Roast Dwayne Russell is a flog

[holy diver]

Very.Poor.Commentator. Creates a narrative for the game and repeats it ad-nauseam which is based on his personal speculation rather than calling the actual game in front of him - which leads to irrelevant hypotheticals that generates periods of uncomfortable silence within the commentary box. Dwayne was trying his best to cheer on Port but still attempting to sound objectively neutral. He was just as bad last week mentioning the ladder percentage in the game against the Lions. Very unprofessional. The icing on the cake was Mark Ricciutto having a cry that port lost as well.

Russell is making a late charge for the Basil Zempilas worst AFL broadcaster award 2014.

How many times did he say that history says you can't win from 5th spot? Absolute flog!

 

[Allikat]

Did you know we were playing for 4th spot? I certainly didn't until the 100th time he mentioned it.

 

[Outshined]

Did we start a "CHAOS BALL!111!" counter?

Agreed, really bad. Called us for 'should have been htb' clearly not, then 5 seconds later did the same to your guys. Neither were even worthy of htb. one of the worst going around

He is giving Zempilas a run for his money. Darcy isn't far behind.

Dunno so much...Effin Riccuito kept banging on about the 6 day to 8 day break! Then said Ballantyne was playing poorly. Ballantyne then kicked 4! EAD Roos!

Riccicuto certainly had a bug up his arse. He is supposed to be special comments, not special ed.

 

[calaisking]

I don't mind him to be honest but commentators don't really get to me as much as it does for other people. E.g I love BT's commentary, reckon is hilarious

Dwayne loves Freo, he's definitely hopped onto the purple bandwagon as of last year

"They've woken the bear" had me ready to kick the TV over.

The only thing that would have made that commentary worse is if we had Sniffleconk commentating instead of Brereton. Luckily he was at the Carlton game.

I actually like Brereton. He seems very pro Freo!

I respectfully disagree regarding Russell. He creates abstract concepts and rolls with it.

BT is great value. I get a laugh. He's a bit old school.
He even got away with his "****ter" remark earlier in the year.

 

[electricfeel]

Last week he couldn't stop banging on about how important percentage is as well. He is a broken record. Likes to repeat one thing throughout an entire match. I can't help but laugh at his stupid remarks though such as "THAT COULD BE THE FIRESTARTER" and "CHAOS BALL" and "OH BABY" and "THATS CRAZY GOOD". Almost on BT levels.

Roo was trying his best not to be seen as wanting Port to lose. He'd get beaten up in the media over here if he did any different.

 

[Borry]

If you think there's a worse anchor commentator out there give me a call.

Seriously.

Seriously.

BT

I didn't hear many chaos balls. He seemed to be going with "roller" as in thats a roller inside 50.
I don't actually mind him, Bruce is the one I can't stand these days, have to turn him off.

 

[Grape Bear]

Basil Schnozzola wins that award by a country mile.

 

[freo84]

They all gave me a massive migraine to listen to...... But that whiney, high pitched voice, window licker complaining about Ballaz can eat a bag....It was awesome how Ballaz came out and kicked those 4 awesome goals and shut him up!

 

[imperial_oz]

Bignose Basil!

 

[electricfeel]

Basil is still the worst by a country mile. Can we please have Huddo for once??

 

[Clive Diablo]

The 7 Saturday nigh crew is without peer. had to turn over and watch the Melbourne North game as BTand his two morons were brown nosing Ling over Geelong, fawning over ever thing geelong did. It was nauseating. Luke Darcy is the biggest flog in existence, ever. I would prefer to spend 1 week with Basil than have to put up with Darcy for 10 minutes.

Lol, roo is terrible, his only coments were ........................hoh hoh hoh!

 

[Bulldocker]

Yes, DUHwayne Russell is easily the worst. And if Fox were to take any notice at all of these "who's the worst commentator" threads, he would be out on his arse before the finals even begin. Have to say that once again BT was a major fail again tonight too. He called several entire play phases using the wrong names of players one after the other (particularly Brissy players) and just continues to derail when he has NFI who a player is. Most overpaid clown on TV.

No need to go that far. Darcy is the biggest flog on Australian TV, as bad as Derwayne and Schozil are.
