Roast Commentators

[BeinPurplenGreen]

I particularly enjoyed the consistent references in tonight's Fox coverage to us being a side "just outside the 8" up against "a top six side" in the Bulldogs.

Clearly, that AFL ladder that I read in the paper at the end of round 4 that had Freo in 4th and Dogs outside the 8 was just a figment of my imagination...

Oh, and Danny Frawley you ****ing tool, it is Crichton, Jesse, not Hinkley, Clayton. arseh*le.

 

[bfff]

Was Danny Frawley giving anyone else the shits today?

His commentary seemed to consist of either barracking for the Dogs or barking orders to them when they had the ball as if he was out there with them.

This must be how eastern staters felt when they used to listen to Jako commentate eagles games (not that I've got anything against Jako - I'm actually starting to warm to the big lug).

Frawley is terrible. Not only is he thick but he is about as exciting as a dead sloth.

The constant referrals to kicking the ball over "the umpires hat"...

Losing his voice halfway through the match (should have been a blessing but the rasping was just as annoying).

Then at the the end the reference to Nick Lower coming from North Melbourne...he came from Port you idiot...Ed Barlow plays for North...Seriously poor from Spud.

 

[The Night Shift]

Danny Frawley.
Unremarkable player at Saints
Fail coach at Richmond.
Fail commentator at Fox Footy
Fail presenter in After the Bounce.

People should at least have some media training before working in the medium.

The commentary last night was abysmal.

I mentioned it in the game day thread. I reckon during the last five minutes he thought he was actually coaching the Bulldogs!

And yes Jako is definitely a WA boy. I am actually disappointed he has been relegated to boundary rider. We used to see if we could catch out Jakos made up words!

 

[esquilax]

Bring back Drew Banfield.

 

[PurpleGreenRed]

Bring back Drew Banfield.

Steady...let's not go too far..

Still the comment about one of the Bulldogs players being "on heat" instead of on fire made me giggle.

I hope they bring back Jako when we play Essington!

 

[Belnakor]

they need to bring King Carey back, so what if he had a minor drugs problem. Dermott has had a ******** problem his whole career.

 

[IAMJUNGLEMUFFIN]

I didn't have a problem with it tbh, saying that, I never have a problem with any of the commentary when we play, but hey, maybe I'm in the minority.

Much the same with umpiring: People don't often notice when the decisions roll their way.

Heh yeah, I remember hearing that. I did the full double take the second I heard it. I wtflol'd.

 

[Forey Johnson]

Commentry was at an all time low today. Absoulutely shocking display. Freo get to 50 points up and Wayne Shwass is still "Port are still in the, they can sense something". Were barricking hard for port all day

 

[Clay Davis]

I hope Schwass and Ricciuto never commentate together.

I think it was Schwass who suggested we could move up to 6th if both Sydney and Hawthorn lose this round. They're playing each other Wayne.

 

[Geoff]

With Foxtel getting an increase in games next year I hope they do something with their production? It's F**king bland as. As much as I think Walls is plonker and Bruce gets on my nerves both 7 and 10 don't have a bad production and when put up against Foxtel they are first rate.

 

[more_of_bito]

I've had a couple of beers so might be wrong but the vic fox commentary were listing the injured players for Freo... "Barlow,Hayden, Silvagni, WATERS ??!! and of course Morabito". seriously did they win a prize off the back of a Weetbix packet to get that gig?

Agree heartily. The worst commentary I have heard. They might as well mike up the monkeys.

 

[Alfonz]

Just finished watching a replay. The amount of things Schwass gets completely wrong is staggering. The guy is a moron. Broughton gets a free, and a 50, which they replay 10 times, and he calls him Ibbotson when he kicks the goal. Just one example of many.

And he's taken BT's "chiseling ball" to a new level that is painful to listen to. Driving ball, chipping ball, drilling ball, etc.

 

[Pusswah]

There were more 'casual strolls' taken at AAMI stadium yesterday than there were on the Swan River.

 

[Leslie_Chow]

Jacko at Half Time: Its starting to drizzle down here, so expect rain for the rest of the game..

 

[MadMac]

It's not commentators but I found it amusing last night watching fox sports news reporting "Richmond had the biggest win by beating Essendon" and then another reporter saying "Richmond took the biggest scalp in 2011"

 

[Nickos66]

I heard a lot of commentary mention the passing of the ball off as: "He squirts one out to suchnsuch"

 

[The Night Shift]

Might play a drinking game next time BT calls one of our games. A shot whisky ever time he calls "WoW WeeEE!"

Did anyone see the sunday footy show? Somebody asked the question "Is Fyfe as good as everyone says?" to which Bill replied " He will be good. He's just got to learn to use the ball a lot better". This was all based on him not getting over 100 supercoach points that day when in actual fact he did get over 100 supercoach points. Frustrating.

You are never going to get serious analysis when billy is doing the reporting. He's to busy wanking over pictures of Stevie J.
