis isnt much better. 90s Ch7 was peak.

 

[Billy ray]

Does adam papalia live in perth?
Surely he just does perth games.
Brenton speed can do brisbane /gold coast games.

 

[PrinceCharles]

I watch mainly on mute these days and it makes you realise how little stats CH7 display on the screen. I feel like back in the day they would always show a player's stats when they were shooting for goal or at stoppages.

Someone else itt said it, but they don't care that nobody likes their commentators, they know we'll watch anyway.

Yep, they definitely did, and not just when someone was having a shot. If a player took their time having a kick after a mark or free kick, their name and stats would often pop onto the screen. I dunno why they stopped. I used to watch a lot of footy at pubs or restaurants, where I couldn't hear the commentary. There are heaps of players I don't know by sight, so it woulda been handy if their names were shown on the telly

‘even just a graphic for goals/behinds kicked by your forwards seems to have fallen by the wayside. It’s all about a player’s champion data/SuperCoach rankings now.

Darcy and Jobe not even in Sydney, just at Ch7 HQ. Ch7 taking this working from home a bit too far

Jobe thinks the umpires are interpretating the rules.
