Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Football Thread XV

[Albertross]

But for a late goal by Sheed to win them the GF in '18, the fortunes of Buckley and Simpson would be reversed. Talk about sliding doors.

Angling for Barrett’s job? You might want to be less on-point methinks…

 

[Maddogm]

Channel 7 reporting that Melbourne were stuck on the plane/airport in Brisbane for 4 hours and then flew back. Nothing about Perth

I suspect somewhere along the line someone got the fact they were originally flying from QLD to Perth for next weeks game confused into the story. Or just guessed, this is AFL "journalism" we're talking about.

 

[raskolnikov]

Norf supporters all year, "Bloody Essendon supporters getting ahead of themselves".

Also Norf supporters after losing to Geelong by only 20 points, "The future's so bright I gotta wear shades".

Happy we got that last win in against Clarkson in Tassie.

Can’t stand Kelli Underwood commentating, always sounds like she’s trying a bit too hard to fit in and sound like one of the guys.

Daisy Pearce is the same

It's strange cricket has some wonderful female commentators

Female you mean?

Extremely annoying nasally and tries to be one of the boys

I find BT, Hamish, Ling, Richo, Darcy, Basil far far more annoying

I was on the fence about her but she's actually grown on me a fair this year. Made a few calls about horse racing, punting and a few obscure references I've vibed with. I think she fits in well.

Daisy Pearce on the other hand.....sheeEeeEsh. I like BT, Carey but pretty much dislike the rest of the CH7 team....unless Jimmy Bartel is on there? Can't remember, but I like him.

She is not a self-indulgent flog like the rest of the has-beens. Maybe that is why she stands out.

 

[doug85]

I think Daisy is one of the most insightful special comments people in the sport.

 

[eth-dog]

I like Kelli. Daisy isn't great but she's not terrible either

“[insert player name after kicking a goal] if you don’t mind!!”

every. single. game.

 

[raskolnikov]

Queenslanders obviously too busy providing Australia with all our gold medalists to be concerned with AFL.

Ah, the Channel 7 playbook

Ah, the Channel 7 playbook

We should compile a bingo card for channel7isms

Just don't make it a drinking game

There is a list of commentators as long as my arm that i find more annoying than Daisy Pearce.

I mean is there such a thing as a good commentator nowadays

Agree with the first half.

Solidly disagree with the second. BT is a buffon.

He is, but that is a part of the charm. Has many quotables that I rattle off with friends. Not saying he is "objectively' good at the art of commentating - but I think he's entertaining.

 

[Blind Turn]

Clarko doing his best to deny Mitchell a number 1 draft pick.

Think we win one of the next two
