Ch 7 Commentary - is it intervention time?

[western royboy]

BT a complete fool…the umpire is being proactive telling Maynard not to block which is excellent man management (and at the end of the day a significant part of the game is man management) and the twit is saying he has no right to say that - turn up any week to a well umpired game and you’ll get plenty of instructions

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

"Well done Cameron" - JB

Not very neutral tonight are they?

 

[Mentallo]

Sidewinding on the run ball…

 

[burge13]

"Gets it on the boot for a high ball"

Gets spoilt

"Now its a low ball"

Such wordsmiths in the box

 

[1989]

Richo's obsession with intercept marks continues. It's all he has.

 

[burge13]

"On the eve of 3 quarter time" says BT

Wot

 

[burge13]

WOBBLY FLOATY BALL

 

[Dogs Rule]

If this commentary team was a horse, you would be putting the green screen up. It's done.

Makes your ears bleed and your brain ache.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

BT called Kreuger "Frampton" 3 times then without realising he was wrong.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Come back Bruce.

Would've thought accuracy was fairly important in commentary but guess not as long as you can sound like a demented foghorn, come up with player nicknames like The Horny One and conduct awkward post match player interviews.

 

[Del208273]

BT and JB continue to feed off each other's mediocrity.

 

[tazaa]

BT: “This will be deliberate.”
“It has to be deliberate out of bounds.”

Ump: “Throw it in” (as there was not one but 2 Collingwood players in the area ffs)

 

[MisterB]

For all the criticism of these clowns, at least we can all now be thankful to know that that Gryan Miers

[Peacock]

What's the deal with BT always in the third quarter saying "geez I reckon there's 69/70k here tonight", when it's pretty obvious he's got the crowd figure in front of him. Is this to try and add some type of credibility to him like he's some type of crowd whisperer or something? Why not just state it as fact?

 

[1989]

'Intercept marks', 'intercept marks', 'intercept marks' - give it a ******* rest Richo.

 

[windyhill]

Daisy Thomas, surprisingly good ! Hallelujah, we have a half reasonable one !

 

[Consolaçao]

I honestly don't get the hate for Russell, I think he's fine and much better than any members of the car crash club on 7.

Yeah, i’m with you there. To me, he’s ok.
BT is just putrid though. The play-by-play commentary is bad enough, but Roaming Brian? What kind of halfwit enjoys that trash?

 

[JohnZ]

Daisy Thomas, surprisingly good ! Hallelujah, we have a half reasonable one !

Helps that he did an apprenticeship on MMM doing the B slots like 4.40pm. Was able to develop outside the limelight and not get thrown into the deep end from day 0.

 

[Chicken Parma]

Nicholson and Bennett teamed up for PBP last night, the second time they've done so this season (after the Freo-Dogs game in Round 7)

Add in Daisy to the mix, and it was quite possibly the best commentary for a Seven game so far this year.

watching the demons vs dockers game and ****wits crapping on about Alex Pierce's protective arm sleeve and it needing to be skin toned or he'd face a fine.

has been wearing a white arm sleeve for weeks now.

Hour later they pipe up again to clarify that it can be skin toned or match the team colours...which surprise, surprise it does.

Getting a niche and rarely required rule wrong, and then correcting it later, isn't a serious issue.

It was just pointless dribble. On what planet where the AFL going to do anything about Pearce’s charity themed arm guide in said charity game?

Right there, right there. That could be the motto for the 7 Commentary Team (at least Taylor, Brayshaw, Selwood and Watson...)

It's drivel and it's colour commentary.

I feel like you people want 'A kicks to B, which is near the 50.' we can see the ****ing play ffs on television, we don't need bland play-by-play.

I want someone who injects excitement and then someone who explains what's happening either side of the camera angles and tells us what we can't see.
