Damian Barrett has taken off the gloves for his latest edition of Sliding Doorswww.afl.com.au
Oscar Allen mentioned by Damo as the next star
I dislike Damien Barrett immensely, especially his weekly butchering of the sliding doors concept, butMods please ban this poster for putting Sliding Doors in the insightful media thread.
Same, apart form the self-promoting Robbo/Norf/Damo three way feud he is pushing...I dislike Damien Barrett immensely, especially his weekly butchering of the sliding doors concept, but
I found myself begrudgingly agreeing with most of his points this week

Caroline Wilson takes aim at "compromised" and "off-putting" AFL broadcasts
Caroline Wilson has taken aim at footy broadcasters scheduling club directors to commentate on their own teams.
The likes of Luke Darcy (Western Bulldogs), Mark Ricciuto (Adelaide) and Jimmy Bartel (GWS) have already been forced into the compromised situation, Darcy most notably during the Dogs’ win over West Coast in Round 2.
Wilson believes it frustrates viewers and puts the club staffers in difficult positions.
“There is just no excuse for TV networks and radio stations putting footy club directors behind the microphone to call their own footy teams, cost restrictions don’t cut it,” she told Footy Classified.
“Suggestions that the media is so cash-strapped or commentators so reliant on paying gigs that they have to rely on it is just
“This is nothing against Luke Darcy who called yesterday’s Western Bulldogs game, or Jimmy Bartel or Mark Ricciuto to name the current crop, but there is just no way their calls are not compromised when they’re so personally and sometimes professionally invested.
“Commentators like these calling their own footy clubs have to be acting even when their calls sound impartial. It’s off-putting for the audience, it compromises the callers and in the case of yesterday’s wonderful Bulldogs win, it was a case of poor scheduling by the Seven Network.
“It lacks integrity and it’s largely off-putting for the audience.”
Former Essendon captain Matthew Lloyd agreed with Wilson’s arrow.
“I reckon it’s unfair to Jimmy, Luke and the guys. Just don’t put them on those games,” Lloyd said.

I agree with this, except for the 2018 prelim half time show when we smashed Melbourne. Roos and Lyon looked like they'd just seen a car crash and Brerton could hardly hide his glee. Was amazing.Not usually a fan of Carro but she's on the money here. Commentary should be provided by neutral entities at all times. Nothing sucks the excitement out of a game more than listening to a deflated commentary team because their side is getting torched, and nothing is more infuriating than listening to biased barracking on the mic.
Another good edition of ask simmo. I’m liking these
That 2005 Nick Davis win against Geelong in the Semi must have killed Huddo inside, yet his call captured the excitement so well, that it still comes up 16 years later. A true professional and one of the best going around at the moment.Where does it start and finish though, directors, ex players, ex staff, supporters? Personally I think that the professionalism and standard of the commentators is more important than any club connection that they may have. Huddo has done some fantastic calls on what would have been heartbreaking Geelong losses and Dunstall is great in his special comments irrespective of whether Hawthorn is involved or not. Of course the networks don't really care about what we think, we're going to watch the footy anyway. If their commentators can provide an entertainment value to people who are indifferent as to whether they watch the footy is what they're interested in.
The Miracle on Grass in Brisbane springs to mind as well.That 2005 Nick Davis win against Geelong in the Semi must have killed Huddo inside, yet his call captured the excitement so well, that it still comes up 16 years later. A true professional and one of the best going around at the moment.

Probably anyone directly involved as a coach, administrator or director.
