Breretons commentary made me want to skewer my ears.

He just crapped on about GWS. Queried whether Milera would be best 22 this year. Said we are one placed in the midfield and have no player capable of burst in there. Questioned every free kick we got even the obvious ones. Was an atrocious effort.

One of those ignoramuses also said Brad picked up an abdominal strain in the first JLT last year and never came back, for the rest of the year. :drunk:

Do we actually need commentators? Play Top Gun music instead. We all know what’s happening without it being dumbed down for us.

I had exactly the same thought about the kickouts. This was another area where we didn't look too good. There was not too much running clear and playing on, although Smith clearly wanted to on occasion. Part of the reason was that GWS had all their players down there as well, really clogging it up.

In fact, the 666 did very little in this match. Much of the time, all 36 players were in a quarter of the playing area! There was a lot of flooding.

I was a good test against a good team.
Relatively low score and shows that the 666 thing is probably not that big of a deal. They smashed us aerially in first 2 quarters but in the end we overpowered them.

6-6-6 wont have as much of an impact in low scoring games due to inaccuracy. Both teams had 22 and 25 scoring shots but were inaccurate. Had a few more goals gone through then even more goals would have followed, the AFL can’t kick the ball straight, the players need to play their part.

It’s a bit like when you sell your house the real estate agent has a massive picture of themselves out the front of your house, just an opportunity for self promotion. Then they make you pay for the sign. Hilarious

Questioning if Milera was best 22 in the first quarter, then we had "Milera has answered that question" in the last quarter.

Come on, anyone that just follow footy even a little bit would know Milera is starting 18 for us, a paid commentator certainly should.

Sorry if your post was being sarcastic not serious.
Yeah this annoyed me too.

Having said that I always like Dermies special comments. He just says what he thinks and you never know what's going to come out next, sure enough one in five comments are not on the money but the others are interesting enough.

Our teams certainly going to have a fair bit more pace about it this year.

Exciting times.
Watching the womans team and the quicker ball movement they have shown and then seeing a similar style in the men's team is promising in this regard.

It is good to win games in a grind. Even better to do it and be entertained.

Fox Footy used to have an option to mute the commentary and just play sound from the effects mics.

I guess that got too popular and the in air "talent" didnt like it.

You could also pick a ca.era angle. I quite often watched the games from the long and high view.

He’s one of the handful of VFL campaigners who still can’t see past the Vic teams. He can GAGF.

I’m always amazed at his uncanny ability to know exactly what a player is thinking.

Still pissed we sacked his best mate.

FFS this would have been perfect. The commentary was just garbage. Its been that way though since we got in 91.

Dermie has done some coaching at GWS. Still mentors their forwards.

He knows his stuff when he is interested.

He ain't interested in us. Only sees us when paid to talk at our games. It shows when he has our games.

He is a poor commentator. But pretty good on League Teams. Apart from our games lol.

Listening to Dermie, and one thing epitomised how much rubbish he talks.

He was talking about small forwards but instead of using the term small forward he referred to them as “sub-sized forward”....STOP READING THE THESAURUS BEFORE BED TIME!!!

Did you notice he makes s**t up to suit a certain narrative when he analyses play?

I've been thinking about this the last year. I watch a lot of replays where I know the results so I can usually get away with some music on or something. Only problem is it doesn't feel right. I thought maybe just the field mics on would be good? Hearing the crowd, whistles and umpires calls? We really don't need commentary.

Edit : Just saw Geoffa's post

Surely if you had enough money you'd pay Commetti to be your private commentator.

I think we, uh, need more submarine sized forwards.

I remember just before digital TV came in we were meant to be able to pick our camera angles for sport.
Why hasn't that happened? Surely it couldn't be too hard?
