What was Tony Shaw going on about?

[Blues2001]

Anyone catch the replay of the Geelong v Collingwood match?

When Fraser fell into the post Tony Shaw had the biggest sook in televisional history and wouldn't shut up about it for 5 minutes....about a so-called dead set certain free kick not being paid to the pies......

But where was the free kick????? Did anyone see it?

He has to be the worst media personality going around if you ask me................

I'm still looking long and hard, but coming-up blank!!!

You can take the boy out of Collingwood, but obviously its a whole other matter getting the Collingwood out of the boy!

A bit of overt barracking for the black & whites there Shawy, which is understandable with your history, but when commentating you have to at least preserve the illusion of objectivity.

Thank heavens Anthony Hudson (always one of the better callers going around) was on hand to maintain sanity and his retort -- "get the black & white blinkers off, Shawy", summed up the situation perfectly.

Free kick my arse! The boy Fraser just got a bit over-enthusiastic and (unfortunately for him) ended up damaging himself on the post.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to put my brown & gold blinkers on

I must admit I couldn't work out what Shawy was going on about either...still you can't blame for been biased towards Collingwood. Always going to be a problem having former players commentating their old sides.

I think Tony Shaw just has bad memories of running into stationary objects planted in the ground.

It was you that pushed him, wasn't it Menschy.

Those stationary objects will get you every time.

Pushed him? No. I threw my hands out for the mark and Fraser sensed the danger and thrusted his back towards me. He sheparded me off the ball, in my opinion, but i'm not holding any grudges with the umpire. They've always made it tough for the glamour full forwards to get free kicks, so i've just got to cop that.

Was Tony Shaw a worse commentator or coach?

Hey Menschy, honestly, are you actually a Geelong fan?

Shepherding???? Yeah, you hardly pushed him, but him shepherding?? Come on. It would have been the softest free kick of all time, either way.

Anthony Hudson is a diehard Cats fan too.
But is not biased and is always fair.
To me there was no free kick and it was Fraser's momentum which caused the incident, not Mensch.

Does Mensch ever have momentum?

No, Neil Kerley and Adrian Barich are far worse.
