Opinion Should BT/Darcy be barred from commentating the Grand Final after their recent biased commentary?

Serious question. Should we allow this kind of biased commentary to continue or should we make an example of BT/Darcy now in the hopes of preventing it in the future?

 

[demondavey]

He should be banned from calling all Collingwood games. His lack of professionalism is pathetic.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Mods, please remove the last 8 words from the title and amend the poll to match?

 

[Colonial]

Yeah but the VFL media ain’t changing anytime soon.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Absolutely he should be.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

I think this should be fairly applied everywhere. Obviously not everyone is as bad as Bt and Darcy were on the weekend games but should include special comments + boundary line because some people are annoying in those roles too when their side is playing/barracking.

 

[OniAu]

I hate BT, blight on the game, i dont even see the biased , but understand oppo supporters view

The above are so gross to listen to, again , BT is a flog and shouldnt commentate at all. I love that dangerfield irritates him during the call

 

[InternetToughGuy]

Luke Darcy was 100 times worse.

 

[kickazz]

They're all shite. The Carlton circle jerk was worse.

These guys ruin it. Lucky I'll be pissed out of my brain watching the GF and won't remember how bad it is.

What flavour crusiers you drinking , im going guava

 

[Harrison Bergeron]

Should be barred from all games forever.

I actually had a guava sour beer today oddly enough.

Nah my go to on GF day is still beer, one long neck per quarter. Tradition.

 

[kickazz]

Imagine describing BT in the future.

"He was an annoying commentator that didn't really know the rules, and spent time after the game harrassing players in the change rooms"

 

[RUNVS]

Brian Taylor is an inspiration to many. He is proof you don't need talent, ability or a willingness to learn in order to succeed.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Replace him with Luke Darcy who was possibly worse than he was. I think Hodgey and Lethal should call, Lynchy on the boundary

 

[Harrison Bergeron]

Clinton Grybas becomes a bigger loss with each passing year.

 

[caveman72]

In this tech-savvy world we live in I'm all for each commentator to be hooked up to a device that sends an electric shock to them that increases each time viewers are unhappy with their call. If we can't have that then one that slowly reduces the volume on their Mic

 

[Messenger]

Should be barred because he’s shit at his job.

 

[Oscarman]

There's barracking from commentators in every game. Just ****ing call the action.

 

[MarcMaverick]

BT and Darce are the reason PXP commentators should always be non-players. Like Jason Bennett or Matt Hill.

 

[BF Tiger]

The AFL need to think if they want BT’s call to be the permanent record on the telecast. Just think how embarrassing it will be in 10, 20, 50 years time to hear this buffoon butchering the call.

Hudson should be the commentator for the Grand Final. He is the best caller by a country mile. Would never guess he was a Geelong fan in games and he always steps up, making the big moments iconic.

 

[Pistol Night]

I reckon promote Jobe to play by play caller and see what happens

 

[Pistol Night]

The fact Gerard Whateley is stuck commenting on SEN is a travesty

I remember that Final against your boys where his famous Nick Davis call was really pro.
