It's a genuine indictment that I struggle to think of a decent commentator. Even if they are not biased for a team, they are biased for a state. If a Vic team is involved, Ling is just putrid. I'm not sure there is a Dwayne Russel/ Bruce Mcavaney equivalent that actively barracks the other way. I just want to hear some karnt call the ******* game. Unsurprisingly, the best commentators are the ones that don't engage in any fluff, just call what they see. Ricciuto and Dunstall (calling non Hawthorn) games are just about the only commentators I can actually stand listening to. I have also liked what I have heard from Pavlich so far. Just about every other commentator is not just bad, but downright awful. I don't know what it is about them, the cricket commentators seem to be able to have a good time and actually analyse the game without being complete morons.
Has over compensated in a big way. If you were new to the game you would think he hates Geelong

I thought he had played for hawthorn with the way he used to froth over them
He does still, it's like he loves all those guys from the era he played in. Took commentators a long time to stop saying things like 'you can't write off a side like hawthorn'. Actually have they stopped?

Makes me laugh all the American sport comments he makes, last week was Curry to Durant talking and Danger and Selwood, this week was some comment about the End zone.
Seriously stop trying to be some hip sporting expert, Lingy you have one sport to be an expert on and you can't even do that right, STFU most people wouldn't even know what your on about you disgusting gargoyle.

Where's dean Solomon when you need him
His commentary is great.
My point is he's an AFL legend. No one brings up how Leigh Matthews is a backseat fascist and is wrong 9/10 times thesedays. Lingy should receive the same respect.
Anybody else think he's pretty decent? And that we are way to critical of what we want commentators to be?
I think a lot of people look at commentators from years gone by with Rose coloured glasses on and are way too critical of the current team. They then carry on about how "commentators are so much better in the US" and that everybody in America loves them. Well let me tell you, Chris Collinsworth and Al Michaels (NBC's SNF pairing) get just as much criticism as Australia's commentators, they aren't perfect either.

Last night "Sometimes you never know what players are up to 48 hours before a game"
When do you ever know what players are up to 48 hours before a game?

It's painful enough listening him for 1 night... 2 nights in a row, channel 7 must be trying to kill the ratings!
Wish Carey would just hip & shoulder Ling out of the commentary box.

I agree.
The commentary teams should be pooled, and each game have one former player/coach and one "personality" with total bias ONLY. That would be fun.
Adelaide: Mark Riccuito and Graham Cornes
Brisbane: Leigh Matthews and Jonathon Brown
Carlton: Andy Maher and Robert Walls
Collingwood: Mick Malthouse and Eddie McGuire
Essendon: Tim Watson and Mark Robinson
Fremantle: Dennis Commetti and.....
Geelong: Tom Harley and Cameron Ling
Hawthorn: Jason Dunstall and Dermott Brereton
Melbourne: Garry Lyon and ...
North Melbourne: James Brayshaw and David King
Port Adelaide: Warren Tredrea and Dwayne Russell
Richmond: Brian Taylor and Matthew Richardson
St Kilda: Danny Frawley and ... Paul Roos
Sydney: Gerard Healy and
West Coast: Matthew Pavlich and Basil Zempilas
Western Bulldogs: Luke Darcy and Doug Hawkins
GC and GWS need not apply - yet.

Wouldn't that be an entertaining duo
That one was deliberate.
