Dwayne ' shit commentator ' Russell - PART 2 in 3d

[austinnn]

I just found this board, and thread. I'm sure you E already been through this but,

Have you noticed how Dwayne Russell repeats a few of his tried and trusted lines quite a lot?

I heard him say "great to have your company" THREE times during the same match a fortnight ago.

and that voice! Like a bloody foghorn. Out of all the commentators she could have chosen to emulate, why on earth did Kelli Underwood choose HIM?

He Zigged When He Should Have Zagged is another he leans on quite a bit the campaigner needs to get creative

That really gives me the shits.

“Scooped that up like a responsible dog owner”

**** off Dwayne you turd.

“Scooped that up like a responsible dog owner”

* off Dwayne you turd.

My sentiments exactly. While he's not the dumbest caller going round (Hamish McTavish and BT in a tie for that one), he does come across as the one most full of himself.

****ed if I know how anyone could think of themself as anything more than an average caller if they spewed out the constant drivel that der-wayne inflicts on us.

“There’s a couple of Powells out there that aren’t pals.”

Speechless.

 

[Pistol Night]

**** sake, why cant some one approach a contest and "pull out" like Dwaynes Dad should of done

 

[Hammer#8]

Bad play by play commentator, not every single thing that happens on the field needs to be mentioned with overtop excitement.

Ainsworth taking a chest mark in the pocket is not 'amazing' Dwayne.

He's been doing it for years. It's probably my main complaint with him.

Just call the game without the hard sell you ****ing idiot.

He's trying to lay off the full-fat Coke and Sprite but it hasn't had an effect yet

 

[SuperMal]

He shalt henceforth be known, from Mountain Apex to Swirling Tidewater, as Sir Der-Wayne the Goose ,or ..........#67 on the local chinese menu, with extra sauce

Sir der-wayne the Goose.

Has the unmistakable ring of truth about it.

It's been done to death in this thread.

But nothing shits me more than Dwayne's "half held" bullshit

Says it EVERY ****ING YEAR like he's come up with one of the greatest catchphrases ever.

Something about it and the way he's been doing it for a decade makes me want to do terrible things.

As long as those on the receiving end of the terrible things are AFL commentators, then I'm perfectly happy with that.

We've been on the receiving end of their terrible commentary for long enough.

Just a reminder that Dwayne has called football on tv for 22 years and still has called 0 finals.

Right out of the playbook of Derwayne's Greatest Hits, including:

From the paint
Off the shoe
Shake and bake
That's as good as it gets
Chaos Ball
Cream dripping off it

It's bemusing because he is not a bad play by play commentator, he keeps up with what is going on and isn't like BT where he consistently gets players names wrong. But the hyperbolic statements, feigning excitement at strange times and corny, overused catchphrases along with his general wacky behaviour distract from whatever match he's calling.

 

[Mentallo]

You have called the wrong player half a dozen times in the first qtr of Bombers v Cats.
Ya got one job and you are god awful at it!!!

Really trying to get something going with this "Obnoxious Weed" nickname for Sam Weiderman.

Something obnoxious about it, that's for sure

I’ve heard of noxious weeds but that’s a new one. I guess Dwayne has his own language
