Amateur hour. Had the feel of a country league game with 30 people watching and car horns sounding after each goal.

Her voice annoyed the hell out of me - I actually found it very hard to watch the game.

she was no worse than the rest of the team.

Absolutely inadequate coverage including

No mention of interchange players at the start of a quarter

no mention of particular players coming off/going on

no coverage of the MFC interchange bench--at one point Jetta[who played well early] was not seen for ages leading to our speculation that he was injured. By contrast we saw more of Matthew Stokes calves than is healthy!

a concentration only on better known players whereas, eg Bartram had a good game but barely attracted a mention.

I think Kelli should be given a fair go.............they should give her the job fo commentating on the Frem v Port, Bris v Frem, Syd v Frem games.

That would mean having to listen to her voice.

No thanks.

What do you listen or watch the above mentioned games I posted? I suggested these because I can guarantee I'm not interested in these types of games. And I'm not the least bit interested in listening to her. ;)

Where possible I'll watch any game. Ask my wife.

She (now) hates football. I have to be very careful.

Commentating is a Tough Gig, if you want to be Good at it. Breathing, Rythm,Painting a continuous Picture etc.

I Admire her for having a crack. That said she is just not cut for it. But if Channel 10 Pay Andy Maher they will employ anyone...

but she was a women was she not? i was not being sexist just merely describing the goal umpire. or am i not allowed to mention she was a women for fear of coming across as sexist?

It was totally relevant being that she was a women.

It was a goal umpiring mistake and therefore her gender had nothing to do with. Quite obvious, I would have thought.

Bias in a commentator I can cope with. I just think less of them. What I have no time for is the 2 second behind the play commentary and the not knowing players names, but there was a play where one of our players was steaming down the wing (appols to whoever it was) and he nailed Green on the chest in the pocket, honouring a beautiful lead, and that stupid Underwood's call was "He has no options". That sort of stuff should have her sacked on the spot.

Sexism aside, she was rubbish and that comment summed it up! ;)

Most of her comments were no worse than the likes of Huddo, BT, and Quarters. It's just hearing a female voice commentating a game that is extremely blokey is jarring. Just as it'd be jarring hearing a male voice commentating netball (not that i watch it!).

If you did watch it you'd realise that there are male netball commentators, as Trident has said (and they're fine, just like it'd be fine to have a quality female footy commentator IMO).

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
