Dermott Brereton's commentary

[DivideandMultiply]

Good call. I really rate Vossy. He impressed me on Open Mike, as well.

Voss is like Lynch, a poor grasp of the English language and sounds like a bit of a meat head, but actually understands the mechanics of the game and his current general football knowledge is good.

A bit like Barkley in the NBA, minus the sense of humor and fine edge technical knowledge.

 

[DivideandMultiply]

I quite like Derm. He understands the game, and knows what he is talking about. He doesn't just talk in clichés.

You trollin son.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Ok......

Go watch some of the old night series games and call them meaningless.

People think that the last 10 years or so are what the pre-season/night series has always been like. Very wrong.

 

[muzzington]

Brereton just finished a point he was making in the Fremantle/Melbourne game.

 

[Admiral Byng]

You trollin son.

meh - report my post to the mods. Don't start a shit-fight.

Commentators today are very bland and boring. (With the exception of Huddo) Missed the old commentators when they went off their nuts when someone took a screamer or kicked an awesome goal!

Don't try that card now mate the answer you gave was not run of the mill at all. You clearly think that Dermott is a very intelligent man because he's played AFL footy and won 5 grand finals. How can you say it's not your point at all when you've echoed it in basically every post?

If instead of talking about the footy here you'd rather go listen to Dermie talk then why have you posted numerous times trying to defend the crap you've sprayed in this thread that's been shot down by everyone?

Anyway, let us know what Dermie thinks about peoples' views here next time you sit down for a $6 decaf cafe latte with him.

Shot down by everyone? Last time I checked you where the only one getting worked up about it. All your doing is putting words in to my mouth and deliberately misinterpreting me, mainly to try and start an argument.

Not once did I say Dermie was ONLY intelligent because he's played in 5 flags. I've known people that have played in flags that aren't all that bright. My opinion is that Dermie is an insightful commentator and that he's record as a player helps his case, like any player turned commentator.

And it was a run of the mill answer. Perhaps if you didn't ask a smartass question to begin with, maybe I wouldn't have given you an answer like that.

Anyways, lets move on. I'm not a big keyboard warrior myself. If you want to keep going with this, perhaps you should attempt it over a $6 decaf latte with me?

Pisstake surely.

Recently claimed Hams was a player we had been cultivating to fill a midfield role and has previously stated Kennedy was in AA form despite missing most of the season with injury.

He doesn't watch or follow the league and it shows.

Each to their own on whether they like Dermie, but like it or not, you can't ignore the fact that he's sort after in the media.

its obviously that ppl are deluded... so he tries to pick out 1 per centers and the way the game is played, hes boring cos hes trying to teach viewers at home what is going on.. but can b energatic about the game (just giggles when Rioli is near the ball), and if u think hes bias, when what is eddie?

all the noobs who knows nothing about footy is telling us that dermie, one of the best CHF in the hawks history does not know the game... seriously you bag him, but can u do what he does? do u even know 1/100th of what he knows? its obvious the ppl on here arnt to bright if u know what i mean.. so they prob got no idea what dermie is saying and therefore hes a bad commentator.. u pick on stuff that u dont understand... basically every single person in here who thinks dermie doesn't know the game or gives comments that make no sense, so obviously most of u are a bit simple minded, telling the truth here.. unless an AFL player posts here, but yeh Dermie would know even more than him.. hes almost double the age of a player in AFL probably..

I dont get you ppl telling or i dunno trolling , if it was trolling then i understand, yeh telling ppl hes a bad commentator cos he tries to give an insight thats happening in the game and u think its boring cos you have no idea what he is saying yeh? you tease what you dont know.. prob most hawk fans too.. how are little kids and teenagers supposed to know how to pick up the game early in their life and they listen to dermie, and he could give some good advice to improve your game or when u coach.. i bet you ppl all here is blah blah blah how to fix that problem blah blah, lose your attention in 10 seconds cos u have to think when hes giving his comments that its boring and stuff, when its absolutely true what he says, but yer i know u ppl dont understand footy as much as dermie, so ill let it slide..yeh just dont say he doenst know what hes talking about etc etc when u have no idea yourself...im thinking theres prob only a few VFL ppl that comment in here would know wtf dermie is saying..

yeh finishing, is he a good commentor? better than u.. chico and yeh also Dermis isnt my fav commentator either hehe

Don't call hundreds of people dumb if you can't even spell a single word correctly.

Also it doesn't matter if he's the smartest man alive, we don't ask for an explanation of every little play, and even if we did(or he knew what he was talking about), we don't want it explained over the course of a minute and a half. I swear when he starts talking he will go on until a goal is scored and the lead commentator says "Sorry to stop you there Derm".

