Parrot Appreciation Thread

Ours can open! How do you feel about Sandy?

Dull, cliched, unimaginative. If he was a car he'd be a Toyota Crown. Really.

Bruce?
Dennis?
Tim Lane?

Bruce - pathetic case of Please Everyone Love Me Syndrome. Almost as bad as Dentons. Game has become more professional whilst he continues to believe it's important to know a players Primary School.
"I could be wrong but you just get the feeling Bruce has become a parody of himself."

Dennis - very good. Should stop reading about himself, his clever plays on words are becoming strained and contrived not to mention too frequent. Impartial to a T, he has the major attribute of having few enemies amongst viewers and listeners.

Tim - one of my favourites basically because of his sense of occasion. Compare his radio call of the 99 PF to Drew Morphets TV call. A pro against a wannabe amateur. A good Carlton man but does his best to keep it under wraps. Accurate and exciting but gets too caught up in silly statistics and scoreboard symmetries.

Wow, definitely unexpected.

Wow, definitely unexpected.

Great calling voice. Good sense of humour, unbiased and improving every week. Not a Grybas yet but like where he's heading. Underrated.

What I can't stand about Bruce's commentary is the absolutely unncecessary rhetorical questions at the end of each phrase: "Don't you think?" "Isn't he?" "Wouldn't it?" etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum!

FFS "commentary" comes from the word "comment" not "question"!

Also sometimes it sounds like he's just getting a little bit too excited talking about the athletic prowess of some players, gives me creeps along the lines I would get if I saw a dirty old man standing outside a schoolyard enjoying watching little kids playing a bit too much, I mean sure, he might just be a keen hopscotch enthusiast, but I just don't quite feel 100% comfortable with it...

Horrible, horrible flog is parrot

But since he's on your side I see why you don't mind it

Would Collingwood fans say the same thing about sunnyTEE? Do you guys find him to be the deadset flog like we do or do yous love him because he's a Collingwood guy? Parrot isn't even close to his material.

truthfully if parrot was a pies supporter i would love her, she is good value.

SunnyTEE was on this board last week as far as I can recall.
