Guest DeesPower Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Now that Ten has withdrawn from AFL (watch out for a bid for NFL given Lachlan Murdoch/James Packer proclivities), who would be in the Demonland television commentator dream team top 8? My choice: Top 4 game day commentators: Bruce McAvaney, Dennis Commetti, Gerard Wheatley Tim Lane Top 4 special comments: Paul Roos, Robert Walls, Stan Alves, David Schwartz Pet hates: Brian Taylor, Lee Matthews, Malcolm Blight, Steven Quartermaine, "Spud" Frawley , Chris Grant.
Allen Jakovich 519 Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Callers: Bruce, Dennis, Lane, Hudson Comments: Lyon, Dermie, Roos, Frawley
Captain Jack Jordan 32 Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Hudson is on the bench . Would be sporting fountain of knowledge: Gideon Haigh Reality : Dork who cant produce without a thesaurus and his reference books because he does not actually like sport . Dennis Cometti is the Richie Benaud of AFL Tim Lane is good , Sandy good The rest are sheep . Tolerable: Wheatley ,Lyon ,Blight .
GawnWithTheWind 604 Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Cometti and Bruce are terrible.. Get rid of them.. So boring to listen to
Nasher 33,651 Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 I can't come up with eight that I can stand listening to.
hellraiser 0 Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Rex Hunt edit, I hope the whole channel 10 team retires for good
Straight Sets Simon 23,113 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Best Commentators: Gerard Whateley (ABC), Anthony Hudson (Ten), Dennis Cometti (Seven), Glenn Mitchell (ABC - WA only) Best Special Comments: Stan Alves (ABC), Paul Roos (Fox), Tim Watson (Seven), David Parkin (ABC) Worst Commentators: Stephen Quartermain (Ten), Michael Christian (Ten), Dwayne Russell (Fox) Worst Special Comments: Tony Shaw (Fox), Danny Frawley (Fox), Alastair Lynch (Fox), Liam Pickering (Fox), Robert Walls (Ten), Malcolm Blight (Ten), Luke Darcy (Ten), Dermott Brereton (SEN), Glen Jakovich (Fox)
Dee*ceiving 1,738 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Best Commentators - Dennis Commetti, Anthony Hudson, Hamish 'Hammer' McLaughlin Special Comments - Garry Lyon, Danny Frawley Absolutely putrid - Tony Shaw, Alastair Lynch, Matthew Campbell, Brian Taylor, Dwayne Russell, Glen Jakovish, Jason Dunstall, Michael Christian, Malcolm Blight. Everyone else is tolerable.
Kento80 83 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 My best: Whateley, McAvaney, Commetti, Dunstall, Frawley, Pickering, Roos, Harley. Worst: Quarterbrain, Hudson, Lane, Lynch, Blight, Lloyd Intolerable: Mark Ricciuto and Robert Walls To say best by no means says I like em, it's just that I can tolerate em.
Dappa Dan 2,188 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Top 4 game day commentators: Bruce McAvaney, Oh God, please no... He's appalling. Cometti and Bruce are terrible.. Get rid of them.. So boring to listen to Bruce drags Commetti down with him. Dennis is hands down the best we've had, and likely the best we're gonna see for a long time. Grybas is sorely missed too. Hudson and Commetti for mine. The old heads need to go. BT is probably going to be round for another few decades.
Roger Mellie 4,205 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Hudson is on the bench . Would be sporting fountain of knowledge: Gideon Haigh Reality : Dork who cant produce without a thesaurus and his reference books because he does not actually like sport . Dennis Cometti is the Richie Benaud of AFL Tim Lane is good , Sandy good The rest are sheep . Tolerable: Wheatley ,Lyon ,Blight . Gideon Haigh has an exceptional insight into the game and has authored several books on that subject. He still plays cricket and it's his passion! You should get yourself a thesaurus and have a read
Striker475 696 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Tony Shaw is far and away the worst AFL media personality. Has no general sports knowledge. His AFL knowledge is limited and provides absolutely no insight. Even with Collingwood he struggles, honestly. My dream team: Rex Hunt/Dennis Commetti as primary callers, with Anthony Hudson as backup David King, Garry Lyon special comments Richo on the boundary And MMM +1 for Doc Larkins, an actual doctor doing the injury stuff is the best updater around.
Sydney Dee 1 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 I'm excited to hear Bruce's call on Friday night. He provides entertainment and a laugh. Hopefully we'll be playing some "sppppecialllll" footy
Deestroy All 14,266 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 I can't come up with eight that I can stand listening to.
Captain Jack Jordan 32 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Gideon Haigh has an exceptional insight into the game and has authored several books on that subject. He still plays cricket and it's his passion! You should get yourself a thesaurus and have a read Gideon Haigh is a dilletante and a [censored] who pretends to like sport but also thinks of himself as a some kind of highbrow commentator .Knows nothing about cricket or football and couldn't write his name on a sandwich . Probably should be commentating equestrian or something equally poncey .
