Congratulations to Tony Shaw, as he repeated ad nauseam today, he has finally "cracked the code" that Buddy prefers to kick from the non preferred side for a left footer. He carried on like he has just revealed some secret that would stun the whole footy world, not stating a fact that everyone has known since 2007. Then compared himself as a left foot kick to buddy at half time! Didn't know where Clinton Young has been, and continually confused players (Renouf and Skipper, Ellis and Murphy). The guy is a absolute hack!

Did anyone hear him try and say Ben Cunnington's sirname on radio a few weeks ago?

He somehow managed to pronounce it *******ham not once but twice.

Hilarious.

LOLl, it was pathetic. I couldn't believe how he was banging on about it. Also about the left footers at Hawthorn. "Extra!, Extra!..."

The code thwarted Tony for so long because it was written in English.
Haha yes, the blokes an absolute idiot.

Did anyone notice the story thats been told a number of times about his experience of seeing Burgoyne have 16 clearences in one match at AAMI stadium a few years ago, i think i've heard it about 15 times this season.

Anyway guys. I've got to get back to the election coverage. Great stuff. Fairdinkum.

The worst bit was that he was so genuine as well, he was clearly stunned that Buddy preferred that side to kick to goal, and a lightbulb must have clicked in his head and he just had to tell all the viewers his discovery again and again, he must never have heard anyone state this obvious fact before!

He miscalled Skipper and Renouf all day, it was like if he saw a tall hawk he would just yell out one of their names! The final straw was when he talked about Youngy, saying "I don't know where he has been" and then guessed that "he must be injured", surely if you are being PAID to commentate at least on the plane ride over he could read up a little bit on both sides! He must be the worst commentator going round at the moment.

Yes 373, but that was a vicious sneak attack from his blind-side. :eek:

Most commentators are one-eyed, and battle to overcome this afflication. I think Shaw does a remarkable job for someone who lacks even that view.

Kelli Underwood is a caller and has a split second to think about what she's saying. Tony Shaw is 'special comments' and has a lot more time under his belt.

Tony Shaw is an absolute numbskull! He is fairdinkum hopeless...one of the worst in the business...even when he's on AFL Teams. I don't think he realises how much of an idiot he is!

Spot on re the buddy comments, its like he come up with this new brilliant idea.

The cunnington thing was very funny.

the are not many good commentators any more its sad,

Tim Lane has lost the plot, Dwayne Russell just talks crap and repeats himself, both Darcy and Lloyd are the most inarticulate commentators they can barely say a sentence without stuttering, Huddo thinks he is the reincarnate of Jerry Seinfeld and is the un-funniest person out there, Lynch and Jako are too biased,

See what you guys have started now,

I don't think Dwayne Russell is that bad - actually don't mind him - and you gotta love BT and Bung.

The one you don't mention is Robert "Wallsey" Walls - listen to him call a Geelong game and I swear he is masturbating in the background
