The downfall of Fox Footy.

[1989]

One of the frustrating things is that we seem to see hardly anything of some of the best Fox Footy performers, or they're utilised in a very poor manner, while others seem to be on every show.

First Crack is a great show mainly because of the format and the hard-hitting approach they take, but also because it has people on it that are not overexposed. It's about the only program on Fox Footy that feels fresh.

Not bad but they need to run to the screen like Kenny THE JET! Smith

Who plays the Shaq or Chuck role?

 

[Billy ray]

In the final days of his coaching career, it was clear that the Collingwood players had stopped listening to Nathan Buckley. Five minutes of his commentary and I can see why.

 

[Elixuh]

They don't even have their commentators at the grounds lol.

 

[hawkman]

They don't even have their commentators at the grounds lol.

Would rather ads with coverage from the ground compared to no ads with people commentating off a screen

 

[peternorth]

They don't even have their commentators at the grounds lol.

Im gonna guess for super saturdays games the commentators will be:

Howard
Lyon
Brown
Reiwoldt
Buckley
Host: Kath

 

[Falconista]

They don't even have their commentators at the grounds lol.

Essentially they want the identical deal to what Fox League have with the NRL.

 

[offtherails9]

Lol why are they so keen to add something literally nobody asked for?
Their commentators are so so s**t, 7s aren't much chop themselves, but they are so much better than Fox's.
Any network that pays Dwayne Russell to commentate can GAGF as far as I'm concerned.

7s broadcast is much more clean and professional in every aspect. I can't stand watching Fox and them talking in the studio up until right on the bounce, gives the game no real feel at all.

Yep 7s commentators far ahead and that's a low bar.

An option just for ground noise would be great.

 

[Wayne Dwop]

Banned: Robbo

That looks better

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

They don't even have their commentators at the grounds lol.

They're also going to ask to commentate whilst WFH...they feel it's no difference to now where they're just phoning it in from the studio.

 

[WAbulldog]

Be cool if we didn’t see the same cast every time.

 

[YouBeauty]

Not sure if on the couch or Friday night footy. We are missing Sara or Kath to ask these guys a bunch of random questions to fill time.

 

[windyhill]

Fletch at The Caxton. Look and learn best on ground.

 

[The King!]

An option just for ground noise would be great.

Thinking that today when we had Dermie and King droning on, Montagna calling the game, yuck

 

[Magma]

the part during the crows game today at half time where they had weitering mic'd up against gws could be the most pointless thing ever. half of it was him on the bench.

"Great access there".

 

[janty]

On the Couch hasn't been good for years. Surface level analysis coupled with focus on the same bullshit teams every week e.g. Essendon and Carlton.

Robert Walls taking about giving a key forward “a run in the ruck for 5 to 10 minutes” is even more insightful than what we get these days.

 

[Section226]

Considering what has been said this week regarding 'that' camp concerning the Adelaide FC, I hope FoxFooty is thoughtful about who they have as sideline commentator for Saturday's Port v Richmond match.

The apology from the club is one thing.

The alleged comment hoping the player gets over it is not.

 

[enzso]

An option just for ground noise would be great.

You can do it at home yourself with Fox or Ch7. Use a 3.1 or 5.1 speaker setup and unplug or turn down the centre speaker. Takes out the commentary and leaves just crowd.

Make Matty a farmer. Gold.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Remember when Fox actually gave a s***?

 

[peternorth]

Pre game lyon, brown, nick R and buckley.

each time theres credit placed upon cwood and the coaches, they always give praise to buckley too.


pre game also, lyon asks them what they expect early. nick R says quick movement and ball to ground so as to avoid intercepts from may and lever.

nek minnut it doesnt happen. they owe us an apology
