Commentators- Cheering is Acceptable?

[Drummond]

Dwayne Russell, Danny Frawley, Liam Pickering...

DIGSRACEFUL. Blatent cheering.

 

[spexau]

The way they are going on about how hard they are running and how much faster than the Crows. So annoying barely even mention we don't have a bench....

 

[Wokko]

Welcome to our world. And NO it's not acceptable and makes the fans of the club that's not being cheered for feel like shit.

Yeah good on the demons, but I bet there a hell of a lot more Adelaide fans than Melbourne listening. We copped it last week.

 

[spexau]

At least you managed to win last week and didn't have 3 of your most important players taken out by injury Salt + Wound = Owies.

 

[FantasticShirt]

Absolutely pathetic commentating, LOOK AT THE RUN FROM THE DEES THERE RUN IN THE LAST QUARTER HAS BEEN AMAZING COMPARED TO THE CROWSSSSSSSS

Maybe because they have a ****en bench?

 

[juice]

Stop making excuses boys. Who cares about how the commentators call the game. We were shite today, didn't deserve to win. beaten by a more desperate side. commentators had nothing to do with it. focus on the footy and stop making us look like a pack of squealers.

 

[Sheeds]

Most the commentators do it in games that involve Melb and Richmond given how poor they have been in recent times. Does not make it right but will continue throughout the season.

 

[collingwood1992]

yep, they were cheering for Melbourne as well last week, Russell was having a cry when we won

 

[jackster83]

Russell sounded gleeful when Bock and Dangerfield got injured. It was a disgraceful, unprofessional display by the whole commentary box. Foxtel really hate us don't they?

 

[TDRP]

Maybe because they have a ****en bench?

Tippet, Bock, Hentschel, Dangerfield...

That's a pretty f*&^ing decent bench at that! Might have deserved the slightest mention in the context of the Dee's win. I mean really... if they still couldn't manage given that legs up... god help em.

 

[bus24]

Frawley......... "YEEEESSSS!!"

How Russell is allowed to call our games is mystifying.

 

[Gets!]

**** off you clown.

Fancy being a member since 04 and just seem to be coming out of the woodwork when the crows go pear shaped.

****wit.

 

[cmndstab]

I have never wanted to punch Frawley in the mouth so ****ing hard as I did today. And I've wanted to punch him in the mouth pretty bloody hard in the past.


Worse was their complete lack of attention paid to the criminal run we had with the umpiring in the second half. At one point they highlighted the free awful decisions in a minute, but seemed to ignore the fact that we were bent over a barrel for the entire second half.


I hate that team so much.

Totally agree it seems to be the 'norm' now that commentators tee off at whatever team they feel like. Glen Jackovich was a total disgrace when we played the Eagles last week and the spineless losers next to him were almost scared to not carry the tin.....

Commentating was shocking. But it happens all the time. Never heard Radio in Adelaide when the Crows are playing?

They don't broadcast to a national audience.

Yeah very good point. Still shocking though.

Love Liam Pickerings sign off. Melbourne win against a slightly injury depleted Adelaide. Wow loved to see injury ravaged then.

Seriously red card these ****wit trolls. They broadcast to an ADELAIDE audience, not a national one FFS.

 

[Grave Danger]

You can always listen to 5AA...

 

[WALL-e]

At least you didn't have to listen to the Melboure fans, all of whom have a one word vocabulary of 'baaaaaaalllllll'. Pack of winger all day and owen the frees....I don't get it.

Happy I won't have to listen to the shit commentary.

 

[lincsPJ]

jackovich is the worst excuse as a comentator in football history.

 

[Symesy15]

Frawley had a nephew playing for Melbourne which would excuse his cheering, but saying that, PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO COMMENTATE IF A FAMILY MEMBER IS PLAYING! Does Tim Watson commentate Essendon games?? Because that'd be a bloody disgrace! I know he commentated the Adelaide vs Essendon final, but we smashed them so he didn't have much to boast about.

 

[Klug]

Dwayne Russell, 10mins into 2nd term - "And Adelaide have Melbourne on the ropes!!!"

We were leading by 13 points at that stage.

The joy in his voice when the Crows missed about 4 consecutive frees in a row during the last quarter was evident.

Shaw, Russell, and Frawley clearly hate the Crows, but I just wish there was a way to watch TV and hear the crowd noise, but mute the commentators.

My all time favourite Foxtel barracking effort was when the Crows just lost to the Bulldogs in 2008 over Easter at Docklands during Brad Johnsons 300th.

Rohan Smith and Dwayne Russell were insufferable that day

 

[Primetime Pricey]

i feel for you blokes. It was the same last week but even Tony Shaw was barracking for Melbourne and even admitted it on Foxtel on Thursday night.

Dwayne Russell is fking useless and im over "its as good as it gets" or any other meaningless info that has nothing to do with the game.

 

[WALL-e]

If Dwayne Russell ever says "it's party time" again, I'll find him and make him eat his shirt.
