Plea to channel 7: Refrain from focussing on celebrity fans this Saturday

[StillAtLarge]

Dear channel 7. Please don't have a camera trained on the likes of Lleyton Hewitt and Mick Molloy on Saturday. The coverage of the incredible 2010 draw was tainted by the constant footage of a pant-shitting Eric Bana & Michael Klim in the dying minutes so don't repeat that mistake again.
It's bad enough that members of the competing clubs are allocated f*ck all tickets (combined 34,000) while the slimy corporates receive an obscene amount (17,000) so for the love of god- keep the cameras locked on the heart & soul supporters, not these so called 'celebrities' that also happen to be c7 employees.

I don't think they see it as a mistake, the brownlow is a good indication of the low form of media we will receive.

 

[Gydafud]

Don't show the crowd reactions at all please. The final siren of the 2009 Grand Final was focused on some lady in the crowd with a blank expression on her face. Show us the reactions post game.

 

[Plugger35]

Mick Molloy is going to be part of Ch7's pre-game coverage so it will be a bit hard for them to avoid him altogether.

Hopefully they fire him out of a cannon over the jolimont rail yards

2012 was also a shocker - they cut straight to the coaches box where you couldn't see s**t rather than focusing on the players celebrating.

For MND

What about those two goon Hawthorn blokes with the mo's that used to sit front row carrying on like cocksmokers they became the face of the club for an embarrassing period.

Focus on Molloy, Richo and KB if the tigers are getting pumped

Excellent plea, but one i fear that will go unanswered. I was wondering about Crow 'celebrities' until you mentioned "c'mon" LLeyton. Anyone else? How bout the tigers- I would like a shot or two of the 'focus on football' contingent.

I know this isn't the forum, but MCvaineys commentary is now deplorable.

 

[Red Bull]

What are the odds they mute the booing when albert cops his right whack from the crowd ...

 

[bungalow_bill]

Focus on Molloy, Richo and KB if the tigers are getting pumped

Yes that would be entertaining. Remember the shots of Eddie in 2002/2003, gold.

 

[Nick Daffy 10]

Also please refrain from focusing on players familys reaction everytime they touch the ball.

He seemed more upset at the end of the 2010 GF repeat (when the Pies won)

0:34 in the following clip

Can see it already.

"Tex kicks the goal.... and look at LLEYTON!! Ohh he's pumped look at him go! What do you thinks going through his head right now? The Aussie open champ must have felt some emotion out on the court, must be feeling like he's back out there" (play resumes) "And now we're crossing live to Lleyton. LLEYTON can you hear us!? What's it like out there?"

 

[TheKanga]

Focus on Molloy, Richo and KB if the tigers are getting pumped

Yes i want Molloy cam if this happens.
I don't mind Richo though as at least he isn't a bias flog.

 

[Mningasimisonda]

Hope they allocate a third of the screen to Dangerfield eating a pie

 

[TigerTime88]

Mick Molloy is going to be part of Ch7's pre-game coverage so it will be a bit hard for them to avoid him altogether.

The thing that annoys me the most is how quickly Molloy drops off after a bad loss.

After our Carlton and Port finals he was scathing on the club on the Monday. I'll never forget listening to it and thinking he wasn't a true supporter. I know he is as he goes every week yada yada, but I hate that he is built up as our mascot when he showed no loyalty in those moments.

 

[SCRAY72]

Out of interest apart from Lleyton who are Adelaide's celebrity fans?

Off the top of my head ...
Guy Sebastian
Paddy Mills
Adam Scott
Kate Ellis MP
Darren Lehmann

And Patrick Dangerfield secretly loves us

2014 probably the best, along with the commentary it gave me goosebumps even though it wasn't our team.

Paddy , Adam and Boof are out of the country so looks like Guy and Lleyton will be the focus.

He's a bit like David King is to us.
Only up an about when we are winning.

 

[Cmarsh]

For all the people that whinge on here about ch7 do they actually complain to ch7?

Might be more effective in sending a message.
