Who would you want representing your team in commentary?

[CrowToon]

This year we have seen an even more noticeable shift on Fox toward commentators barracking for whatever big Victorian team is playing.

But to be fair for anyone watching Sunday twilight we usually have to listen to Schofield so I guess in some ways we all have pain points.

The point is imagine if Fox just leaned into the whole biased commentary thing and put someone from each team into commentary who had free reign to, respectfully and professionally, insert some representation. Who would you pick for your side?

I'd like a big upgrade on the gravel tones of Mark Ricciuto

Surely you dont mean Will Schofield supporting the Eagles?
Most eagles fans want him out because he is generally biased against us lmao. Its awful listening with Schoey and Pav, with Simmo there sometimes doing his best to hide any bias

Not really anybody in commentary on fox at the moment who favours the Eagles, not sure who

Mark Howard is pretty impartial in his commentary. Jason Dunstall and Dermott Brereton are terrible though…

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

That's easy. Bring back Dennis Cometti and Bruce McAvaney. All the limp wristed cucks on CH7 and Fox Footy can go and ...... there's plenty of them.

Yes, if impartial means squealing like a teenage girl over whichever anointed superstar is playing that week - and that he's on a first name basis. Absolutely cringeworthy assclown.

K-Rock does me just fine.

Gosh I love supporting a team that still represents something.

Wow, mad to hear a Geelong fan say this. Hands down the most biased commentary I have ever heard was Howard in the Geelong vs Freo game at GMHBA in 2022. Didn't even try to hide his excitement as the Cats scored two goals late in the last quarter to close within three points.

He is generally half glass full with freo and also knows the names of our players.
It was so good hearing weasle Garry and Lewis commentating dogs freo
The second quarter it sounded like they were out numbered in a gun fight
Forcing positivity at gun point

 

[Cyclonus]

David King has done a good job this year.

 

[Partridge]

He was probably earmarked to interview his mate Dangerfield Patrick after the game. Being impartial and professional would just get in the way.

I don't want any commentator barracking for us. That's not their job.
