Consistent Decline of Dermie and Foxtel Coverage .

[ShadeyP]

Dermott Brereton is an embarrassment to himself with his relentless pontificating driveling dribble .

The fact that the Derminator has been Fox's number #1 man for so long just shows how much of a clueless boys club it is .

This whole walking around the studio deal is complete s**t as well , looks like work a poorly executed experience production .

Unbelievable how Fox Footy lower the standard year by year in many ways .

Hey mister...the Fourth Estate board is thataway

 

[Donakebab]

Your use of the word decline implies Dermie wasn't ground level garbage to begin with.

 

[Lolbert]

Said it before, kick out the lads in the boys club, stop hiring ex players and limit commentators to 2 in the box and 1 on the boundary. The whole thing is embarrassing

 

[Moshie The Mook]

I enjoy Dermott's observations.

Some of you need an aggressive 'personality and sense of humour' reset.

 

[SilentHunter_]

He does talk about things Dermott. Just not about the things that are relevant to his job.

 

[donkeypunchd]

To be fair he can only work with what he’s given, which isn’t much today.

 

[SBYM]

If you thought you could pull off leather pants and a full length fur coat at The Night Cat you'd probably talk a lot too.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Needs to learn to cut it short when making his points. He makes better observations than the others, but takes a painfully long time doing it

 

[Plat]

The lack of "6'4, 6'5 and about 15 or 16 stone on the old scale" forwards these days has left Derm with very little to talk about.

Haven’t seen it this year but I thought last year’s AFL Teams was quite good. Really good analysis of past games and team strategy.

If you want to talk about consistent decline and coverage on a remarkably bad level let’s talk Channel 7, that s**t is seriously bad.

 

[Bombermania]

Dermie is better than everyone on Channel 7s coverage, except maybe Leigh but even he suffers from being around such sods.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

I don't like the way his head moves when he talks.

 

[ThePutDownKing]

Dermie is a Buddhist guru for atheists.

 

[Franko Armani]

Go and listen to that alien Hudson then

 

[Cosmic Energy]

Aside from key position forwards and their tactics, body positioning etc I feel that Dermie has always had a poor grasp of the game and makes a lot of predictions that never come off. I always remember him writing off Dustin Martin at early age, saying he was as good as he was ever going to be in his first couple of years, as if being a powerful young player meant that you couldn’t get more physically powerful in the AFL system. Just a stinker of a call. Here it is:

Idk if he's been saying it on fox. I've noticed numerous times recently that he's made these subtle digs at Richmond's performances so far saying it's a weak comp.

On its own, yeah whatever who cares. But it comes off the back of him more than most in the past (including Hawthorn haters like me on the Bay) saying that Hawthorn's 3peat was due to the compromised draft. Essentially diminishing Hawthorn's success during 13-15 period as well.

Like a lot of these old farts, they'll go as far as they can to pump up their own period. I reckon there's more than enough evidence to question the strength of 80s footy.