They're not sorry... they never will be...

eheh what a tuff guy.. hes gonna set a time and day and not even show up... if somehow Dermie was there, as soon as this guy sees him, hell break Bolts record, unless your fat, then u can try roll down the hill before Dermie can getcha..

also it s0uond like u dont grasp the AFL game? if i was to guess.. u would know about 1/1000th of what dermie knows regarding footy.. pretty harsh to say hes no good just, just cos your dumb, u cant call ppl who are smart at a particle thing dumb as well.. doesnt work like that.. basically your dumb at footy, i gaurantee.. thats if your can run more than 10 secs.. homer simpson style.

ur lost mate.. u prob think that the best player in your club is the best right now unstopable and stuff, whoever your best player is.. nowhere near dermie tho.. mentally and physically... i cant comment about u cos i never met ya.. but yeh im guessing your abit of an armchair coach or whatever..thats if u fit enuff to walk there without losing your breath..

yeh like if he had a footy iq of 100., your footy iq would b say 5-10.. and yeh just cos he says stuff you dont understand, u cant blame some ppl to think hes not that good becos they dont understand what dermie is saying,.. but yeh i know..other veteran supporters know.. but somehow it goes over ur head? with a 5 iq in footy i guess you barely have a clue.. go play AFL then or b a commentator and see how u go? you wouldnt get a kick in afl, and u would b the worst commentator in the whole world, soccer nba nfl rudgy afl etc etc..u would have absolutely no clue.. ull get lost both on field and on special comments.. what, ull say, umm good kick um good goal, um can this guy kick long or which leg does he kick on? ummm centre bounce starts! thats it for 10-20 mins after u say the bounce starts.. then silence, wouldnt b able to see who was on the ground (apart from the stand outs that plp notice str8 away). ah im just being silly, ill stop now.. u cant argue with teenagers i guess, silly comments and lack of knowledge of the game will just keep arguing in circles cos u dont know what footy is about, u only c the kicks for goal an and go from there,, or u look at the stat sheet after.. if ppl get over 35 possies, then thats pretty good. and thats all u know... mark handball kick.. guess over the rest..

What is 'footy iq'? The games tactics change so constantly that no matter how well you understood the game at one point, it's going to be a completely different game in 4-5 years time. The only thing that stays the same is the basics (how to kick, how to handball, marking/kicking for goal, etc.) and those are the types of things that you don't need to play in 30 premierships to know.

Footy iq is another stupid term created by the media to fill space during a broadcast.

What the hell did I just read?

i dunno, who u ever want it to be.. dont ask me i got no idea...

I wasn't being a smartass. I literally had no idea what you were talking about. That's why I was asking.

 

[Pegasaur]

seriosuly ive had enuff, i dunno whether its me being asian, cos we all used to.. and u guys are forum typers.. so maybe im not spelling it right is not a good idea i guess.. however long u posted on this site, ive had the net twice as long as u and almoost everyone else, chatting i mean.. forums mirc icq
or wotever.. but ill stop now..i guess aussies try type it so carefully so they can sound like they are smart.. or i dunno..an english major or teacher? i guess i cant even type net slang in this aussie forum.. otherwise i will get slammed by aussies for not typing it like its an essay.. im done..

Thank you for your replies to me. I liked to read what you guys have said. (not really)
Peace out. <--see that? i used a . to finish a sentence...genius right? like ppl like u hehe..

i think we are just diff eras i guess.. i had the internet when it was modem style, and i started chatting on the net with my friends in 1999-2000.. so yeh its ingrained in my dna to type like this... plus im stoned cos even if i tried it wouldnt work. im just typing really really fast right now so i dont forget what i said and fix my grammar..

Did you really just post 6 paragraphs over 2 posts telling me that you're better than me? You also brought up my team in a negative light for no reason...

I think someone jumped on the Hawks bandwagon 5 years ago, jumped off, found their old bigfooty account and is now trying to get banned for fun.

Nice.

footy iq prob means how smart u are footy wise? Abett Hodge Mitchell Rioli would have high Iq's.. Nic Nat not so much.. majak daw even less.. its just a word to tell ppl that this guy is smarter than this guy, its just a slang type centremetere perfect or whatever... they dont take it exactly 1 cm when he says it..

dood, i watch modern footy way more than i did back then.. i was really young and i used to check the nwespaper to see how much Dunstall or Lockett kicked goals in their match..

if u got a good footy brain, then u can do anything no matter how hard they change the rules.. ull still be a gun.. and also Coaches are the highest footy IQ out of everyone in afl..

Nice.

i typed it to tell u that players coaches and commentators know more about the game then u? sure u might know more than me.. no problems.. but u are not smarter than anyone in the AFL when it comes to footy games etc etc


i used to go for Dunstall.. every week i would check the newspaper to see how well we played... so yer i noticed Dunstall play about half his career or so when i started paying attention to footy...obviously hes my fav player.. and loved to read the news paper. goals, Dunsall 9 Lockett 8 Ablett 9 etc etc.. ive been on this forum for a few years.. i rarely post because i know what you would say if i posted it.. so i try avoid the conflict.. 1 time i post something and everyone jumps on my back.. but yeh i expected that.. i cant win.. its like aruging against 400 ppl in here or something, so i know im the minority and how you ppl would judge my msg.. but yeh i only typed it cos i was stoned and didnt know what was going on.. i like to ask ppl what they think of a player or something.. or anything really.. but yeh i type a few paragraphs and i usually delete it b4 i post it because i dont think youll understand.. Hawks fans for sure.. but if u dont go for hawks than youll understand what i said if i ever decide to post in hawks forums...

and yeh i read this forum every now and then.. so im not trying to get banned.. why would i want to get myself banned when i read the hawks forums when i got nothing else to do.. ok sorry if im a bit rude.. but bandwagon/? ive gone for Hawks since i was under 10 dood.. near the end of the Dunstall Lockett era.. maybe middle of their careers? i cant remember i was under 10 hehe
