Opinion Worst commentators in your time

[astrowizzle]

So who as commentators can/could you not stand

For mine Bob Skilton was an oxygen thief. Just baracked for whoever Essendon played every time. His whiney piss ant voice just shat me
Didn't like Bruce Mcevaney either. Measured the kick
With ****ing what

 

[mike ross]

Andy Maher and his squeaky voice

BT/ end thread

 

[Pweter]

I never like Drew Morphett when commentating footy, but for some reason I didn't mind his radio cricket commentary.

I don't want to continue the pile on and I stay quiet when it gets brought up, but not Kellie Underwood fan.

 

[Corleone]

I haven't enjoyed TV commentary for a good 15 years. They are shocking.

My dream would be for the TV stations allow us to just listen to the ambient noise of the crowd with no commentary at all.

 

[Mr Bultitude]

Yeah it's Bruce for me, like that one annoying kid at primary school. Him + peak Hawks was insufferable.

Maher can get stuffed too.

 

[Kong]

Is there a character limit on posts?

 

[ghostdog]

Dwayne. I don't get how he hasn't been mentioned with his dumb f****** bounce passes.

I liked Peter Landy in the old days and peak Cometti.

 

[mike14]

BT by a lot
Bruce by the end was pretty bad but his prime was excellent
That guy who ended up being a local politician in WA was shit
Der-wayne ain't great

At the other end, I've really enjoyed Matt Hill on the few occasions I've heard him call a game

Dwayne stinks, patronising AF.

Team 38 points down with 27 seconds to go kicks a goal “THEY'RE STILL IN THIS”

BT constantly gets player names wrong. The consummate unprofessional.

 

[BomberManU]

Anthony Hudson, without doubt.

 

[The Donners]

1. BT followed by every other ex-footballer.
2. Kelli Underwood.

Bruce. Just annoying.
Dwayne. Enough said.
BT. Enough said.
Kelli. That voice.
Daisy. Why say 10 words when you can say 127?

You can use the Daisy comment for Dermie too.

Bit harsh on Daisy.

 

[The Donners]

You can use the Daisy comment for Dermie too.

Dermie tries to pass off his drivel as intelligent. Daisy is trying to dumb it down so the majority of her audience understands.

 

[Phone]

look, Jobe sucks an incredible amount. he really stinks. we have a lot commentators/media figures who got a gig because they played good football. And we have some commentators/media figures who we can say got a foot into the door because of their parents. Jobe manages to be both.

Hand on, Daisy Pearce or Daisy Thomas?

I was thinking Thomas who I think is reasonable and I hadn't really noticed the number of words he does or doesn't use, but Dermie certainly dribbles plenty

Yeah he's not great. The mind works too quickly for his mouth to get the words out.

I was talking Pearce.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Richo and Daisy Pearce are deadset awful.

Joel Selwood, [PLAYERCARD]Jordan Lewis[/PLAYERCARD] and Ling are up there too.

Pearce.

I don't really dislike anyone per se, but I prefer the 90s era for commentary, as they just called the game and had less special comments on Ch7 & 3AW, MMM etc. You need good quality callers to make the game more of a spectacle and they rely too heavily on BT these days for the entire scope of the AFL, at least Hudson is still going i guess.

I dunno, i mean, i really liked Rex, Shane Healey, Grybes, Bill Jacobs, Sam N...
just because they were exciting callers of the game, that's what i prefer over special comments, and i think they did a great job. Classic style callers of the game is way more exciting then lethargic special comments as the main show, like these days. Rex had a personality and his funny quotes were creative incorporated into the fast calling style.



Tony Leonard is the only one left who is really good at it. BT is ok, but he was better in the first five years as a caller. Hudson is ok. Does it well.
