If you follow a team that has been performing badly &/or is a poorly run club, then there's a fair chance you won't like him because he takes a run up before he lets fly at those teams & I love it. He did the same with his own team Carlton when it was shambles under Malthouse.
He watches the game without concerning himself over statistics too much. His trained eye can see when a player is slacking off right then & there without the need of running over the stat sheet or looking at replays from 10 minutes earlier before making a comment on something he feels is happening in a game.
Dustin Martin's game a few weeks earlier is a classic example of this where Maclure didn't rate his high possession game because most of those were just give & receive back type of possies that had no impact on the game. There is still a place for old fashioned commentary.
I like him!
