Roast Getting fed up with the commentating

[Lockyer24]

People who have complaints about commentating have valid points, but there are alternatives.

1. Just focus on the game
2. Mute
3. Get Kayo/Foxtel, get AFL app, sync your commentary to what ever radio station you prefer

Cornes' AA team? - who gives a f^^k? Who remembers anything to do with AA? - bit of kudos for a while for the players - excuse for the AFL to have another excruciatingly boring function hosted by a rubber mouth wan^er.
Do the AA teams have reunions in 5, 10 ,20 years time? Bet the ans is NO. Flags matter, it's flags that are remembered and treasured - premiership players have reunions
So let Cornes rabbit on about HIS? AA team - irrelevant, boring and everything else one normally associates with Adelaide

You sure know how to rant for someone who doesn't care about it.

Dunstall is arguably the worst of the lot. Every game he focuses on our opposition and groans when they mess up play, and he jumps out of his seat to question frees that go our way - look no further than Howe’s yesterday compared to the reaction they gave for Fogarty’s dive just before HT.

Round 23 last year when we needed to beat Freo to make top 4 he was flat out cheering against us for the entire game.

To be fair to the Chief, he did talk about Sidebottom massively around just how hard he works when he watches him off the ball....especially in that game yesterday.

I remember fondly back in the 70’s, ABC commentator Peter Booth. One eyed Collingwood man. Calling a game at Victoria Park against Essendon. He said something along the line of “McKenna fighting for the ball in the forward pocket, surrounded by 3 Essendon players, for God sake someone get in there and give him a hand”
He was an excellent commentator albeit a slight bias towards the pies.

Not worse then the Biased against us with the Knobs Calling Now

I can't imagine him having a high level of wit.

He had a high level of "what?"

Genuinely didn't understand humour. I made a paedophilia joke - it was ****ing brilliant - and he was VISIBLY offended like I had just told him that I support Hitler.

Yeah some don't like the paedo jokes though dude.

Years ago there was a Footy caller on the ABC (can't think of his name) who only called the actual play, for instance he would say it like: "Pendlebury in the middle, handballs to Treloar on the edge of the square, who short passes to Mihocek on the 50 who will take a set shot at goal"
No theatrics, no screaming, no weird names for footballers. He was so good to listen to

Almost certainly Doug Heywood, who's only blemish was forgivable - "Robert Flower you are beautiful"

Never watch on the couch for the interstate bias. Pretty much a non Victorian show these days with Roos, Cement head Brown and Fox footy interstate **** Healy.

The thing with that BIG - and it's huuuuge compared with ours - market place is that there is a big margin of error.

IMO the market-size excuse is always way overstated (not just with footy ...)

What needs to also be considered is that the US is far far more diverse ...

... the US also has more sports, and more leagues within each sport, and more teams within each league. So whilst the US population is 13 times the size of ours, the team supporter base, or league supporter base, or sport supporter base would be far less than 13 times the size of ours.

Also what is forgotten by so many Australian executives is that . .

What works for a couple of hundred million often doesn't for 20 mil.

Or the culture differences too.

 

[Hekt]

Cometti had a soft spot for the Dogs. Never would have known it though.

Remember him talking on MMM this year about being drafted to Footscray - but never played a senior game. (so would figure some bias)

His heart was always with WA teams + Dogs, but never let it influence his calls. Was head and shoulders above the rest in recent memory.

Heywood.
Agree, he was good.

That's him
Thank you

 

[Pie eyed]

As a lover of this game like all of us are I would like to watch a game where the commentators do exactly that...commentate.
The bias against our club by commentators is getting really tiresome. It's unprofessional.
Can the AFL please set some standards so that I can watch my team play without having to listen to commentators blatantly support the opposition.
I want to hear the game being called. I don't want to feel like I am sitting in the middle of the opposition cheer squad.

Anthony Hudson is pus.
Biased, uneducated, never played and is shit and just plain crap.

 

[Baltimore Jack]

My least favourite is Dermy. Not saying he is anti-Collingwood, more that he’s incomprehensible. I’ve no idea what he’s on about.

But he has interesting hair. Puts a lot of time into it. Doesn’t help his commentary but at least makes for interesting viewing. Which way will he go this week? Left part, right part, or pushed back from his forehead?

Neither does Dermie

He just says words and leaves it to us to figure out what he means

Seriously who gives a sh1t if someone has played the game or not?! It’s the precise problem with our sporting culture - if you haven’t played, you have no idea. It has paved the way for all these former players to have armchair rides into the media and, as a result, bring down the overall standard of broadcasting. Huddo is comfortably in the best few play by play commentators

 

[GreekLunatic]

Clinton grybas was the best the worse is Gary Lyon and pencil neck geek huddo

The level for that is not very high

 

[Collingwould]

So instead of this continuing as a flat out whingefest, is there some sort of worthy official complaint system via ACMA or whatever? Otherwise, we put up or shut up........

Anyway, for the record, when I watch the games, the mute button is my best friend

He’s scum, doesn’t even pretend to be hide his hatred

Hudson not much better

That was his first name, his surname was Jablomi.
