Preview Round 22: Sydney Derby vs GWS @ Spotless

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Mystified by the selection of the Surname Cursed Robbo who has rarely looked at home in the 1s. COR should have been an In, ashe looks the part.

Both mobs are injury addled. Neither can afford any more. Kelly is a crucial out for them and we have one tall in defence.

Beyond Burdwan and the DeCameron, Shiels, the two Skips and Banners, this game will hinge on the kids. There is quality on both teams.

I think ours will have big games. Tommy Mac is gaining confidence, non-Zac Dawson already looks an auto selection and will kick 3 and have 20+ possies, Ronke, Hayburner, Paps and Good Golly will have big ones.

A2 will have a monster game as the tall backline.

George will be BOG.

Bloods to win by 15.

 

[Skeparovic]

4.35pm
Brenton Speed, Jonathan Brown, Paul Roos and Nick Dal Santo.

That's actually a pretty good commentary line up with those 4. Always liked Brenton Speed for just calling the game without all the theatrics.

I miss Huddo

Basil is good when he is not doing the Eagles or Dockers. He literally loses his sense of reality whenever he has to commentate their games fairly. But he's a great MC and caller

Do you mean Basil Brush because you can't be talking about Zempilas. He is an atrocious caller.

Really don’t get the Basil hate. Don’t think he’s the world’s greatest orator, but why is he supposedly so terrible?

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

GWS have a Bonar?

We should have hung on to Hiscox.

Boom boom boom boom

COR not even named as an emergency. Anyone know if he's been selected for the NEAFL, or out completely?

 

[mikey_san]

Last week he tagged Oliver and absolutely pantsed him for what it’s worth. He will still find plenty of the footy running around with Shiel.

Just don't hurt him. Will be key for us next year.

 

[Kirkswan]

On the one hand, I can’t see Robinson making a difference and if I’m honest, I’ve written him off. On the other, I cannot fault his selection after his 2s performance last week, so here’s hoping I’m wrong.

I don't need him to be the difference, I just want him to fill the gap and perform his role... that will be enough.

He lacks any sort of wit or personality. To me he's just such a bland commentator. His presentation also feels very staged and lacks a certain authenticity.

Although he's a complete boofhead, at least with commentators like BT what you see is what you get and he makes the call genuinely entertaining.

Basil's just a boring drip.

Yep nailed It, bland is the perfect adjective to describe him.

I'm glad you asked, allow me to explain

He tries too hard. Cringe worthy puns that are clearly premeditated.

Always calling the possession a player behind who actually has the ball, which shows a lack of ability/nous compared to other commentators.

Makes more errors than any other commentator, and has an uncanny ability call the wrong players name at key moments of a game.

Knows stuff all about footy, just a channel 7 all round media jockey.

"IT'S NOT DEMPSEY IT'S RYYDERRRR"

 

[Donza]

He's a professional commentator

He's called
A-League
NRL,
AFL

and I think he did some swimming ?

Without doubt he's without peer in Aus. (including basil)

Jason Bennet is better imo

Jeez two big games coming up. Nervous af.
