Get Underwood off

[Guest Balls_Grinter_14]

must be the worst commentator in history. The footy today is unenjoyable to watch because she is calling it. What were ch 10 thinking. I cant watch the photo while she is calling the game.

In the words of ray 'slug' jordan - geeeet 'er off

It's not about the voice, it's about the incessant catch-phases reeled out one after another. I'd mute the TV, but Tim Lane and Malcolm Blight are on, both of whom actually think before they speak.

Ohhh this is a great thread! I can't stand her, she is a terrible commentator but i really don't like any of the channel 10 commentators

[Sir Why You Little 36,606]

Her voice is dull and lifeless, her ability to commentate the game is worse

Please read this Ch 10...

[Hannabal 4]

It's not just about the voice

I've helped you out there.

Also, did anyone notice when the Crows were coming in the last she said that they needed 7 goals to win when they were down by 25 points ? She looked at the goals column, which said 6 goals to 13, but didn't take into account Adelaide's 1 million points.

Embarrassing.

[Guest Rojik of the Arctic]

She knows her stuff but she just doesn't have the charisma to be a commentator.

i second this post!!!!

Great thread.

I can't stand her.

Makes the game impossible to watch. Fran Drescher voice and terrible Calling ability

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Underwood is terrible and I turned it off rather than continue to listen to her. I can't stand her monotone and some of the drivel she comes out with is just cringeworthy. I put her in a category above Rex Hunt as the worst commentator I have ever heard up till now Hunt was a clear winner.

She knows her stuff..??

Do you really believe that?

[desertfox 9]

It's not just her annoying voice. It's not that she's female. It's just that she's a baised as they come in the commentary box (more than Eddie) and I cant stand that.

Can still remember her cheering for Geelong whilst calling our game last year the mug!

[Guest Rojik of the Arctic]

Unless she screwed her way into the job she must. I've heard her say some interesting things but they are book facts she has researched pre match rather than being able to analyse and describe on the run. If she stuck to providing research for the other commentators she'd do just fine.

[Felix 92]

she is there because the afl are just being soft, like the female goal umpires. Just wait until they have female field umpires.

bra burning has paid off.

ps, she [censored] me today, just an annoying voice with stupid comments.

[Gorgoroth 12,701]

The only thing worse than listening to a game she is commentating is a Geelong game she is commentating.

I did turn the game off and went and did other things.

Worst. Voice. Ever!

She wasn't anywhere near as bad as Blight. What is that peanut on? Is there even the remotest chance of him stringing together a paragraph worth of sensible, gibberish-free commentary?

The main reason Ten are prepared to gamble with Underwood is the numbingly shallow talent-pool from which to draw talent capable of describing footy in succinct, accurate and logical English.

[gOLLy 401]

She can take qtr.head with her.

Precisely. I'm no Underwood fan, but she's no worse than Christian on Ten or Shaw on Fox. At least she generally gets players' names right, that puts her ahead of Shaw in my books.

It always bemuses me how hard a time channels seem to have in attracting competent commentators. There's so much garbage filling the airwaves during matches that it makes watching very difficult. It's probably got a lot to do with the fact that many of the jobs tend to go to players retiring from the game rather than genuinely talented commentators.

I agree Nasher, But Underwood was never a player and is certainly not a talented commentator!! How did she get the gig?

Right place, right time I can only presume. Much like Anthony Hudson (though Hudson is a superior commentator, which isn't saying a lot).

I was just thinking that, Hudson drives me mad, but he is a proffesional caller i have to admit, and apart from Tim Lane the cupboard is thin.

[ucanchoose 1,816]

It's hard to be a commentator when you don't commentate. She just says names, that's it. When she tries to come out with something smart it's utter [censored]. Is anybody from channel 10 here? I hope so............

[Kiss of Death 732]

Geelong plays tomorrow... i thought she only commentated Geelong games?

[Retrospective 104]

agree... terrible

along with inability to accurately calculate the number of goals required to bridge a 24 point deficit also had this beauty:

"Andrew McLeod at 34 just keeps getting better"

I've mentioned my unfortunate marital status before (Crows supporter although she will take out Dees membership and barrack for us and we've agreed it's best if the children are raised in The MFC faith) but even she wouldn't call Mcleod "..still improving..."

get her off
