I was very interested to hear how The Duck went with his commentary on Sunday night. Apart from earlier being a little nervous, I think he commented well. He could have elaborated a little but as a first up effort, pretty good. He was positive towards the Crows and will be a nice addition to the Fox commentary team.
 
When i was talking to Wayne a month a go he was looking forward to doing this speical comments with Fox. Listening to him i would have to agree with you he needed to elaborate a tad more. Didn't say negative things about Port either...which was good. Overall wasn't baised, but he wasn't over the top either. So far he is better than Eddie ;)

Can't remember who was the boundry-rider but its nice to hear comments from an ex-footballer than Tiffany Cherry/Cristy Malhouse. ;)
 
he made a shocking call early on about some crow dude not being able to make the distance 50m out & matt campbell then let him know it too.

the king was pretty smooth - i reckon he'll end up being a good caller, but i reckon he wants to sit on the other side of the screen though - he looks like he's got a stiff neck or something - actually, he does doesnt he?

It was Skipworth from about 48 Metres out and I would have taken money that he would not have made the distance as well.


At least he has some football credibility unlike some other the others with the “old man syndrome” Kevin Bartlett, he skits me

Skipworth made the shot because he had a breeze at his back. He can't kick 50 meters in normal circumstances.

He wasn't the only one. I got ******** all night from my mate after saying Skippy wouldn't make the distance. He didn't have the balls to have a ping from 40 out last week in the Northwood trial and hits one from 50 this week?!
 
Its funny WC was nervous and it showed in patches but he had a go. I am sure he is waiting for the ''informed media'' to jump on him so he is very careful as to what he says. I thought it was ok. I personally would have liked a bit more backroom knowledge but he is now on Carltons payroll. All up not too bad but I wont miss him if he goes.

No doubt last year taht was true

Didn't think the breeze was that strong and the kick made it easily.

I am hoping that he has improved his kicking penetration rather than it jsut being the breeze. Didn't really get another kick that I can remember to compare it with. :D

Wayne was pretty good I thought. Talked up Perrie a bit much though.

same here mate!

what gets me is that Skippy kicks a goal from 50metres yet for most of the night I thought too many of our blokes had the ball around the 50m line yet did not kick for goal but mainly chipped it into the forward area

i understand that they are trying to get a game plan of kicking to the edge of the square but i just think they should be capable of kicking a goal from the 50 m line especially when they're running on their own
