I imagine it would sound something like this...

Tim: “Hello, I’m Tim Webster. Welcome to Channel 10’s coverage of the 2002 AFL Grand Final.

“It’s a fine, sunny day in Melbourne and the SCG is packed to capacity for this clash between the Sydney Swans and the Brisbane Bears. Can the Swans win their first Premiership since 1996 when Plucka Lockett kicked that famous conversion after the hooter, or can Brisbane finally win the shield, 6 years after their controversial merger with Footscray? We will know the answer in about 4 hours time.

“The mighty Swannies flew into the semis on the back of 10 straight victories and last week defeated the Fremantle Doctors by 47 in the Major Preliminary Final. The Bears have had a much tougher road to the Grand Final; just scraping past Mark Malthouse’s Collingwood in the last round to make the semis, and then with narrow victories over Norths, Wests and Ports to make it through to The Big One today.

“We can now cross to the Sydney dressing sheds where Sandra Sully has Swans coach, Robbie Eades…”

Sandra: “Thanks, Tim. Robbie, a big day for you and the boys?”
Eade: “Yes, Sandra, it’s a very important day for the club and hopefully all our plans will come to fruition…Oh, and it’s Rodney, by the way.”
Sandra: “My apologies, Ronnie...So, can you actually divulge any of these plans to our channel 10 viewers? For instance, will you be staying in Melbourne tonight, or heading back to Sydney for the after-match party?”
Eade: “Sorry Sandra, that’s not really at the forefront of my mind right now…”
Sandra: “Will you at least be getting into the spirit of the occasion by cracking open the bubbly in the coaches’ box?”
Eade: “Look, I’m sorry, Sandra. Can we stop this interview here?”
Sandra: “Back to you, Tim…”

Tim: “Thanks, Sandra, for that in-depth interview. We can now cross to Timmy Bailey, who has managed to get hold of Brisbane coach Len Matthews in front of the Bears coaches box - Timmy…”

Bailey: “Thanks, Tim. Well here I am in the hi-falutin MCC Members stand with Brisb…hey…what’s going on…let go…mmmffffghhhh”
MCC Redcoat: “ Sorry Sir, you can’t come in here wearing those psychedelically coloured board shorts and that Mambo t-shirt with the farting dog. I’m afraid you’ll have to leave.”

Tim: “Looks like some technical difficulties down there…I’ll take this opportunity to remind you that today’s Noel Smith Medal will be presented by former Souths legend, Bobby Skelton.

“OK, my director is telling me it’s time for the kickoff, so we can cross to our match commentators, Danny Mielicki and Barry Sheene. Take it away, guys…”

Danny: “Light’s on…Siren…RACING!”

Very good Roger.
Though i'd like to corect you on a couple of things if i may.

It's actually Tom Wobstar of 'Sparts Tanoit'

Anyway, i'm really looking forward to witnessing how my Essendon Magpies are going to fare in this season's pennant.
Hopefully Matthew Lord can become the leading point scorer in the competition for the first time and newly appointed captain James Hurst can win back to back Brownlock Medals.

'Back to you Roger'.

where's wally?

According to Tim the reason the Tigers did so bad against the Hawks last SUnday week was because we were missign our star forward Matthew Nicholson...

It was Bill Woods who said Nicholson instead of Richardson.The night before he said Hamill was out for a month instead of the player that collided with Hamill.

Webster and Woods are both shockers.

JubJub,

How is it that you're always able to correct me on TV matters?
I so rarely watch TV - except for football of course - So am prone to the odd factual error.


Nonetheless, you are always there setting me right. I think you watch too much telly!

Sports Tonight made another mistake, this time it was Bill Woods. He said that a boxing match would be taking place in "Sydney's Star Casino".

Of course the proper title he should have stated was "Sydney's Star CITY Casino".

.

I happened to watching Sports Tonight when Bill said Nicholson instead of Richo and the other one was a sports update at 7.30 or 8.30pm.

The SPORTS TONIGHT bloopers were on again last night.

Bill Woods said the Bulldogs might not make the Ansett Cup finals now they've lost to Adelaide.
The Bulldogs were out if they lost.

Then he said the WCE/STK game was a dead game because North and Collingwood are already in the finals.
How can both make it ?
