Derwayne asked Darren Lehmann about pro team sportspeople not communicating enough, due to wearing headphones and using their phones a lot, and Lehmann said it would be better if players would "conversate more".

Nick Riewoldt "....has a penchant for kicking goals" pronounced 'pen chant' followed by 5 seconds of silence in the room.

Not sure of her name, but the chick who does traffic/news on SEN can barely pronounce anything correctly.
She reported on someone getting a Noble Prize the other day, instead of Nobel.

Gerard Whateley spoke of Essendon's 'tatrocious' performance. I think he was going to say terrible and changed his mind.

Grinds my gears the way he pronounces 3 when reading the SEN phone number. And will kill your ears now too.
I don't listen to him. Can't stand the supercilious prick.Grinds my gears the way he pronounces 3 when reading the SEN phone number. And will kill your ears now too.
SEN ran a huge promo for tonight's game: "Sydney versus Adelaide!!"
Commentators calling kicks balls. Christ it’s ridiculous. James Brayshaw last the worst offender. When has a short or long kick become medical or wood tool terms. Seriously it’s either a long or a short kick

I've got to the stage where I turn the commentary down to below the level where I can hear what they are blathering. Brayshaw is quickly reaching Derwayne levels of unbearableness.

The plague of 'greats' and 'legends' with opinions to share seems worse this year. Can we just call them 'retired players with irrelevant opinions'?
"You can't take away All-Australians and replace them. It's just impossible to do. But it doesn't mean it can't be done." - Justin Leppitsch, on Richmond covering for Rance and Riewoldt.

Can't believe the amount of times he says 'footy', 'footy club', 'look' (e.g. 'they get another look at goal'), 'extraordinary', 'ability' and 'real'. Nothing wrong with these words in isolation, but you don't need to hear them 100 times a game. Lots of repetitive words, without much substance in his commentary.
