Ch 7 Commentary - is it intervention time?

[burge13]

With FoxFooty being able to broadcast more games next year and his protector now gone from Ch7, I wouldn't be at all surprised if BT becomes the prodigal son.

Back to the Future - BT on Fox in 2025.

heck

BT, Derwayne, Dermie, Kelli

mute buttons across the country will be bashed to smithereens

 

[Billy ray]

i know that from next year fox have their own commentary teams for home and away season and first 3 weeks of finals, but are they really also having the grand final with their own commentary? i always thought 7 were protective of the GF, no simulcast at all

It will be funny if BT's "emotional announcement" is just Darcy saying he's leaving.

 

[010203]

Darcy gone, will BT be the next one shown the door?

It'll be Bruce related.

 

[XhazzafootyX]

It'll be Bruce related.

That’s what I reckon… not long left to live ?

 

[Gizmo]

There's no way they would do a teaser for someone's death.

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Naming the premiership cup after Daniher

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Dale Thomas is over-estimating his value at 7
Needs to stop shooting his mouth off or will be gone inside 6 months

Plenty of skeletons in that closet that could easily get out

A retirement or maybe Bruce will make a permanent comeback to 7's AFL coverage as a host.

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Disagree with my post but you think the AFL would be announcing that a prominent AFL figure has a terminal illness

My god…

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

Could be what BT was eluding to

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Could be what BT was eluding to

Wouldn’t have thought that would effect the eaglea

 

[Billy ray]

BT will announce that Raygun will be performing after the game on some cardboard in centre circle

 

[Cory]

Could be what BT was eluding to

These scum journos have no idea about timing

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Shocking timing by Cleary with this

Real bad areas
Especially when it’s nothing concrete

 

[Hawks1523]

I’m hoping it’s BT retiring. One of the worst to do it.

Damian Barrett stating very confidently on The Sounding Board today that Nick Riewoldt will join Hutchy, Caro and Kane on a Monday night show on Seven next year.

So Footy Classified, but Ch7 (Lloyd and Riewoldt would serve the exact same purpose)

The new show is called De-Classified Footy.

I don't mind Roo but Lloyd >> Roo.

Oh ok - admittedly I don’t listen to SEN.

That’ll be interesting.

He isn’t a dummy by any stretch - it’ll be interesting to see how he balances his ‘w***er with an opinion’ persona alongside work in the commentary box which is most definitely pretty soft touch on 7 - nobody is going to be pointing out that BT is talking utter shit again or that Joel Selwood’s brain should have been donated to science when he retired.

I don't think Cornes is a w***er with an opinion. I think he's one of the only genuine football commentators who sparks debate on topics the boring media usually gloss over. If a great player is playing rubbish he'll call it out rather than fawn over them like the other puppets

I think he serves a purpose within the media landscape for sure - but Cornes has specifically cultivated a persona in the media of being ‘that bloke you hate who says shit things about your team’ - that’s how he gets his clicks - he’s a smart operator who wants his name to be synonymous with controversial hot takes.

Interestingly listening to him on The Howie Games podcast he reflected how he doesn't make any additional money from clicks. You're right his brand and approach gets him lots of opportunities because love him or hate him people want to listen. It's nice having a point of difference in the media landscape. So much better than listening to the likes of Watson and Lyon on SEN talking about wine (and themselves ad nauseum - they literally have a weekly quiz about themselves) or duds like Lewis, Dixon, Mooney, Brown and so forth on Fox. He's not 'one of the boys' which makes him genuinely interesting. Such a unique character. Reminds me of a young KB

All good points.

He may not make money from clicks himself, but his employers definitely will and that’s what will drive his contract up each time. His engagement rate would be through the roof for the likes of SEN. Very smart operator - he saw a clear opportunity in the market beyond ‘old boys’ (like Lyon and Watson as you mentioned), ‘good blokes’ (like Hodge, Selwood etc) and muckrakers and rumour mongers (McClure, Morris and the rest).
